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, Jonas

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-connectionThis 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 versionterraform {  required_providers {    equinix = {      source  = "equinix/equinix"      version = "~> 1.26.0"    }  }}When using new versions error occurs. F

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-connectionBut 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.

Hey Community! We often get questions about Fabric Cloud Router and we’re here to help clarify for others who might have the same question in the future. If you’ve got additional questions about FCR, ask them in Community!What is a Digital Services Agreement (DSA)? The Digital Services Agreement is a document that is presented to users when setting up a Billing Account to order digital services like Fabric Cloud Router. If this is your first time ordering digital services with Equinix and you do not have an existing Billing Account (or sometimes called a Cloud Billing Account), you’ll be directed to digitally sign the DSA.If you're creating additional Billing Accounts, you will be asked whether you want to use an existing Digital Services Agreement or sign a new Digital Services Agreement. If you need guidance on either DSA option, please review this documentation.[Example only for reference and may not reflect latest version of DSA]  I’m a new customer; do I need to sign a Fabric DSA?
