DevOpsDays Zurich 2019. We were Platinum Sponsor at the DevOpsDays Zurich 2019 and had our own booth with APPUiO. The number of visitors doubled again this year and you can definitely say that DevOpsDays has developed into one of the most important DevOps events in Zurich.

VSHN – The DevOps Company is pleased to announce K8up (pronounced /keɪtæpp/) at KubeCon / CloudNativeCon 2019, our Open Source backup operator for Kubernetes and OpenShift.

DevOps stands for a new culture and approach in the collaboration of traditionally separated departments. Development (software development) and Operations (IT operations) are pulling together to increase software quality and availability and thus customer satisfaction.

Serverless is one of those hot topics that, as many others in our industry, looks a bit like a good old idea recycled and brought back to fashion. Yet Serverless (or “Function as a Service”) looks like a natural evolution to a movement that started more than a decade ago, when Heroku and Google App Engine came under the spotlight. (This blog post is the transcription of the presentation given at the CNC Switzerland meetup, May 9th 2019. Slides are available at the end of this page.)

Unser drittes Cloud Native Computing Meetup 2019 fand am Do. 09. Mai im Swisscom Tower in Zürich statt. Herzlichen Dank an Swisscom für die Bereitstellung der tollen Räumlichkeiten und an Cloudreach für das Sponsoring des Apéros. Das dritte CNC-Meetup 2019 war sehr gut besucht und nach interessanten Talks hatten wir eine spannende Gesprächsrunde in angenehmer Atmosphäre und wundervoller Aussicht über Zürich.

I started my career as a web developer in 1997 using Microsoft technologies. This was at the times when Netscape Navigator was still a thing; we did not call ourselves “Full-Stack engineers;” and apps were not running on “The Cloud” yet, but simply on a non-virtual, actual, often rebooted, Windows server, somewhere in a datacenter, with a single-core Pentium II chip, and not even a half a gigabyte of RAM.

Section 2 – Examples of Supported Kubernetes Operator SDK workflows: Here we discuss about the three available alternative workflows to generate Operators provided by the last versions of Operator SDK APIs. We also discuss pros and cons of using the various operators workflows.

I once wanted to learn real programming, so I wrote a mail to Aarno Aukia and asked if I could come by for a trial day. He wrote me back very quickly and we made an appointment. I received more detailed information on the phone from my accompanying person Peter Bittner. He explained the program to me and made me a computer ready.

iX Magazine article: Cloud-to-Cloud MigrationOur CTO Aarno Aukia has contributed an article in iX Magazine 4/2019 on cloud-to-cloud migration. The challenge of Cloud-to-Cloud MigrationThere are many reasons to change the cloud provider or the cloud model. But migration is not an easy task. There are different migration options based on the underlying data.

Unter “Warum VSHN?” ist in der Stellensuchen bei uns aufgeführt: Quartalsweise Teamevents. Noch kein Quartal dabei, oblag mir nun die Ehre, den ersten Teamevent im 2019 zu organisieren. Nun ging das grosse Suchen los: Escaperoom, Bierbrauerei, Fondueessen, Lasertag… irgendwie hat diese Firma alles «Teameventtypische» schon gemacht und mit zu abstrusen Vorschlägen wollte ich als Newbie nicht schon kommen…

Switzerland is the 6th region in Europe (europe-west6) and the 19th region of the Google Cloud Platform worldwide to offer computing, storage, big data and network services. It is connected to Google’s well-equipped, secure and private network to provide global access to all services of the Google Cloud Platform.

Nach meinem Informatik-Bachelor-Abschluss im 2012 war ich für sechs Jahre als System Engineer und System Administrator bei einem KMU in Luzern tätig. In diesem KMU wurde Software im Bereich Digital Signage entwickelt und diese bei Kunden integriert. Ich war als System Engineer verantwortlich für das Deployment der auf Tomcat basierten Webapplikation bei Kunden. Als System Administrator zeichnete ich mich verantwortlich für die gesamte interne IT-Infrastruktur.

Section 1 – Kubernetes Operators, Operator Framework, and Operators SDK: Here we discuss in a general setting about Operators, Operator Framework, and Operators SDK.Then we will discuss about the Operators SDK emerging popularity in GitHub, and in general about the “Operator SDK workflow” adopted for generating and handling operators.

Kubernetes has become an omnipresent platform to host cloud-native applications. As a rather low-level platform, it is often made developer-friendly by wrapping it into higher-level platforms, such as OpenShift (OKD), and by turning it into a managed service platform, such as APPUiO, which can be deployed to any cloud infrastructure.

Unser zweites Cloud Native Computing Meetup 2019 fand am Do. 21. Februar im Swisscom Tower in Zürich statt. Herzlichen Dank an Swisscom für die Bereitstellung der tollen Räumlichkeiten und an Nine für das Sponsoring des Apéros.

Seit dem 18. Februar bin ich jetzt bei der VSHN – geplant war das jedoch nicht. Ich bin im Januar aus Deutschland hierher gekommen und hatte erstmal eine Stelle in einem anderen Unternehmen. Dann habe ich jedoch recht schnell gemerkt, dass mir die Arbeit dort nicht so zusagt, da vor allem mit Windows und Microsoft Produkten gearbeitet wurde. Ich bin jedoch schon seit meinem Informatikstudium begeisterter Anwender von Linux und der Gedanke von Open Source liegt mir einfach sehr am Herzen.

On January 30th and 31st 2019, the Container Stack, a two-day event on Kubernetes with one day of workshops and one day of conference, took place for the first time at the FIFA World Football Museum Zurich. VSHN was co-sponsor of the event.

On Jan 31st 2019, the Inside Channels Forum 2019 with the big players of the Swiss ICT industry took place in the Kultur- and Kongresshaus in Aarau. VSHN was there and our CTO Aarno held a Transformation Talk with the topic “How we made the entry into the IT business with DevOps, Cloud and Docker” (in German).
