Swisscom: A modern and sovereign Private Cloud «Kubernetes Service» for Swiss-based enterprises

[mrbobbytables]

Swisscom's "Kubernetes Service" is a sovereign, vendor-agnostic Private Cloud offering designed for the B2B market to provide a secure and scalable alternative to global public hyperscalers. Built entirely on open-source CNCF projects like Kubernetes, KubeVirt, Kube-OVN, and ArgoCD, the architecture utilizes a two-layered approach: the Cloud Native Infrastructure Platform (CNIP) for virtual machine abstraction and the Swisscom Kubernetes Platform (SKP) for tenant management. By moving away from proprietary technology, Swisscom ensures true data sovereignty under Swiss law while maintaining a competitive, highly flexible environment that supports comprehensive multi-tenancy, automated GitOps delivery, and future expansions into hybrid and edge cloud computing.
