Hello! We've put together a brief introduction to the community here at Equinix. This video examines some of the features of this community, including how best to use the Discussions and Ideas boards. We'll take a look at some of the other features in a future video. If there's anything you'd like us to cover in a video, leave a comment below! 

As of now, Groups are managed by the Equinix Community team. In order to request a new Group, please navigate to Ideas and post a new idea there. All new Group ideas will be reviewed by a Community Team member and you will hear back soon.

Groups are divided into three categories -- public, private, and hidden. Public Groups can be joined and read by any user regardless of role, rank, or sign-in status. Private Groups can only be read by members of the Group. To join a private Group, click on the Group and select the button to request membership. Membership is controlled by the Group's moderator. Hidden Groups can only be read and accessed by members of the Group, who are manually managed by the Group's administrator. In all cases, posting content to a Group is contingent upon being a member of that Group.

Groups are a new tool here on the Equinix Community. Groups contain targeted discussions about a particular topic or subject. In order to join a Group, you must first determine if the group is public, private, or hidden. To join a public Group, such as the Accessibility Improvements Group, click on the group and click the "Join Group" button. To join a private Group, click on the Group with the "closed" designation, and click the "Send Request to Join" button. If you are aware of a hidden Group, you must contact the Group's owner or a Community administrator to be added manually. In any of the Group types, you must be a member in order to post to that Group.

Hello,I'd like to configure a redundant connection to Azure using dot1q encapsulation.The documentation for migration from v3 to v4 states that we need to include  "linkProtocol": { "type": "QINQ", "vlanSTag": 2002 }, in the zSide definition. That was not necessary in the v3 API.I'm not sure what the technical background for that value is.Specifically: Can we always use the same VLAN ID in connections to different Azure environments when using unique VLAN IDs on the aSide?Any help is appreciated.

is there link or session explain fundamental or deep dive of Equinix products for example fabric cloud router or metal and network edge.when to use either of these products and their use cases 

I have created a Claim that includes a Device, Port, PortVlanAttachment and a Vlan. In order to create the Port I have to pass the Device Eth1 port UUID to the 'spec.forProvider.portId' of the Port Kind. This works and picks up the vlan info, but upon deleting the claim, the port is not deleted automatically as expected. The following event messages can be seen: Conflicting configuration arguments: "vlan_ids": conflicts with vxlan_ids Warning CannotObserveExternalResource 8s (x10 over 6m27s) managed/metal.equinix.jet.crossplane.io/v1alpha1, kind=port cannot run refresh: refresh failed: Conflicting configuration arguments: "vlan_ids": conflicts with vxlan_ids Conflicting configuration arguments: "vxlan_ids": conflicts with vlan_ids The spec of the object looks like this:  Spec: Deletion Policy: Delete For Provider: Bonded: false Port Id: b561e487-fbb0-4a2c-98e7-22da331ed316 Vlan Ids: 73f648b5-9b6b-4076-a6ab-673aa45c7152 Vxlan Ids:

When editing an existing Metal Vlan resource's spec to add a description, the string is applied to the managed resource but is not updated in the UI. If the description is included in the original Vlan resource spec during creation, the UI shows the description. apiVersion: metal.equinix.jet.crossplane.io/v1alpha1 kind: Vlan metadata: name: myvlan1 spec: forProvider: description: | Dummy native VLAN for purposes of enabling tagging on the trunk port. projectId: <uuid> metro: svIf the spec.forProvider.description is left out during the creation, then editing the resource and applying the change will not cause the description to show up in the UI. I'm not sure if this is expected or not.

After I spin up a Metal Device using the Crossplane Equinix provider, it comes up but in the events I see the following. I'm not sure if it is expected or a bug?Managed resource event message:Events:Type Reason Age From Message---- ------ ---- ---- -------Normal CreatedExternalResource 3m7s managed/metal.equinix.jet.crossplane.io/v1alpha1, kind=device Successfully requested creation of external resourceWarning CannotObserveExternalResource 13s (x6 over 30s) managed/metal.equinix.jet.crossplane.io/v1alpha1, kind=device cannot run plan: plan failed: Instance cannot be destroyed: Resource equinix_metal_device.my-gateway-sv-4x2x4-4gfpq has lifecycle.prevent_destroy set, but the plan calls for this resource to be destroyed.

I’m having some trouble using the Equinix providers within a Claim and I’m not sure where the problem lies. The issue is that I am trying to take the ID uuid from the Device status.atProvider.id and update a status.id field in my xrd claim, but the status never seems to get updated. This works fine with the AWS provider as an example.In my example I want to grab the UUID of the device and populate the Claim XRD's status.id field, but I do not see this population happening. I use the same technique with the upbound AWS provider so I know it is valid.Within the composition.yaml: - type: ToCompositeFieldPath  fromFieldPath: status.atProvider.id  toFieldPath: status.id Has anyone else gotten this to work?

Tune in on June 20th as I’m joined by Kenneth Chau, Chief Technology Officer at PAO Bank, to discuss the common pitfalls and best practices surrounding the emerging use of multicloud solutions. Many multicloud implementations fall short in their aim to take advantage of the special capabilities cloud services offer, instead resulting in a poor user experience or suboptimal application performance. In our talk, we’ll cover three prevalent hurdles and how to overcome them gracefully: Improving user experiences with cloud-adjacent networking solutions Building a highly adaptable multicloud network Optimizing multicloud cost and available OPEX-based models Key takeaways for attending this webinar include: Why multicloud is the new norm ☁️☁️☁️ How you can navigate the sources of complexity in your multicloud networking 🕵️‍ The common challenges organizations face when deploying a multicloud architecture and the benefits of multicloud networking 🚩 How you can unlock the full potential o

When running Terraform to provision and manage Equinix Fabric, Metal, and Network Edge, you may want to run Terraform from a restricted environment. Network filtering ACLs will need a predictable set of IP ranges to permit. This discussion will help you discover the IP services, ports, and address ranges your Terraform runner environment will need access to. We'll also discuss alternative ways to run Terraform configuration. If your ACLs permit the Terraform runner environment outbound HTTPS (TCP 443) and responses, that would cover everything Terraform needs to start provisioning infrastructure on Equinix. We'll assume we don't have unrestricted access and dig in a little further. Upon running, `terraform init`, Terraform will attempt to use DNS (UDP/TCP 53) services and HTTPS services to download provider plugins, such as the Equinix Terraform provider.  The default host for fetching these plugins is registry.terraform.io, managed by Hashicorp. This is the defacto hub for public

I am also looking for TV exchange centers in Europe and the World. I know that a lot of such company in Amsterdam Frankfurt and London but also need specific locations.

We cant able to apply the router filter policies(RFP) when the Peerings are down on FCR. By the time we apply the Filter policies, all routes learnt from peers are advertised to the other peers resulting in downtime due to loop(unwanted routing). Even if we are quick enough to apply the policies, Fabric backend can only able to process one Filter policy at a time. If you try to apply/save the other policies it gives you an error as FCR is in Transient state. As a best practice we need to have Filter policies enabled first and then turn on the BGP peering to avoid loops/sub optimal routing.

Guess what? We're freaking out (in the best way!) because the Traceroute Podcast just got nominated for a Webby Award in the Tech category! That's right, we're apparently one of the top 5 tech podcasts in the WORLD – which is pretty wild considering there were over 13,000 projects entered!  So, can you help us win this thing? It only takes 2 minutes to cast your vote here by Thursday, April 18th. Every vote counts! ️ 

How do you find your Account Manager on the Portal?Whats the procedure for moving a cross connect from one of our racks to the other?I know how I would do it. I don't want to set a date for it as thats what the portal wants me to do and I am not ready for that yet. Answers on a post card please or a phone call if possible.
