Does the Nvidia acquisition of Cumulus make that even worse going forward?

  Cumulus was a pure software company; now that they are part of Mellanox there are more business models available such as subsidizing software with hardware.

    It's also interesting that Nvidia (via Mellanox) announced on their blog their support for SONiC [0] a week after they acquired Cumulus. [0] https://blogs.nvidia.com/blog/2020/05/12/mellanox-integrated-sonic-open-networking/ https://blogs.nvidia.com/blog/2020/05/12/mellanox-integrated...

      SONIC has a very similar vibe to OpenStack and k8s. It's too big to fail, it has what plants crave, and you're dead if you're not on the bandwagon. Whether the code works doesn't matter.
