About VSHN

VSHN – The DevOps Company

VSHN (pronounced ˈvɪʒn like “vision”) is Switzerlands leading DevOps, Docker, Kubernetes, Openshift and 24/7 cloud operations partner.

VSHN was founded with the intention to fundamentally shake up the hosting market. As a lean startup, we have focused on operating IT platforms through automation, agility and a continuous improvement process. Completely location-independent and without our own hardware, we operate extensive applications according to the DevOps principle agilely and 24/7 on every infrastructure, so that software developers can concentrate on their business and IT operations are relieved.

VSHN is the link between business, software development and IT operations.

VSHN supports software developers in making applications automatically testable, deployable and scalable and operating them on any infrastructure. In addition to close and agile cooperation and consulting, we also take over responsibility for the stability of our services, including 24/7 support.

Open Source and giving back

We believe in openness and sharing know-how, experience and code (Open Source). We use open source software wherever possible, but also give our own developments back to the community. Have a look at our Github profile: https://github.com/vshn or K8up – our Kubernetes Backup Operator. We do not only support the Linux Foundation and Cloud Native Computing Foundation financially in terms of our membership or sponsoring of KubeCon/CloudNativeCon, but also by organizing events like the Cloud Native Computing Meetups in Zurich. VSHN is also a member of CH Open, swiss made software and simsa/swico.
