Recap: Cloud Native Zürich 2025 – A Day Full of Insights, Innovation, and Community

On June 12, 2025, the Swiss cloud-native community gathered at SOHO / Abaton Zürich for Cloud Native Zürich 2025 – and what a fantastic day it was! As a proud sponsor and active part of the cloud-native scene, the VSHN team was thrilled to meet so many engineers, developers, platform teams, and cloud enthusiasts.

Inspiring talks and engaging networking

From the opening keynotes to the final sessions, Cloud Native Zürich offered a diverse program with technical deep dives, real-world use cases, and forward-looking insights. Topics included Kubernetes optimization and scaling, platform engineering, and of course, the use of AI.

A true highlight was the closing keynote “From Voyager to JWST: The Evolution from Data-Poor to Data-Driven Exploration” by astrophysicist Dr. Thomas Zurbuchen, Professor of Space Science and Technology at ETH Zürich Space and former NASA Associate Administrator for Science, which was not only inspiring but also thought-provoking.

Thanks for stopping by our booth 🎁

We were very happy to welcome so many of you at our booth, which we shared with Red Hat! Whether you chatted with us about Servala, APPUiO, Kubernetes oder Managed OpenShift, grabbed a LEGO set, or wanted to learn more about our DevOps solutions – we appreciated every single conversation.

Events like this always remind us how special our community is: many familiar faces, many new contacts – simply great people coming together in Zürich.

Highlights of the day

• 👋 Great encounters with the community, customers, partners, and tech enthusiasts
• 🧱 Our LEGO raffle was a big success – congratulations to the winners!
• 💬 Inspiring sessions – especially the keynote by Thomas Zurbuchen left a lasting impression
