Billing v2 API deprecation?
Hello, today I noticed that on the API documentation overview page it says that the Billing_v2 API is Deprecated. I can't find any further information on that and also noticed that, in contrast to the WorkVists_v1 API which is marked in the same way, no deprecation information can be found on the actual documentation page. Would you be able to provide some more information on the deprecation or links to where I can find it? I'm especially interested in whether this API is actually going to be disabled in the future and if there's any alternative to obtain invoice information programmatically and machine-readable. Thanks, JonasUnderstanding Sustainable Energy in the Digital Age

Issues deploying Equinix Connections
I have managed to use several terraform modules without problem. I have used the palo alto cloudgenix vm modules, palo alto firewalls modules, device link modules, and fabric cloud router module. All work okay on the lastest version of equinix/equinix. However as I dive into other connections I get a lot version issues. For example. Leveraging the cloud-router-port connection. https://registry.terraform.io/modules/equinix/fabric/equinix/latest/examples/cloud-router-2-port-connection This would be used to connect the cloud router to the pa firewall mgmt interface. Documentation covers the following version. required_providers { equinix = { source = "equinix/equinix" version = ">= 2.9.0" } } } But code doesnt work without this version terraform { required_providers { equinix = { source = "equinix/equinix" version = "~> 1.26.0" } } } When using new versions error occurs. Failure.

Does it exist?
I scavenged the terraform registry looking for a Equinix Internet Access Terraform module. ] I found an example of a connection to EIA.This is the only thing that comes up in the registry as EIA. https://github.com/equinix/terraform-equinix-fabric/tree/v0.22.0/examples/virtual-device-2-eia-connection But none that creates the EIA itself. Can anyone answer if this may or may not be supported in terraform and if so, what would the resource name be for it? The GUI terminology doesn't always translate one for one, so maybe I'm missing something.Tell a Story About Your First Data Center Migration.
