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?

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

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

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.
