Microsoft has released a Debian Linux switch OS. Repeat, a Debian Linux switch OS
From http://www.theregister.co.uk/2016/03..._sonic_debian/

OCP Summit Put down your coffee gently. Microsoft has today released a homegrown open-source operating system, based on Debian GNU/Linux, that runs on network switches.
The software is dubbed SONiC, aka Software for Open Networking in the Cloud. It's a toolkit of code to bend switch hardware to your will, so you can dictate how it works and what it can do, rather than relying on proprietary firmware from a traditional networking vendor.
It also pits Redmond against white-box network operating systems from the likes of HP, Dell, and Cumulus Networks.
SONiC builds upon the Windows giant's Linux-based Azure Cloud Switch (ACS) operating system that we learned about in September.
