Hm I liked MLX-OS/Onyx... don't think they'll keep both around

So, what's next? AMD buys Chelsio and maybe Arista?

 

[Cixelyn]

Yeah hmm unfortunately gonna guess that Onyx is going to be killed in favor of Cumulus in a year or two. I liked it too, but it doesn't make sense to fund development of two separate switch OSes esp. when Mellanox already has a SKU + deep integration for Cumulus-based Spectrum switches.

Hmm, would dropping onyx mean the end for infiniband?

Thats what I wondered too, but I don't imagine that.
So either they do keep Onyx for that reason or they beef up Cumulus to do IB...
