Khem,
Fully agree that Yocto has is good, 'cause it supports cross-build, has a wide industry support and actually it has **the version** (meaning, all the packages are taken with specific git commit id unlike debian/ubuntu binaries). But then, I'm confused in the other respect... I'm looking at the OpenSwitch build system (part of Open Compute project under Linux Foundation) and I see that is uses yocto as a subsystem. It's really confusing because yocto is supposed to have "meta-XYZ" for OpenSwitch support. So, when choosing a build system for OpenSwitch-based products - do one still has to use yocto or just go with the build system provided by OpenSwitch?

The community supports the project. There are also lot of commercial OS vendors which use Yocto project to build their products, so you can always go to them if you are looking for commercial support. For advantages, it can build a small footprint since it builds bottom up. So you can really get only needed packages for your custom image. It will create a source based distribution for you where you have control over every part of the OSS stack. You can really tailor your solution to your needs. It builds in cross-build environment, supports many CPU architectures and machines The community is very welcoming and helpful. You can easily contribute to the project and fulfill your needs by doing so. The learning curve might be a bit steeper. But then you do have trainings available offerred by professionals.

Through Google I get an impression that there is a race between Yocto, CentOS (RedHat) and 6WIND Linux distributions to get most of NFV/SDN Linux distro market. Can you please help to find cons and pros of using Yocto for NFV/SDN networking product? I google over NFV/SDN part of www.etsi.org<http://www.etsi.org> but couldn't make up my mind what specific distro got the traction. I see that Yocto has NFV/SDN layers (reference<http://events.linuxfoundation.org/sites/events/files/slides/YP_and_OpenStack_LinuxCon2014.pdf>): ``` git clone git://git.yoctoproject.org/meta-cloud-services<http://git.yoctoproject.org/meta-cloud-services> git clone git://git.openembedded.org/meta-openembedded<http://git.openembedded.org/meta-openembedded> git clone --branch icehouse git://git.yoctoproject.org/meta-virtualization<http://git.yoctoproject.org/meta-virtualization> git clone git://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core<http://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core> oe-core ``` Are these layers officially supported by Intel? Does Intel provide the NFV/SDN support?
