You can also follow the prerequisites in the related GitHub repo to test this as a new user.Step 1: Use the initial template to rapidly create a project, VLAN, VRF, and prep for BGP peering on the virtual circuit.Step 2: Finish setting up the interconnection in Fabric console manually and accept the Direct Connect request in AWS.Step 3: Use the final playbook which takes care of deploying the VPC, the S3 VPC endpoint, the Virtual Private Gateway attached to your Direct Connect, and finally configures the end to end BGP peering.This playbook has been added to the examples section of the Ansible Collection Equinix page.

In today's digital landscape, millions of terabytes of data are generated daily, all of which must be stored somewhere. But did you know that this data is also subject to the laws of the country where it's stored? This concept is known as data sovereignty. In this video, let’s learn about data sovereignty, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the EU and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) in the U.S, and how Equinix, with its extensive network of data centers across over 70 major metros, helps companies meet these regulatory requirements effortlessly.
