Cloud Providers¶
Servala lets you choose where your services run. This section is the operational reference for provider selection: data residency, datacenter locations, and provider-specific behavior. For each provider's full profile (available services, compliance certifications, and datacenter locations), see its page on servala.com.
Choosing a provider¶
When selecting a provider for your service, consider:
- Data residency: where your data is physically stored
- Compliance: certifications and regulatory frameworks the provider meets (listed on each provider's profile on servala.com)
- Service availability: not all services are available on all providers (see the availability matrix below)
- Proximity: network latency to your applications and users

Provider-agnostic experience¶
While the underlying infrastructure differs between providers, the Servala Portal experience is consistent. You use the same interface to provision, manage, and monitor services regardless of which provider you choose. The portal abstracts away provider-specific details, so you can focus on your service configuration.
