Could our mistakes be as important to technological development as our ideas?
No matter the layers in your stack there’s one inevitability about all of our systems: errors. Misunderstandings, miscalculations, and mishaps are so much a part of the human experience, they can’t help but get baked into the increasingly complex socio-technical systems that we create. Historically we’ve always aimed to reduce our bug counts or have fewer incidents, but what if we instead, thought of these errors as opportunities to better refine our understandings of how our systems interact with the world around them? Maybe, in fact, our mistakes are at least as important to technological development as our innovative ideas? In this fascinating episode of Traceroute, we start back in 1968, when “The Mother of All Demos” was supposed to change the face of personal computing…before the errors started. We’re then joined by Andrew Clay Shafer, a DevOps pioneer who has seen the evolution of “errors” to “incidents” through practices like Scrum, Agile, and Chaos Engineering. We also speak with Courtney Nash, a Cognitive Neuroscientist and Researcher whose Verica Open Incident Directory (VOID) has changed the way we look at incident reporting.CrayZeigh12 months agoEquinix Employee5KViews2likes1CommentError During Token Creation

Connect Using Service Token - Equinix APIs use OAuth 2.0 protocol to authenticate the requests you make to API endpoints. In order to interact with Equinix APIs, you need a bearer acess token. Bearer determines the type of authentication scheme and is a part of the OAuth 2.0 protocol. https://developer.equinix.com/docscapt-kate12 months agoEquinix Employee6.5KViews1like1Comment- 7KViews0likes1Comment
Azure ExpressRoute VLAN Configuration
It has been some time since I built an ExpressRoute within the Equinix Fabric. Our topology is using Fabric Ports (not Virtual Devices). We have a primary and secondary port. We have built the ExpressRoute in Azure as well as the ExpressRoute VC in Equinix but are having trouble getting end-to-end connectivity. In the overview page of the ExpressRoute connection in the Equinix Fabric, there is an Origin VLAN and Destination VLAN. The Origin VLAN tags are different (Primary is 4025 and Secondary is 4026) but the Destination VLAN tag is the same (37 in this case). Where do we configure those? In the ExpressRoute Private Peering in Azure, we can only enter a single VLAN tag. Do we configure 4025/4026 on our routers and 37 in Azure, visa versa, or do we configure the same on both? The KB articles and videos do not cover this.4.3KViews1like1CommentDid you catch our community live stream?

A recent deployment by one of our partners, Travelping, demonstrates an interesting use case for solving a cellular carrier issue using edge infrastructure capabilities from Equinix. The Problem? The carrier’s network, while global, was not set up to remove some of the multi-access complexity which then impacted latency, or meet all the data localization requirements for connected vehicle regulations. The Solution? Travelping’s solution was to deploy the PDN Gateway functionality virtually in an Equinix data center in Korea using Equinix Metal, the bare metal cloud service that provides automated dedicated compute infrastructure on demand globally.
