Explore the architecture and implementation of SONiC-DASH based Smart Switches in this 31-minute conference talk from NANOG. Learn how Microsoft leverages Smart Switch technology to build software-defined networks for critical customer scenarios in Azure's public cloud infrastructure. Discover the hardware and software layers within SONiC that enable multiple accelerated services scenarios through Smart Switches, supporting the concept of 'limitless networking' to meet the ever-increasing scale demands of cloud computing. Examine the Smart Switch hardware and software architecture, including key elements of Accelerated Services Sleds with DPUs (Data Processing Units), and understand the customer and infrastructural benefits of deploying Smart Switches in public cloud environments. Walk through a detailed use case involving connectivity to Private Endpoints in Azure from customers' on-premise environments, and learn about maintaining high availability and service resiliency from Azure operators' perspective. Gain insights from industry experts Murali Venkat from Cisco, who leads SONiC SmartSwitch engineering architecture and chairs the SONiC Virtual Dataplane Workgroup, and Vijay Srinivasan from AMD, who specializes in high-performance networking solutions for AI infrastructure and data centers while contributing to open-source networking initiatives like SONiC and DASH.
