Thank you so much for explaining this concept so simplified! Now I know the parts of SDN and learn them. I love your content! Be well, be safe and Cheers!
More confused here. Okay, so is SDN just a GUI to talk to hardware networking devices (switches, routers, etc) and those hardware supports that communication from software (how? eg. it replaces me from using the terminal directly to that device?). Or is the SDN controller on a server that intercepts all traffic and routes it? So, hardware not as underlay as it sounds. SDN just a waterdown way of interacting with hardware in a more generic, less command-specific way?
One thing I can point out is that software-defined networking and SD-WAN solutions have a high vendor lock-in risk. You have to pick a vendor for all your networking equipment and it is not interoperable with other vendors. If you go with VMware you need all VMware stuff. If you go with Cisco you need all Cisco networking gear.

The video was pretty much on point to your questions.
Thank you so much for this, really
thank you! very helpful!

He literally just said that you can use different types of vendors. Wrong!
