Detailed Review
Leafcloud B.V. is described in its privacy policy as a Dutch organisation. The terms apply Dutch law and name the civil court of Amsterdam.
Its GPU comparison table lists RTX 6000 Blackwell 96GB, H100 80GB, A100 80GB and A30 24GB with the full VM included in the price.
Euro prices on one page
The table puts Leafcloud at €1.99 for the RTX 6000, €3.15 for the H100, €1.61 for the A100 and €0.60 for the A30 per hour, excluding VAT, next to rows for other providers.
The comparison is the vendor's own, so treat it as a claim.
Heat reuse model
Leafcloud places servers at Leaf Sites that convert server heat into hot water for buildings. The company says this avoids new construction.
The sovereignty pages also address the US CLOUD Act directly.
OpenStack underneath
The platform is built on OpenStack, with Gardener-based managed Kubernetes that supports GPU-native orchestration. Block and object storage are also on the list.
OpenStack compatibility may ease migration from other providers.
Limitations to Consider
The GPU table mentions one region, ams-1. There is no InfiniBand cluster offer on the pages checked, so multi-node training is out of scope. The price comparison is self-published. Capacity for large reservations is not stated.
Who Should Use Leafcloud
Teams in the Netherlands and neighbouring countries that need H100 or A100 VMs at a euro price and care about heat reuse.
