There's incorrect comments in this thread re: VyOS, Vyatta, EdgeOS.
Vyatta is the original OS, based on Debian, dating back to 2005. Its history is detailed here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vyatta https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vyatta
In 2011, Ubiquiti launched their EdgeMax products with EdgeOS which was a fork of Vyatta Core 6.3 ported from x86 to Cavium.
In 2012, Vyatta was acquired by Brocade.
IN 2013, Vyatta Core 6.6 was forked as VyOS.
That's the rough origin of these three OSes.
I used Vyatta Core on a PC at a startup from 2009-2013 as our office router. I haven't paid attention to it or VyOS since then.
I've been running various EdgeOS routers at my home since 2014 or so, first an EdgeRouter Lite and today an EdgeRouter 4.
EdgeOS has been updated quite a bit over the years from its Vyatta Core origins, but the original developers are no longer with Ubiquiti. EdgeOS hasn't seen updates in quite some time now.
Also, not all Ubiquiti run EdgeOS. Only the EdgeRouters do. The rest of their products run a completely different OS, generally either UbiquitiOS or UnifiOS.
