Hallo, ich bin der neue Non-IT-Frischling. Als ich mich auf die Stellensuche machte um frischen Wind in mein Berufsleben zu bringen, lernte ich VSHN ehrlich gesagt eher durch Zufall kennen. Aber bereits nach dem 1. Meeting wusste ich, dass dies eine absolut coole Firma ist – vielleicht zum Teil noch etwas chaotisch, aber zukunftsorientiert und total nette und offene Leute. 🙂
Welcome to another VSHN.timer! Every Monday, 5 links related to Kubernetes, OpenShift, CI / CD, and DevOps; all stuff coming out of our own chat system and making us think, laugh, or simply work better. This week we will talk about Quality, the Saint Graal of software characteristics, particularly critical in these days of 12 factor apps.
What a great time! Deployment automation, cloud platforms, containerization, short iterations to develop and release software—we’ve progressed a lot. And finally it’s official: Kubernetes and OpenShift are the established platforms to help us do scaling and zero downtime deployments with just a few hundred lines of YAML. It’s a great time.
Welcome to another VSHN.timer! Every Monday, 5 links related to Kubernetes, OpenShift, CI / CD, and DevOps; all stuff coming out of our own chat system and making us think, laugh, or simply work better. This week we feature interesting articles about DevOps, one of the most widely misunderstood and misquoted words in the modern business of software.
On Wed. August 7 2019, the 5th VSHN DAY took place, where our team meets annually for a voluntary off-site strategy day to discuss the future of VSHN. VSHN Day 2019 Intro: Back to the Future. VSHN co-founder Tobias Brunner (@tobruzh) ignited VSHN Day 2019 with a review. What was the idea behind VSHN? Why did the first VSHNeers join forces in 2014 and founded VSHN AG?

Bem-vindo Nuno. Before VSHN, I’ve been a Linux user from the nineties and then working in *nix technologies for more than a decade, specially leading teams, projects and as a manager. Five years ago I decided to work again as a technician, more focused in Cloud Operations and working remotely with a distributed team across the world. Along the way I was exposed to micro-services using Docker, compose and Kubernetes.
Compared to the last time, the weather was at its best during our second team event. After we played Adventuregolf last time, it should be an outdoor event this time. The VSHNeers gathered in the office and didn’t know exactly what to expect despite some hints in advance. (tip to myself: never leave techies in ignorance…they don’t like that)
It is difficult to have a clear idea about what to expect from a job you would like to have in the future without ever being immersed in the work environment beforehand. Therefore, after coming across the website of VSHN – The DevOps Company, I decided to contact the company and ask for a two-day long introduction to the job. Luckily, shortly after I received an approval from Aarno Aukia, who happened to have graduated from the same school I am visiting now. I was informed that I could come to the company and learn from the software engineers Dimitri Wessels and Peter Bittner about the job. I was happy to find out that both were very much into Python, which I am learning to use for my school project.
VSHN receives Rising Star award: VSHN – The DevOps Company receives the award Rising Star of the ISG Provider Lens Switzerland 2019 study at the award ceremony night in Spreespeicher Berlin.
We are of course very happy that we were able to place ourselves so successfully in the study alongside many well-known global players from the IT world. The VSHNeers Patrick Mathers (CEO) and Markus Speth (CMO) receive the Rising Star from ISG Director Heiko Henkes and are very pleased about the award.
