This is the exact same Extensible Operating System (EOS) that runs on Arista physical hardware, packaged to run in a virtual machine (VM).
: Indicates the virtualized flavor of Arista’s Extensible Operating System. veos-4.27.0f.vmdk
: New support for multiple IS-IS instances within the default VRF. This is the exact same Extensible Operating System
: This is one of the most common use cases. Many organizations have budget constraints that make purchasing physical switches for every test or development scenario impractical. vEOS directly addresses this, allowing for the validation of configurations and the development of automation scripts without a large hardware investment. vEOS is a key component in development environments for Arista Validated Designs (AVD), which use Ansible to automate data center fabrics. : This is one of the most common use cases
The vEOS-lab images are intended for non-production lab use. For production-grade virtual switching, Arista provides standard EOS images.
