VyOS is Debian based, much like the current VR. As long as it is not shipped with CloudStack, all fine. > I have spent some time recently with the VyOS and I have to admit, I was > pretty impressed.

When I looked at VyOS, the release cycle were not very frequent and the current stable release is still based on Debian 6 (EOL [1] since 02.16) However to me, it doesn't matter if it's VyOS or CloudLinux, or another solution. The question is more like what is wrong with the current VR and how can we make the VR great again. Things I would like to see: - VR must have a "clean", programmable, documented, API, supporting batch processing. - VR must be rock solid (minimal shell) state of the art, up to date, but small (Only contain things CloudStack needs, not more) - VR must be scale well (...) and support stateful HA - VR must be easy to upgrade (security) without downtimes.
