SONiC (Software for Open Networking in the Cloud) has been evolving fast. Built on top of SAI (Switch Abstraction Interface), SONiC is truly platform agnostic, enables its user to take full advantage of hardware innovations and keep the investment in the management system intact. SONiC’s unique containerized architecture plus Redis for state transition brings excellent extensibility to its users to customize for their scenarios. In this talk, we will present a full picture of SONiC to the audience – how it originated from challenges in hyper scale cloud networking, design concerns behind it, how the eco system evolved in the last two years, how Microsoft operates it and the roadmap in the near future.
