 OpenConfig and YANG

• YANG - generic language for defining state of the system

• YANG model standardization efforts are not new - they’ve
just never gotten sufficient vendor adoption due to politics
• Enter OpenConfig - working group of operators, not vendors
- Google, AT&T, Comcast, etc
• Trying to solve the model standardization logjam and push
the network industry forward
• Don’t let the name fool you - OpenConfig models define
both system config and status.
