Those already using Ansible can now take advantage of templates to demonstrate configuring Layer 2 connectivity to AWS S3. 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.

Hey folks, I'm curious to hear how folks are managing multicloud networking setups. 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

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. 

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. 

We have recently launched a   for accessing your developer settings such as App Management and EMG subscriptions. With the improved UI, you can: Access your developer settings via Equinix portal and discover our product and services using a single unified login. Easily and efficiently manage your Equinix apps and subscriptions (including the ability to search, filter and sort) When logging in, you will be redirected to Equinix Customer Portal where you can sign in using your email login credentials. To access the app dashboard or EMG subscription, use the left navigation and select Developer Settings. There is no impact to existing apps and subscriptions and your integration will continue to work.    

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. To avoid this error and continue with the plan, either disable lifecycle.prevent_destroy or reduce the scope of the plan using the -target flag.Field in XRD for plan is: "plan: m3.small.x86"Environment:Crossplane v1.16Equinix Provider: v0.6.1K8s: Kind 1.27

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?
