Cumulus Networks
Cumulus Networks was a computer networking company founded in 2010 that developed Cumulus Linux, an open Linux-based network operating system for bare-metal and white-box data-center switches, along with NetQ, a network operations and telemetry platform. It was a pioneer of open, disaggregated networking, letting operators run a standard Linux distribution on commodity switching hardware. NVIDIA acquired Cumulus Networks in May 2020, and the products are now part of NVIDIA's Ethernet switching and networking software line. The former cumulusnetworks.com and docs.cumulusnetworks.com domains now redirect to NVIDIA's networking documentation. Surfaced as a portfolio company of a16z, Battery Ventures, and Wing Venture Capital.
Index entry only — little beyond a description and a link, and nothing machine-readable enough for an agent to act on without a human reading the site first.
API Evangelist profiles Cumulus Networks the way a machine reads it — 1 machine-readable artifact, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.
Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Cumulus Networks scores 9.2/100 (minimal), with a separate agent-readiness read of 0/100 (human only). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.
Kin Score
This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile Cumulus Networks
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Cumulus Networks. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.
Security Posture 1
Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.
