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

On the latest episode of Traceroute, we look at how climate change is forcing the island nation of Tuvalu to rethink what it means to be a state.For the island nation of Tuvalu, the effects of climate change are more than a warning; they’re an eviction notice. Estimates vary as to when the small chain of coral islands could vanish beneath the waves, but experts agree that Tuvalu may be uninhabitable long before then, prompting its people to set sail for a new frontier… The metaverse. Within this digital landscape, Tuvalu could potentially preserve its lands, heritage, and governance, effectively pioneering a new model for nationhood, in which a nation and its people exist in two realms—physical and virtual. But how does one go from sand to silicon while maintaining the essence of a culture? And what is the real-world environmental impact of storing a nation’s worth of data? Whether we take Tuvalu’s proposal literally or view it as a symbolic call to action, unpacking the logistics of s

We were promised flying cars. We were told that by the year 2000, cities would float in the clouds, robots would cut our hair, and there’d be a computer in everyone’s pocket. Well, one out of three ain’t bad.The question is, why? Why did we think the future would bring interstate moving sidewalks, but we ended up with the internet instead? In this episode of Traceroute, we take an in-depth look at why we get the technology we get…and our trail leads to three distinct factors. Helping us unravel the reason behind these factors is Mike Winterfield, Founder of Active Impact Investments, a VC firm that specializes in Green Tech. We also talk with Oliver Walker-Jones of Joby Aviation, one of several companies that are finally making flying cars, who shares his insight as to why it took almost a hundred years to get from the idea of the flying car to the reality of one. 

I note that NixOS was recently retired from the list of supported operating systems. What was the reason for dropping NixOS? I'm curious as to whether there are technical limitations that make the OS harder to support on the Metal platform.

Stick around as we explore how tech both creates and disrupts our groove, and whether the secret sauce of in-person jams can really translate to the digital world. In this episode of Traceroute, we delve into a quest for the perfect tool to help bridge the physical and digital divides that increasingly appear between musicians like John and Arman. From California’s Bay Area to the buzzing streets of Hong Kong, we find a host of technologists who, spurred on by the impacts of a global pandemic, are already hard at work tackling the kind of low-latency global networking solutions that just might be the key to keeping the band in one semi-remote piece. But within this particular stack, there lies an even bigger conundrum. Because even if we somehow manifest the right tool for the job, is the magic of this so-called “vibe” even replicable? Or is there another solution altogether?Part 2 - The Synchrony Paradox  In part one of our story, we sourced the perfect tool for jamming together from

How do we make technology that lasts? In this episode, Grace Ewura-Esi and Shweta Saraf join Producer John Taylor as he talks with two cutting-edge technologists who are trying to extend the life of the hardware infrastructure around us. From a cell phone tower that can be installed on your roof (and repaired just as easily), to a clock that is built to last ten thousand years, we uncover the common threads that run through technology that’s built to last.Woven in this framework is the story of Sandra Rodriguez, who worked tirelessly to restore civilization—as well as hope itself—to the island of Puerto Rico with the help of the only piece of hardware infrastructure that withstood the powerful forces of Hurricane Maria in 2017. Let us know your thoughts below! 

How far does large language modeling need to go before we consider marrying an AI?In part 2 of our 3-part series on our relationship with AI, we explore how Large Language Models can be shaped to mimic the qualities of a human personality, and the implications that come with it.We are joined again by James Vlahos of Embodied, who sheds insight on why creating personas with AI and LLMs is like directing actors in a play, but a play that does not involve thinking or motivation the way we believe it to mean.The question is, however, if your chatbot can sound like a person, does that mean it can be a fulfilling substitute for the people in your life? Or do we need to recognize that a product is a product, regardless of its ability to convince you it’s not? 

Hi, I want to create a a Quick Connect using API. Is it supported?

Since the dawn of the Industrial Revolution, people have humanized technology. We name our cars, or we talk to our phone batteries and beg them not to die on us. However, perhaps no other technology has triggered our emotions quite as intensely as AI. The truth is, we interact with AI in a way we don’t with any other tech: a way that’s more immediate, more personal…more human.The question is, why do we feel this way? In fact, why do we have feelings at all about AI?In this Traceroute two-parter, we go to couples counseling with AI and take a deeper look at this unique relationship. In part one, we explore the good side of our feelings. We talk with JD Ambati of EverestLabs, a company using AI to reduce thousands of tons of CO2e emissions, and we meet James Vlahos, the scientist giving voice to “Moxie,” an AI robot that teaches kids how to express their feelings and have deeper emotional connections. If AI can indeed solve problems and create emotional bonds, surely it would never try t
