[yocto] Yocto for NFS/SDN networking product

[Khem Raj]

Kosta

Yocto project is developed by many volunteers and people sponsored by
corporations, all development happens in opensource. The community supports
the project. There are also lot of commercial OS vendors
which use Yocto project to build their products, so you can always go to
them if you are looking for commercial support.

For advantages, it can build a small footprint since it builds bottom up.
So you can really get only needed
packages for your custom image. It will create a source based distribution
for you where you have control over every part of the OSS stack. You can
really tailor your solution to your needs.

It builds in cross-build environment, supports many CPU architectures and
machines

​The community is very welcoming and helpful. You can easily contribute to
the project and fulfil your needs by doing so.

The learning curve might be a bit steeper. but then you do have trainings
available offerred by professionals.

Thanks
