Re: Vyatta to VyOS

[Rhys Rhaven <rhys () rhavenindustrys com>]

This is great. I've been using Vyatta for a long while, but the constant 
bugs and the lack of turnaround on fixing them was really sad. With my 
lovely sales rep Erica calling me up every now and again trying to sell 
more licenses, in the way only soulless sales drones can. Extract money 
from the customer, disregard all complaints and requests for fixing of 
simple bugs. I was asking for the puppet/chef modules for Vyatta devices 
for 2 years and finally ended up using their unsupported CLI api to do 
part of it myself. That kind of automation is a huge chunk of SDN.

I'm curious if VyOS will support "vPlane," which under Broadcom they 
seem to have finally shipped.
