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?

In this video, David Flanagan a.k.a. Rawkode, does a deepdive on the Equinix Terraform CDK. David will discuss the advantages of using Terraform CDK for your Equinix provisioning, emphasizing the benefits of a declarative approach to code. This method allows for reusable snippets across teams, reducing redundant work. We'll demonstrate how to create a function to find the cheapest server configuration and show how this refactored code can be published and shared via various platforms like NPM and PyPy. Thank you for joining this walkthrough on provisioning Equinix Metal devices with Terraform CDK. Be sure to check out the other demo videos in this series. See you next time!   

In this video, David Flanagan, a.k.a. Rawkode, does a deep dive on the Equinix GO SDK. David explores how to leverage webhooks and APIs with the Equinix SDK to build pipelines for remediation, automation, and notifications. We'll demonstrate how to send GET requests, showing the requests made and their results. This approach allows for dynamic capacity checks based on environment variables, integrated seamlessly with your infrastructure. This was a brief yet insightful introduction to the Equinix SDK. Go ahead, experiment with the Equinix SDK, and share your creations with us. Until next time, have a great day!

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

In this video, Chris Privitere from Equinix interviews Jimmy Zelinsky, CPO at AuthZed. AuthZed is the company behind SpiceDB, an open-source graph database optimized for authorization. Jimmy explains that authentication and authorization are the two main steps in accessing an application. Authentication verifies the identity of the user, while authorization checks if the user has the necessary access to perform certain actions. SpiceDB uses relationships between objects to model authorization, allowing users to define access based on relationships. Jimmy mentions that Google implemented similar concepts for Google Plus using a system called Zanzibar. AuthZed implemented SpiceDB based on the concepts from Google's Zanzibar, providing the same capabilities to other companies. They also recently launched a Kubernetes API proxy which allows users to secure the Kubernetes API with SpiceDB. Additionally, AuthZed offers a product called Materialize, which provides a materialized view of the g

Cassandra Chin, a college student from Colorado State University, studying computer science, discusses her book “Phippy's AI Friend” with Steve Martinelli at KubeCon Paris. The book follows the story of Kimani, a non-binary computer who faces struggles in finding their identity. The book also includes a workshop where readers can build a visual recognition model using Scratch. Cassandra has been conducting workshops since the age of 13 and enjoys making technology accessible to everyone. She will be giving a keynote at DevNexus and is also involved with the AI ML working group at CNCF, working on an AI white paper to connect AI and cloud-native development. Cassandra emphasizes the importance of creating educational content for developers to adopt AI in a meaningful way. The book is available on Amazon, with a French version also available. Cassandra’s favorite character in the book is Kimani.

Equinix providers for Terraform and Pulumi benefit from several updates to infrastructure products Network Edge and Fabric.  Specify NE project ID via IAC Providers  While using said IaC providers to create Network Edge resources (Device, DLG, ACL, SSH Public key), the optional field "project ID" can be specified to prevent use of the default project and ensure correct billing. Add a Single, Diverse NE Device via IAC Providers   Previously, it was difficult to simply add a diverse device in a high availability architecture unless users destroyed the current device and chose a dual deployment option. The optional field fixes this by automatically selecting the redundant control plane option for rack and network diversity when adding a single device.  Upgrade Number of Device Cores via IAC Providers  A "core" field has been added to the Update Virtual Device API which
