Cluster-API-Provider-Packet v0.7.0 Release
Version 0.7.0 of cluster-api-provider-packet, introduces metro level support vs facility level in accordance with the soon-to-be updated Metal API. Users ofprevious versions will want to take advantage of this immediately. The basic requirements to upgrade your existing clusters can be found here. Please work with your Equinix support team to determine the best migration path for your architecture. Assistance can also be found in theCommunity Slack andCommunity site. Read more at our Metros Quick Reference and see the facility deprecation announcement. *Please note that if devices are already in the correct metros you’ve specified, no disruption will happen to clusters or their devices. As with any production change, test your changes before applying them to clusters in production. In addition to metro-level support, this release installs the latestcloud-provider-equinix-metal v3.6.1 by default and is built on golang version 1.19 and cluster-api 1.3. The default OS used is Ubuntu 20.04 and kube-vip is updated to v0.5.12 in the kube-vip flavor templates. Lastly, the CI workflow has been refactored with caching removed and updated tests considering cluster-api 1.3 dependencies.

stevemarturned me onto Equinix's "What is?" series where each article explores a new technology or topic. For example, you may know what iPXE is but did you know that Equinix actually boots up iPXE for every supported operating system of ours? There's a lot to learn, so give these a read. I'll add some of them below: What is an API https://deploy.equinix.com/developers/guides/what-is-api What is Colocation https://deploy.equinix.com/developers/guides/what-is-colocation What is iPXE https://deploy.equinix.com/developers/guides/what-is-ipxe/ What is Kubernetes https://deploy.equinix.com/developers/guides/what-is-kubernetes What is NVMe https://deploy.equinix.com/developers/guides/what-is-nvmeWhat's the difference between Playground, Sandbox, and Production?
You might be deploying on Network Edgetoday to run through Charles_Randall's tutorial. While reading up on Network Edge atDeveloper Platform, then perhaps you're thinking "what's the difference between Playground, Sandbox, and Production?". In short: Playground is a test environment to test Equinix APIs, using static data without integrating within the actual API. Sandbox is a mock test environmentto test Equinix APIs, using synthetic data (not production data)to integrate with Equinix APIs before moving to Production. Production is the live environment.Why do you use Equinix Metal? Why should someone consider using Equinix Metal?

when I am trying below command from my server curl -v https://api.equinix.com its giving below error error:0A000438:SSL routines::tlsv1 alert internal error It was working fine earlier. I am using below APIs for validating Azure Key https://api.equinix.com/fabric/v4/connections/validate But now even authentication API is also not workingCreate Virtual Devices Using Equinix APIs
You can create Virtual Devices using Equinix APIs. Many vendors, including Cisco, Fortinet, Palo Alto Networks, and others, offer firewalls and routers on our platform. Check out our use cases to understand the required steps and the set of APIs you need to create Clusters, SD-WANs, and other Self-Configured devices: https://developer.equinix.com/dev-docs/ne/getting-started/launch-cluster-device https://developer.equinix.com/dev-docs/ne/getting-started/launch-sdwan-device https://developer.equinix.com/dev-docs/ne/getting-started/launch-self-configured-device You could take advantage of the Postman collection listed on the above pages to get the payload to create any device type.
