Hey,

(first of all, sorry for the ones that get this email twice ... )

Since a long time there are some requests regarding a centralized solution (or a standardized blueprint) for a Container Orchestration Platform ( Kubernetes, OpenShift, etc.) The Linux team was asked to have a look at this and are currently evaluating whether such a platform would economically make "sense", and, if yes, how such a platform need to look like for PSI.

Therefor we would like to gather your specific use cases that you see to run on such an infrastructure.

If your and/or your team is currently running/working on/planning any applications, services, or workloads that could benefit from containerization and centralized orchestration, please share your use cases with us.

When submitting your use case, please include:

Application / Project Name & Brief Overview: What does the application do, and who are its primary users?
Current Hosting / Architecture: How is it hosted today (e.g., VMs, bare metal, cloud)?
Key Requirements & Benefits: What specific capabilities do you need (e.g., auto-scaling, high availability, CI/CD integration, multi-tenancy, regulatory/data compliance)?
Team / Primary Contact: Who should we follow up with for technical deep dives?

Please send your use cases by Friday, October 30th to linux-eng AT psi.ch.

If you have any questions please let us know!

Also if you believe this could be of interest for people not on the distribution list, please forward this request.

All the best

Simon
