Cloud Native Bern Meetup, Januar 2026

Am 27. Januar 2026 dürfen wir euch zu einem weiteren Cloud Native Meetup in Bern begrüssen. Es erwarten uns bei der BFH Wirtschaft in Bern zwei Talks zu spannenden Themen

16:30 – Türöffnung
17:00 – Begrüssung
17:05 – Sovereign Secrets Management with FOSS (Antonio Tauro, Adfinis)
In this session we will explore the robust capabilities of OpenBao, an open-source secrets management tool, and its integration within modern DevOps workflows. We'll delve into how OpenBao can securely handle sensitive data and streamline secret management processes when working with GitLab CI/CD pipelines and Kubernetes Secrets. Attendees will learn how to leverage OpenBao to enhance security, reduce operational overhead, and maintain sovereignty over their secrets. The session will include practical demonstrations of setting up OpenBao, integrating it with GitLab and Kubernetes to ensure a secure and efficient cloud-native environment.

Benefits to the ecosystem Enhanced security, reduced operational overhead, and maintained sovereignty over secret management within DevOps workflows.
17:45 – Pause
17:55 - Dig Smart: Building a Reliable Cloud-Native DNS for Modern Networks (Joel Studler, Fabian Schulz and Georgios Daskalopoulos, Swisscom)
Join us for a tech talk where we'll demonstrate how we operate and automate a highly available, geo-redundant DNS service for Swisscom's 5G mobile network using a cloud-native tech stack. We'll provide an in-depth look into our multi-cluster architecture that leverages ExternalDNS, PowerDNS, and CoreDNS. Additionally, we'll showcase how the system behaves when a cluster breaks down, and how we monitor and troubleshoot this multi-cluster setup at scale.

This talk will be particularly interesting for those with demanding DNS requirements—such as applications which require rare DNS resource records like NAPTR—as well as engineers and architects tasked with building a DNS service using cloud-native tools who, due to compliance, governance, or availability concerns, cannot use publicly available DNS-as-a-service offerings.
18:35 - Apéro

Sprache: Deutsch/Englisch, je nach Präferenz der Speaker*innen.
Wir freuen uns riesig, euch wieder bei uns zu begrüssen und gemeinsam in den Feierabend zu starten. Bis bald!
