SONiC as open source NOS empowers us to use uniform Operating System, Network Monitoring & Management tools and Life-cycle Management tools, across heterogeneous hardware platforms from multiple vendors, as opposed to proprietary NOS and customized tools per hardware vendor. There has been significant ongoing contribution towards the code and feature development in the open source community. Adoption is increasing as well and expanding beyond the cloud providers. While it is progressing to get more matured, it comes with its own challenges in order to operationalize it and to get the most out of it.
