OVHcloud is OpenStack based:
https://www.theregister.com/2019/04/29/ovh_adds_bare_metal_fighters_to_its_roster_looking_to_challenge_the_us_cloud_dominance/

However, OpenStack's UEFI support is seemingly broken. For example,
the OpenStack deployment I use at work fail to boot UEFI VMs when I
set the appropriate flags, which have existed since OpenStack Mitaka
(we're testing on Ussuri right now). According to internal research,
it *may* be fixed in an upcoming OpenStack release, but no one is
sure...
