Adopt
Why?
- Modern AI data centers need consistent and programmable switch software to support large-scale fabrics.
- SONiC decouples network OS from hardware, enabling vendor neutrality and more predictable operations.
- Adopting SONiC helps standardize configuration, telemetry, and automation across our DC switching fleet.
What?
- Standardize on SONiC for leaf/spine switch platforms where open source switch OS compatibility is available.
- Use SONiC’s ecosystem for BGP/EVPN, segment routing, telemetry, and integration with existing orchestration systems.
- Develop operational patterns for image management, configuration drift control, and switch lifecycle automation.
