Will we get VIRL 2.0 by then?

It is very quite regarding VIRL 2.0 since Cisco Live in Barcelona...

I hope that is a good sign and the guys are working ******* the release.

I thought they would release it at Cisco Live.   I doubt it is coming any time soon. 

I'll keep my fingers crossed!

I was promised it last October or November by the VIRL manager.  He was new to the position.  He said a new configuration and design. 

I did get a quick first look to the new web interface at Cisco Live Barcelona in January and I like the look and feel. I also registered as an earlier "beta" user, but didn't hear anything since then.

I talked to the new head of VIRL last year.  He made me promises.  He delivered the hype and gimmick Cisco is known for.   So far Vaporware.  I have an HP DL 360 Gen8 server with 16 cores, 80 GB of RAM, and 5 gigabit NICs ready to test it.   I could give it even more hardware.  He said it would be amazing on my rig.   I offered to beta test it for them.  I have 50+ simulations with 20 devices ready for them.   I have IPv4 and IPv6 configured at my house for VIRL.  That was 6 months ago.  All we have is vaporware.

Demos don't impress me.   It should have been rolled out by the show.   I would say major bugs and it doesn't deliver, since not showcased.  

Delay is not do to technical issues or bugs but issues in what I call the "inversion layer" . . . IE management.

Edit: fix a typo

Diversion layer is Cisco Management.

Cisco takes virtual to a whole new level with Cisco Virtual Lab.  It is full of hype and gimmick.  I am pretty much done with Cisco.  They are not interested in innovation just flatulation. 

thanks

Is there any news regirding 2.0 VIRL at this moment, when will it come. and more specifically: will it run on AWS / AZURE cloud enviorements.

Thanks

Frankly, I want to see if Cisco redesigns the CCNP program like a University Bachelors program.  You get certain books.  The VIRL has live IOS for every Router and Switch.  We read the books.  Do the course work on each topic.   The tests are validated to be in the books and on VIRL.  If not, no reason to get VIRL ever again.  VIRL is a tool to get our certifications.  That is it.   We are not a company that needs to simulate our designs in VIRL.  In my data center I design on paper and install the routers and switches from that.   The new CCNP comes out next year.
