Ubiquiti Edge OS
So at last Thursday’s Airmax convention type thing Ubiquiti announced that they are going to be running their own routing OS, EdgeOS.
From what I understand it is repackaged Vyatta. Vyatta has a community edition, and I’m going to operate under the assumption that this is what Edge is based on.
It looks like they’ve brought their CLI up to industry standards, which is nice. The config file is still a convoluted C++ style file š
They plan to have:
Justin sat through the presentation and has more details on it here.
UBNT has a forum thread going with feature requests being listed here. It drives me bananas when products are announced, but have no official resource for documentation, so we will just have to wait for real details.
It is Vyatta. The two developers at Ubiquiti were with Vyatta. One was there for 5 years! Keep in mind Vyatta has been around for 6 years.
@8up
Indeed. Thanks for the update. Did you make it to the show…if so, why didn’t you stop by and say hello. Not that my feelings are hurt *sulks*
I did, I was there. Andrew even said “Greg is over there” no more than 15 feet around the corner. Then I got pulled in other directions by other people and then I had to leave all of a sudden =(
It’s totally my fault. I’m bad and I should feel bad.
@8up
Such is life sir. Perhaps I’ll catch you at the next one? Honestly, I don’t even know your real name. You would have to say “I’m that 8up guy.” hehe.
@8up
Who has time for such time wasters? hehehe
I will say “I am that 8up guy” =)
I guess you’re not headed to Animal Farm or the WISPA shows, are you? You only went to Vegas for the MUM?
@Josh
I’m not really a Can-o-pee guy, so I won’t be making it to the Animal Farm. I have a hard enough time getting away for 3 days of MUM, so I most likely won’t be making it to the next WISPA show. They did offer to let me sit a panel, though…which would help to inflate my already massive ego….hehehehe
I am not a Canopy guy either, the show is about WISPs in general. It’s more about networking than anything else, like other shows.
Sooner or later our paths will cross again, I’m sure!
@Josh
I did see the last day’s activities and have to say that it looks interesting. I have to go to MUM to keep my status, plus I love me some Latvians. If I swing another trip that is not a vacation with my wife I might get smothered in my sleep š
If she hasn’t been to SLC, I recommend it. Great places to eat. Rodizio, Red Iguana and The Pie are absolutely awesome!
@Josh
That’s usually what we do. We hit a convention and while I sit inside a room with no windows, she goes and sees the city…and then brags about all of the cool stuff she saw. š
See you can take her there and say it was your amazing idea and you wanted her to have a good time =)
@Josh
She can smell a lie…and fear…I think they all can.
We thought it up together, so it isn’t a lie. Take credit where it is due =)
@Josh
Unless I fully believe it I will fail the polygraph.
Too good of a soul, it seems.
I’m not leaving the industry any time soon and as long as you keep doing whatever it is you do we will meet some day. Just give it some time.
@Josh
Remind me when animal farm gets a little closer…several of the topics sound quite interesting. I’d like to make the IPTV one.
Would you hate me if I told you Animal Farm is a little closer now? =P
@Josh
Correct sir, I now hate you *hates Josh*

@Josh
That’s right…don’t forget it.
