Back again: VSHN at Swiss Cloud Native Day 2026

On September 17, the Swiss Cloud Native community heads up the Gurten again, for the sixth edition of the Swiss Cloud Native Day. And as in previous years, VSHN is on the sponsor list. We wouldn’t want to miss it.

Why we keep coming back

The Cloud Native Day is not a trade show. It’s organized by the nonprofit association bernerit.rocks, carried by a lot of voluntary work and made for the people who actually run these technologies in production. 250 participants, one day, two tracks, and a funicular up the mountain. Show your conference ticket and the ride on the Gurtenbahn is free.

It’s exactly this mix of engineers, hallway conversations and good mountain air that makes an event we’re glad to support. That’s why we’re back as a sponsor.

Come and see us at our booth

You’ll find the VSHN team at our booth in the Uptown area, right next to one of the two session rooms. Drop by between talks, have a coffee with us and tell us what you’re building.

Good reasons to stop by:

• You run Kubernetes and want to compare notes on the unspectacular parts: upgrades, backups, on-call, day two.
• You’re curious how we operate managed services on Swiss infrastructure, for customers who care where their data lives.
• You just want to say hi to the people behind the VSHN logo. That’s just as welcome. 🙂

Our talk

VSHN also has a sponsor talk at the conference. We’ll announce time, room and topic closer to the event, so take a look at the schedule or simply ask us at the booth.

If you follow the sovereignty debate in Swiss IT, you’ll quickly notice that it runs through this year’s entire programme: confidential computing, the paradox of cloud sovereignty, supply chain security. A good year to have that conversation in person.

It’s also the question behind Servala, the sovereign app store we’ve been building since 2025. What that looks like in practice, and where it still falls short, is something we’re happy to discuss with you at the booth.

And then there’s the evening

The day ends at 17:45 with the closing session, followed by drinks and a party in the Pavillon until 22:00. Bern, a mountain, and the Cloud Native community in good spirits. If you stay only for the talks, you’re missing half of it.

Get your ticket

Tickets are available at cloudnativeday.ch. The organizers also offer discounted tickets for people who contribute to the conference’s diversity or have a lower income. A short message to tickets@cloudnativeday.ch is enough.

See you on the Gurten on September 17. Look out for the Uptown area, the coffee and our logo.
