I wonder what happened to Openflow’s promise. After lumen shutdown, I felt this whole sdn white box switch momentum has gone down. Industry went to next shiny object and k8s made the virtual networking openflow agnostic
OpenFlow itself did not gain much traction after the initial hype. I remember all the noise around it in the context of OpenStack, and that was around 8 years ago. Dutt's book has some good points, and some insider perspective, on why it did not meet its stated goals.

Yup 🤣 . I was one of those early birds who did ONF certified SDN associate exam based on openflow 1.5 . Good old memories eh !
Oh yes. There was so much craze around ONF and related efforts back then.
