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?

Interested in a free trial of Equinix Internet Access? Here's a step-by-step guide on how to order with a Fabric port.  You can find additional resources on Product Documentation and Product Readiness.Product Documentation – https://docs.equinix.comProduct Readiness – https://readiness.equinix.com

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. As of the latest release, v0.15.0, metal-go has gained support for: tags on projects, SSH keys, and virtual networks specifying storage configuration when creating a new device logging Sunset & Deprecation headers for backwards compatibility with packngo (especially important in light of the upcoming deprecation of facilities) filtering projects by name when loading all projects for a user or organization using the name query parameter searching devices by hostname, description, short_id, reservation short_id, tags, plan name, plan slug, facility code, facility name, operating system name, operating system slug, or IP addresses using the search query parameter For a full list of the changes that have landed in metal-go since v0.9.0, check out the the metal-go releases page on GitHub.

What is Geo-Redundancy and what are the benefits associated with this solution?

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.

How can I connect to public cloud providers using Equinix?

How do digital services help address organization's challenges surrounding mergers, acquisitions and divestitures?

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
