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 w

Hello, I have been attempting to mess with the sandbox and create.The two things I have done (using Postman) are get a token and create a user. I have been putting the Bearer Token in Auth and receive this, with a 500 error: [ { "errorCode": "EQ-2021101", "errorMessage": "The server has encountered an unexpected error. We apologize for the inconvenience. Please try again later.", "correlationId": "230718201317567" } ] Let me know if you need more information, as I am lost on where to go next.

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.

With a new partnership with Arista Networks, Network Edge has added Arista’s CloudEOS Router to provide multi/hybrid-cloud routing capabilities. CloudEOS provides a consistent, secure and universal approach to hybrid cloud networking. Any virtualized cloud deployment can take advantage through advanced network telemetry and secure IPSec VPN connectivity in a software-only package. Use cases for CloudEOS include secure multi-cloud connectivity, interconnecting VPCs/VNets in the public cloud, multi-site VPN aggregation and the time/cost savings of network function virtualization.

How does Network Edge virtual networking work together with physical devices and other digital services at Equinix?

Hi Equinix-team, in the beginning of DC-FR8 a terminal console (monitor, keyboard, mouse) was available in every floor. Now it is really difficult to find one. How is it possible to be sure to get a terminal console when needed. I see that in cage FR8:03:301081 is such a terminal console permanent . Maybe they reserved it for a longer time. Is that possible? Thanks M. Fries

I'm wondering if I can modify the configuration of a Network Edge device after it is deployed.

I see in the EPT June 2023.3 What's New? release readiness notes that Amsterdam is now serving up Precision Time services in Europe.  Are there other Equinix locations that can provide time services? 

The v0.15.0 release of metal-cli begins our migration from the packngo SDK to metal-go. The following subcommands have been updated to use metal-go in this release: init metros operating-systems plan project In addition, all subcommands have gained the --http-header flag, which can be used to add custom HTTP headers to any request that is sent to the Equinix Metal API as part of a metal-cli command execution.

Wondering who manages the device on Network Edge?

With AI being so topical these days I recently started to played around with stable diffusion, via the InvokeAI project (https://invoke-ai.github.io/InvokeAI/) - I'm hoping to write up a blog my experiences but the TL;DR is that InvokeAI is a pretty slick project. I was also playing around with GitHub Action self-hosted runners (https://docs.github.com/en/actions/hosting-your-own-runners/managing-self-hosted-runners/adding-self-hosted-runners) and was pretty impressed by how easy it was to install and use. Anyone else tinkering around with something? I've been meaning to further look into Rust and WebAssembly but haven't found the time to get back into it.

This release of metal-go includes a number of features and improvements to ease the transition from packngo to metal-go. This includes support for include and exclude parameters when creating various Equinix Metal resources, fixed request paths for Metal Gateway API endpoints, and support for the default project ID and default organization ID for individual users.  A number of duplicated models have been consolidated to reduce the need for type conversions when interacting with different API endpoints. In addition, we have added support for the new SOS hostname attribute on devices to reduce reliance on the deprecated facility attribute.This release also includes features that are not available in packngo, such as support for the Invoices API. To learn more, check out the full release notes on GitHub and visit the metal-go page on Equinix Labs.
