Aviz Networks launched the Aviz Certified SONiC Professional certification, establishing a vendor certification for SONiC skills; enterprise IT leaders should note its role in formalizing operator and developer competency for open-source NOS deployments.

Product update

Aviz Networks announced the Aviz Certified SONiC Professional (ACSP) certification aimed at network engineers, SONiC developers, testers and professionals moving into SONiC roles.

The vendor presents the program as covering architecture, core infrastructure, platform operations, Layer 2 and Layer 3 topics, and debugging and troubleshooting.

Technical breakdown

The ACSP scope includes SONiC architecture, core and infrastructure components, platform elements, Layer 2 and Layer 3 functions, and use of the SONiC Command-Line Interface (CLI).

The blog recommends the SONiC CLI reference and the community-maintained architecture guide and links on that page for detailed study material.

Operational impact

The certification is presented as a formal credential for staffing and role changes tied to SONiC deployments.

Because the exam is delivered online, candidates can take it remotely at any time, which may simplify scheduling for employers and individuals.

Preparation and exam details

The exam is one hour long, comprises 50 multiple-choice questions across difficulty levels, and uses no negative marking.

Recommended preparation channels named in the blog include community forums, YouTube content, third-party bootcamps and Aviz-organized virtual and in-person bootcamps, plus foundational routing, switching and Layer 4 training to supplement SONiC-specific study.

Community and delivery

Aviz directs candidates to its certification page for registration and lists its YouTube and LinkedIn channels for events, bootcamp schedules and updates.

This “Blog Signals brief” is a fact-based summary of the vendor blog.
