[f-nsp] Extreme Networks bought MLX/VDX/SLX - what about future ?

[Wilbur Smith]

Good to hear, 
I think vSLX-OS should be out by the end of the month. We also have StackStorm support for vSLX-OS planned, so you can build workflows in StackStorm & test without needing hardware.

    This++!
    
    I have already studied the API-guide and used some mocking against the 
    VDX because of its similarity. For https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__github.com_ipcjk_ixgen&d=DwIGaQ&c=IL_XqQWOjubgfqINi2jTzg&r=l86Fj-WC0GHHSCjQjuUvTzxOj0iW25AHL3VIC5Dog8o&m=RMwbzJifmbJtgG7Ry2T-zhmOJoTJVTNaUcbgA8_PCHM&s=re2ASISgux9ePGTwmF8TefJOJ-0m01zxVwdeUPv0h_s&e=  I am 
    creating SLX-configurations based on the CLI-syntax, despite I am not 
    owning SLX devices right now.
    
    Being able to execute these things against API and / or run the binary 
    directly from the management router is a fortune and will introduce 
    competitive advantage.
