This downgrade is quite sad. Too many of the enterprise grade network devices rely on linux. At least the FreeBSD Junos still runs on the devices on top of KVM

At least the FreeBSD Junos still runs on the devices on top of KVM. I just can't understand why they didn't go for jails/bhyve or illumos zones instead.
- djxfade 3y agoWhat makes you say it's a downgrade?

Arista boxes ran Linux from day one and have a much better reputation for stability than virtually any other vendor.
- NexRebular 3y agoI know of Arista (and the rest) all too well. It still doesn't change the fact that putting all eggs to one penguin-shaped basket give me the heebie-jeebies. Monoculturization is never a good thing, yet everyone seems to run towards it with a glee on linux. At least I can put money where my mouth is and continue budgeting for Juniper as long as they support FreeBSD.
