The “why”
VyOS was designed as a software router with hypervisors in mind from the beginning. This choice allowed us to grow into a NOS that will help you explore the full potential of Google Cloud.
- Reliable:
Utilize the full power of Google’s 100+ edge locations while VyOS enables you to diversify connections through the support of its failover variants. - Cost-efficient:
VyOS is essentially a centralized performance and management solution, which effectively eliminates the need to invest in and maintain multiple computing instances. - Scalable:
The only thing limiting your performance with VyOS is the amount of available computing resources. Need more juice? Move to a more powerful instance and process more traffic without a hitch. - Secure:
Safely connect your cloud environment, office and dedicated infrastructure to an array of VPN technologies, including DMVPN. - DevOps-ready:
You can deploy and manage your GCP network infrastructure using DevOps tools of your choice, including Hashicorp Terraform and Red Hat Ansible. - Open-source:
VyOS is a community-driven project. Our entire codebase is open for auditing, bespoke image builds and your contributions.
