With so many tools and vendors in the space I'm eager to hear what everyone is using to connect between different cloud environments. What vendors or solutions are you using to manage multicloud networking? (e.g., Equinix, Megaport, Aviatrix, Cisco, etc.) Are you using Layer 3 or 4 networking for your interconnections? Which cloud providers or service providers are you connecting to? What’s your primary use case for these connections? (access to specific cloud services, redundancy, cost optimization, etc.) Feel free to share any challenges you've faced too! 

Those looking to explore Nutanix on Equinix Metal are likely to have two concerns in mind: ease of migration and security.Thankfully, two examples have recently been added to the Equinix Terraform directory that demonstrate exactly how a user can accomplish these two things.Nutanix Clusters Setup and Protection Policy - walks a user through creating two Nutanix Clusters on Equinix Metal rapidly, create a protection policy between them, and then practice creating a VM in one cluster and migrating it to the other cluster. Nutanix on Equinix Metal with Active Directory Authentication - helps a user create a cluster on Equinix, add an AD server VM, configure AD authentication, and map a few sample roles to the AD. Both examples use a combination of Terraform and manual Prism console steps, promoting understanding while deploying with speed and convenience.  Consider walking through these examples if you're interested in exploring Nutanix on Equinix Metal or learning more about ma

Managing network connections for an application used to be relatively straight forward. Applications were written and run as monoliths and didn’t need internal connectivity to integrate their constituent parts. And there weren't a whole lot of resources they needed to connect to externally. Read the full Blog Here!

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! 

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. 

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.

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:
