I want to learn to use Equinix APIs where do i start?
Hi, I am not a developer but I am very familiar with Equinix portals (ECX and ECP) and now I'd like to try out your APIs before recommending to my development team to proceed with the integration. Where do I start, any advice?Solved1.9KViews0likes1Comment- 1.9KViews0likes1Comment
[Cloud]Basic question about what I can do with EquinixFabric API.
For example, if I want to use Equinix Fabric to set up and operate AWS, is it possible to use the EquinixFabric API for management within AWS (EC2 startup, life-and-death monitoring, etc.)? Or is it necessary to use APIs provided by AWS? When using multiple Azure and GCP, it is a concern to use the API provided by each. Thank you.1.3KViews0likes0CommentsRead-only user
Apologies if this is a n00b question but I haven't been able to find an answer in the docs so far. Just starting out on the API journey, so for now at least we only need read-only access for our tooling. What is the recommended way to create a read-only user? So far I can only see how to create accounts for humans. Cheers!1.6KViews0likes0CommentsForming a relationship with AI? What do you think?
How far does large language modeling need to go before we consider marrying an#AI? In part 2 of our 3-part series on our relationship with AI, we explore how Large Language Models can be shaped to mimic the qualities of a human personality, and the implications that come with it. We are joined again by James Vlahos of Embodied, who sheds insight on why creating personas with AI and LLMs is like directing actors in a play, but a play that does not involve thinking or motivation the way we believe it to mean. The question is, however, if your chatbot can sound like a person, does that mean it can be a fulfilling substitute for the people in your life? Or do we need to recognize that a product is a product, regardless of its ability to convince you it’s not?GraceA10 months agoEquinix Employee2KViews1like0Comments- tvader10 months agoEquinix Employee2.7KViews0likes1Comment
Building Highly Resilient Networks in Network Edge - Part 3 - EVP-LANs
This is the third part of a series of posts highlighting the best practices for customers who require highly resilient networks in Network Edge. This entry highlights how to build resilient EVP-LAN connections in Network Edge. EVP-LAN is another method to connection Network Edge devices EVP-LANs differ from DLGs in that they connect to Network Edge devicesandFabric ports All EVP-LAN connections go to the Fabric, even for devices in the same metro--this is in contrast to DLGs which can be local or remote. Asof November 2023, multiple NE devices in the same metro can be part of the same EVP-LAN network, removing the previous restriction of a single NE device per metro. Customers that require maximum resiliency should deploy additional EVP-LANs that span boththe Primary and Secondary Fabric networks The same logic applies for EVP-LANs such that they should spread across Primary and Secondary Fabric planes The current maximum bandwidth for all EVP-LAN connections in the same metro is 10GB. This may change in the future. Redundant Devices For proper resiliency, each device in theRedundant Device pair will require a singleconnection to two different EVP-Networks The Primary device on the Primary planewill use the Primary Fabric switch The Secondary device on the Secondaryplane will use the Secondary Fabric switch Clustered Devices Clustered devices are different in that theworkflow allows connections to be built toeither the Primary or Secondary Fabric For proper resiliency, each node in theCluster will require a singleconnection to two different EVP-Networks The next post will cover the best practices for creating resilient Fabric Virtual Connections.

This is the second part of a series of posts highlighting the best practices for customers who require highly resilient networks in Network Edge. This entry highlights how to build resilient Device Link Group (DLG) connections. For more information on Device Link Resiliency please refer to the Equinix docs page here. Device Link Groups are used to connect Network Edge device interfaces to other NetworkEdge device interfaces They can be local (same metro) or remote and are a shared broadcast domain A single DLG, like a single Ethernet cable, provides no resiliency Local DLGs do not traverse the Equinix Fabric and aren’t susceptible to Fabric switch outages Hybrid DLGs have some devices connected to the Primary Fabric plane and other to theSecondary Customers that require maximum resiliency should deploy additional DLGs that connect toboth the Primary and Secondary Fabric networks Redundant Devices can have one or both devices connect to the DLG Clustered devices act as one logical device, therefore the cluster is represented as a singleentity Each device will build connections to the Plane to which it is connected as shown here: Redundant Devicesshow asindividualentities in the DLG workflow Clustered Devicesare represented as a single logical entity, connecting the DLG to the activenode (node 0 is active by default) In October 2023 a new feature was released that allows customers to choose whichFabricplane the DLG is connected to: Primary or Secondary Previously, all connections were made over the Primary Fabric plane by default Customers now have control over the level of resiliency for their DLGs. Single DLGs will haveno resiliency but customers may opt to deploy a 2nd, parallel DLG for connections that arebusiness-critical. The 2nd DLG will incur additional Fabric charges and will consume an additional interface onevery connected Network Edge device We do not see value in creating multiple, local (same metro) DLGs for resiliency, but we do notrestrict customers who want to deploy in this manner Local DLGs do not traverse the Fabric switches and incur no charges today Customers now have the control to deployresiliency with DLGs based on theirrequirements and budget as shown below The next post will cover the best practices for creating resilient EVP-LAN connections.

This is the fourth and final part of a series of posts highlighting the best practices for customers who require highly resilient networks in Network Edge. This entry highlights how to build resilient Fabric Virtual Connections. Virtual connections allow NE devices to connect to CSPs, NSPs and ISPs as well as co-location The same logic still applies: the NE device plane determines which Fabric switch is used The VC connection workflow is very similar to the EVP-LAN workflow with some differences Customers that require VC link resiliency should create two or more VCs to their NE deviceswith each connection traversing the Primary and Secondary fabric switch Some CSPs like Azure require resiliency but most do not The Fabric portal allows connections to be created as redundant or single-legged The workflow is highlighted in the next few slides for both Redundant and Clustered devices Redundant Devices Clustered Devices This concludes a four part series on buildingHighly ResilientNetworks in Equinix Network Edge.

I recently stumbled upon an interesting blog about AI (our top blog for Jan listed below) and it got me thinking about all the amazing (and sometimes concerning) advancements in this field. As someone who has been playing aro und with ChatGPT in my personal life, I understand the power and potential of AI, but also the risks that come with it. For example, there was a recent incident with an AI-generated show that was streaming on Twitch that had to be taken down due to some questionable content. This just highlights the importance of being aware of the potential dangers and ensuring that our AI models are well-trained and trustworthy. That's why I want to start a discussion with all of you about the biggest risks you see with AI. Have you encountered any similar incidents or have any stories to share?

Since the dawn of the Industrial Revolution, people have humanized technology. We name our cars, or we talk to our phone batteries and beg them not to die on us. However, perhaps no other technology has triggered our emotions quite as intensely as AI. The truth is, we interact with AI in a way we don’t with any other tech: a way that’s more immediate, more personal…more human. The question is, why do we feel this way? In fact, why do we have feelings at all about AI? In this Traceroute two-parter, we go to couples counseling with AI and take a deeper look at this unique relationship. In part one, we explore the good side of our feelings. We talk with JD Ambati of EverestLabs, a company using AI to reduce thousands of tons of CO2e emissions, and we meet James Vlahos, the scientist giving voice to “Moxie,” an AI robot that teaches kids how to express their feelings and have deeper emotional connections. If AI can indeed solve problems and create emotional bonds, surely it would never try to do us harm… right?CrayZeigh11 months agoEquinix Employee2.3KViews2likes0CommentsWelcome!

⛔Closing May 5th The May 5th CFP closing date is fast approaching for Demo Day. Submissions and edits to submissions can be made at Equinix Demo Day 2023 Call for Proposals. Whether you've expressed interest, submitted a draft CFP, or already began working on your demo, here are some considerations to make your CFP standout and make your presentations memorable and actionable. 🔨 Nail the theme The event focus is Equinix integration with talks and demos where the code is shown and is user repeatable. Some example scenarios: A product that includes cloud provider integrations giving it the ability to deploy and manage Equinix resources. This may take advantage of public IaC (Infrastructure as Code), Kubernetes controllers, or SDK (Go, Python, Java) tools for Equinix Metal. Prove your project is resilient. Show it. Destroy it. Show how it can be reprovisioned. Can your project be brought back up without careful attention? A user case story or journey is told. How is this story a unique or common experience? How was integration with the platform utilized? What challenges were presented and overcome by this integration? Tell us more about the developer experience. What made Equinix the right choice for this project? What features would have made this smoother? What features made this shine? How did the developer support, the online community, documentation, tools, or platform features provide value to your organization, product, or project. If the product is a managed service or closed source, these examples would help to make the demo more applicable to the event theme: Helper code and documentation (a tool assisted guide or workshop) reproduces the environment and demonstrates applications running on this product integration. A story about the development process of the integration and the lessons learned Additional routes to explore for this event (fitting open source projects well): How does this solution stack up with alternatives in the ecosystem What design and development choices were made for this project How has the community size and adoption changed What are some of the open challenges past or present, how have they been overcome 🧰 Share your Toolbox There are several ways to publish your integration to get early eyes on it and share it with the community. Our first choice for projects like this is GitHub. Consider the following repositories on the Equinix Labs GitHub organization as a place to park your integration or a template for your project: Equinix Workshop - Create a workshop using this template. Once you've customized the project, enable GitHub Pages and the workshop will be publicly hosted and available. Terraform Template - This template bakes in our best practices and is ready-made for publishing an Equinix Terraform module Terraform Equinix Labs - If you want to share your project with other users of Equinix and turn that project into a workshop, take a look here and open a PR adding your project as a sub-module. Terraform Kubernetes Addons - If your project can run in any Kubernetes environment running on Equinix Metal and has Equinix resource requirements, submit your project as an add-on here so others can take advantage of your integration. Do you have another location in mind? Let us know. 🦺 Pass Inspection As the hosts of the event, we believe the value of any particular product can be demonstrated through open integrations. Our particular focus is on the capability to integrate with Equinix in a user demonstrable and reproducible way, along with the capabilities unlocked through those integrations. The review panel will process CFPs with these considerations. Keep in mind, other CFPs will target common user scenarios especially on network Infrastructure and edge compute automation. While event presentations are not in a product competition, for the purposes of the CFP review, there is a competition of compelling stories. The more engaging we believe those stories fit our user and engineering audience, the more they demonstrate the themes of integrations with Equinix in repeatable ways, the better the chance will be for the CFP to be accepted. The best presentations will be ones where the practitioner viewer is compelled to pull down the discussed project and start experimenting with it to deliver their projects. The presentation, including demos or integrations, does not need to be ready at the time the CFP is submitted. A CFP may be tentatively accepted with the recommendation for a different format or criteria for improving the fit. We will be considering alternate presentation formats for CFPs including panels, lightning talks, and workshops. Tentative acceptance communications will start on May 10th with final acceptance communicated on May 12th. 🧱 Build Your Story Once accepted, we want to have the opportunity to field test your work and storytelling in an advocacy stream or a recorded solution demo. The advocacy live stream is the perfect environment for an early, rough-edges, walkthrough. For demo day, we encourage (but do not require) ironed presentation videos to be submitted no later than two weeks ahead of the event. This will help to avoid any on-air mishaps such as a missed step, flakey builds or runs, and network or availability issues. Presentation windows should leave space for discussion during and after. Another format we can explore is to have the recording voiced over live by the presenter with an event host providing real-time feedback. In this case, the sooner pre-recordings can be offered the better. 🏗️ More Opportunities There are more opportunities for collaboration through presentations and demos on Equinix. This includes streams on Equinix Labs Live and recordings targeted at our solution teams. Future events may provide a better audience for talks and demos that we can't fit into this event. 🚧Demo Site The event page for Demo Day 2023 (equinix.com) is up. As the event nears, we'll be reaching out to CFP submitters with more details on preparation and ways to spread the word.

Hide that $METAL_AUTH_TOKEN environment variable! Using the Metal CLI, if you shellmetal env then it returns the environment variables back to you in plain text. Normally that's fine, but what if you're recording a video or giving an expo presentation? How would you submit your auth tokens in the background so that Terraform could see it, but your viewers couldn't? eval $(metal env) With this command, your API token can stay hidden. Normally, you would put the API Key in the terraform.tfvars. But always remember - don't check your API Key into your Github repo! This is such useful command.

We get a lot of questions from customers who aren't familiar with Network Function Virtualization (NFV) and this blog post takes a deeper look at what it is, how it works and how we use it with Network Edge.https://blog.equinix.com/blog/2019/10/17/networking-for-nerds-defining-the-elements-of-nfv-architectures/MasonHarris12 months agoEquinix Product Manager2.3KViews2likes0CommentsWhat's the difference between Playground, Sandbox, and Production?
You might be deploying on Network Edgetoday to run through Charles_Randall's tutorial. While reading up on Network Edge atDeveloper Platform, then perhaps you're thinking "what's the difference between Playground, Sandbox, and Production?". In short: Playground is a test environment to test Equinix APIs, using static data without integrating within the actual API. Sandbox is a mock test environmentto test Equinix APIs, using synthetic data (not production data)to integrate with Equinix APIs before moving to Production. Production is the live environment.4KViews2likes0Comments
