About
 | 
						|
#####
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
VyOS is an open source network operating system based on Debian GNU/Linux.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
VyOS provides a free routing platform that competes directly with other
 | 
						|
commercially available solutions from well known network providers. Because
 | 
						|
VyOS is run on standard amd64, i586 and ARM systems, it is able to be used
 | 
						|
as a router and firewall platform for cloud deployments.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
We use multiple live versions of our manual hosted thankfully by
 | 
						|
https://readthedocs.org. We will provide one version of the manual for every
 | 
						|
VyOS major version starting with VyOS 1.2 which will receive Long-term support
 | 
						|
(LTS).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The manual version is selected/specified by it's Git branch name. You can
 | 
						|
switch between versions of the documentation by selecting the appropriate
 | 
						|
branch on the bottom left corner.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
VyOS CLI syntax may change between major (and sometimes minor) versions. Please
 | 
						|
always refer to the documentation matching your current, running installation.
 | 
						|
If a change in the CLI is required, VyOS will ship a so called migration script
 | 
						|
which will take care of adjusting the synatax. No action needs to be taken by
 | 
						|
you.
