Fresh from a two-hour Network Field Day session at Juniper on its OpenContrail transition to the Linux Foundation, Greg and Drew do a hot take on what we saw and what it means.
We also quickly review Juniper’s ambitions for its commercial Contrail product.
* Moving OpenContrail to be fully open source is harder than it looks
* The move is customer driven (as we hinted previously)
* OpenContrail will diverge from Contrail
* Contrail wants to bridge your private and public clouds, with support for AWS, Google, etc.
* Juniper is building a network platform and moving past products
* Emphasizing security because you can control the network correctly
