What are some examples of applications that are commonly deployed across multiple cloud providers?  Is this generally done to improve resiliency for the application or are there other reasons (e.g., performance improvements) to use this design?

In this video, well Service Profile association for Equinix Fabric has been moved to the project level. In this video we'll show you how to add User permissions for different Fabric Service Profiles and you'll see how easy it is to shift between Projects while in the Fabric Portal.To get started, head to "My Company," and then, "Service Profiles" after logging into the Fabric portal: https://fabric.equinix.com/  

How do you decide which parts of a system to test with chaos engineering? How do you measure success when straining a system? I'm interested to hear your thoughts!

We're always looking for ways to improve the value our products provide and the user experience.  What is your #1 challenge when using Equinix Fabric?

Hello everyone,I'm working with Yahoo on a project that involves monitoring power data for a large number of PDUs—more than 1000—every hour. We've hit a snag, though. The API we're using has a daily limit of 1000 calls.Here's the current API we're using: curl -s -X GET "https://api.equinix.com/power/v1/current?accountNo=${EQUINIX_ACCOUNT_NUMBER}&ibx=${EQUINIX_IBX}&levelType=CIRCUIT&levelValue=${LEVELVALUE}" I've tried adding multiple values to "levelValue," but it's not working as expected.The challenge is that we have to check so many PDUs every hour that making a single call per PDU isn't practical. If we go that route, we'll hit the API limit in just one hour.I found an alternative approach on the forum:   curl -s -X POST "https://api.equinix.com/power/v1/current" -H "content-type: application/json" -H "Authorization: Bearer ${1}" -d '{ "accountNo": "'${2}'", "ibx": "'${3}'", "levelType": "circuit" }' This method provides data for all PDUs in a single response.

Helo,We are trying to automate creating work visit requests in Equinox portal using rest API's.Following the documentation , i was able to generate client creds etc and use to generate bearer token.when i used the same to submit a work visit request, i get invalid token used error.Anyone faced this ??? Any recommendations ??Thanks in Advance

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/docs

How can we get the correct Final A-Side System Name using the API as displayed in the Install Base Download for Metro-connects or inter-IBX cross-connects? This is what we see when getting the asset details with the API https://api.equinix.com/v1/assets/ { "key": "SYSTEM_NAME", "value": "CH2:02155:EQUINIX", "tag": "A_SIDE_INFORMATION" } But when we download the Install Base we see that information displayed as the Legacy System Name in the Cross-connect Z-side report.Final A-side System Name: CH1:05:XXXXXX:Some Other Broadband Legacy System Name: CH2:02155:EQUINIX

How is usage billing calculated for Equinix Connect?

You might be deploying on Network Edge today to run through @Charles_Randall's tutorial. While reading up on Network Edge at Developer 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 environment to test Equinix APIs, using synthetic data (not production data) to integrate with Equinix APIs before moving to Production. Production is the live environment.

Today we announced our intention to build a fourth data center in India. The addition of MB4 will expand Equinix's digital infrastructure capacity in India to address the rising demand for data center and interconnection services among businesses.Check out the full press release here  

I'm curious, is Fabric Cloud Router a managed service?

I want to open a support ticket for Network Edge -- how do I do this?

Studies show that technology is progressing at such a rapid pace that up to 85% of the jobs that will be available in 2040 have not been created yet. Will AI, ML, and hardware advancements create a society where careers we take for granted today won’t exist in the future? In the Traceroute Podcast episode 9 “The Kids are Alright”, join me, Grace Ewura-Esi and Amy Tobey as Producer John Taylor puts a personal face on this idea through his 13-year-old daughter, Ella, who wants to be a chef when she grows up. Together, they explore this issue with Executive Chef-turned-Dell Computer Advocate Tim Banks, as well as employment attorney Michael Lotito, whose Emma Coalition seeks solutions to TIDE, the technologically induced displacement of Employment. Between trips to fully-automated restaurants and the latest advancements in 3D food replication, we discover that Gen Z’s humanity may be their biggest asset in tomorrow’s job market.

Did you miss the exiting announcement from our identity team? Identity and Access Management (IAM) has been implemented for Fabric, Network Edge, and Equinix Precision Time (EPT) users in your account. Read the full announcement below:

Using the GET /fabric/v4/connections/{uuid}/stats API call, i now get a 500 internal server error with the following message: [ { "errorCode": "EQ-3033010", "errorMessage": "Internal server error.", "details": "Please check the request payload and submit the request again.", "correlationId": "1028656-0000-105679634794-api", "additionalInfo": [ { "reason": "Internal server error." } ] } ] Nothing has changes in my code that utilizes this endpoint and i get the same issues with Postman.Are there issues or has anything changed with this API endpoint?

Will I need a license when provisioning a device?

I'd be interested to hear if anyone is using the cross connect API and what you experience has been.

A number of features and improvements have landed in metal-go since the v0.9.0 release last month.
