Juniper Migration Journey#

Leroy de Vos - AMS-IX

• Why: A large exchange platform migrating its core to Juniper is exactly the kind of hard-won operator postmortem this PM values: multi-year hardware/vendor cutover on live infrastructure, with all the migration sequencing, risk management, and "what we'd do differently" detail that transfers across environments. Given the PM's core interest in switching and fabric operations, this is the program's most concrete systems talk.
• What: An AMS-IX technical-track session recounting the organization's migration of its exchange platform to Juniper. (No abstract published — from title and track only.)
• How: Not stated; presumably the migration plan, cutover approach, and lessons learned for running a production fabric through a vendor transition.
• Where applicable: AMS-IX-specific in topology (one of the world's largest IXes), but the migration-management lessons — how you stage a cutover of a system that cannot go down — apply to any operator replacing core switching or routing platforms. No abstract; write-up is from the title and Technical Track designation only.
