Exclusive Interview from OCP Dublin: Making SONiC “Real” — Beyond Deployment, Into 2,000 Days of Operations
In this exclusive interview recorded at OCP Dublin, Sebastian sits down with Amir to explore what it really takes to turn SONiC into a production-grade network operating system — not just for day one deployment, but for the thousands of days of operation and maintenance that follow.

From AI-powered network automation to the latest advancements in Verity software, Amir shares a clear vision: SONiC success is measured in reliability, repeatability, and long-term operability.

Verity v64: What’s New and Why It Matters
A major part of the conversation focuses on Verity v64 and the capabilities designed for modern, scalable operations:

➡️ Infrastructure as Code (IaC) with APIs for Terraform, Ansible, and Kubernetes
➡️ Industry-first integrated packet broker with orchestration
➡️ Agentic AI for network management — including natural-language provisioning and workflows

SensAI and Satori: From Observability to Outage Prevention
We also dive into SensAI, their AI-driven tool positioned as “the one who sees all,” built to deliver deeper visibility across the network.

And looking ahead, Amir shares insights on Satori — an upcoming platform that combines AI, machine learning, and hyper-observability to predict issues early and help prevent outages before they impact services.

Key Moments
➡️ How AI is changing SONiC operations and network automation
➡️ What makes SensAI and Satori stand out in a crowded market
➡️ Amir’s advice for young professionals: embrace change, stay adaptable, and keep learning
