Recap Red Hat Summit Connect Switzerland 2025

20. Jan 2025

On January 15, 2025, Red Hat hosted the Red Hat Summit Connect Switzerland in Zurich, bringing together IT leaders, developers, and open-source advocates for an exciting day of networking, learning, and innovation. As Gold Sponsors, we at VSHN – The DevOps Company were thrilled to be part of this key event for the Swiss open-source and cloud-native community.

Engaging Conversations at the VSHN Booth

Our booth was a buzzing hub of activity throughout the day. We had the pleasure of meeting numerous attendees, discussing how VSHN Managed OpenShift works, what our plans are with the VSHN Application Marketplace and how APPUiO – Expert hosting for expert software engineers helps developers streamline their cloud-native operations. Whether it was Kubernetes, automation, or managed cloud services, we enjoyed deep-diving into the topics that matter most to the Swiss IT community.

APPUiO’s namespace-as-a-service offering strikes a perfect balance between the simplicity of traditional hosting options and the complexity of managing a full Kubernetes cluster, making it ideal for software developers who need control and flexibility without the operational burden.

Our Talk: Accelerating Digital Transformation in Healthcare

A key highlight of the event was our joint presentation with our partners Health Info Net AG (HIN) and Gesundheitsamt (Health Department) of Frankfurt, where we explored how cloud-native technologies, Open Source & Container Platforms are accelerating digital transformation in healthcare. The session was well-received, sparking insightful discussions about security, compliance, and the future of healthcare technology.
