Episode notes
Consumer-Led Open Source
- Open-source projects driven by consumers tend to be more successful.
- Hyperscalers' use of Sonic makes it sticky, similar to Kubernetes (Google) and Kafka (LinkedIn).
Open Source Request
- Vishal Shukla had a customer who asked to see the source code for a supposedly "open" networking solution.
- The customer didn't consider it truly open without access to the underlying code.
Sonic Security
- Sonic had 3x more P-SERDs fixed than traditional NOS vendors, according to an analysis.
- This suggests a faster response to security vulnerabilities within the Sonic community.
