What certifications do you recommend to those just getting started?
Hey Community, I thought it might interesting to see what certifications everyone has or is interested in getting. Also, what is your favorite resource to use for study? There are a bunch out there from the various vendors so I'm curious to see everyone's thoughts. Hopefully those getting started can use the information in this thread as a head start."What Is" Series
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-nvmeNew Fabric APIs expand usablity
Connect Using Service Token - Equinix APIs use OAuth 2.0 protocol to authenticate the requests you make to API endpoints. In order to interact with Equinix APIs, you need a bearer acess token. Bearer determines the type of authentication scheme and is a part of the OAuth 2.0 protocol. https://developer.equinix.com/docs
Permissons Issue
I recevved the above error while trying to add a workvisit request. I'm doing some integration testing and trying to perform some negative tests so my software is able to report failures accurately. The error in itself is not really very informative so if anyone else who has seen this knows the cause I'd love to know! { "errors": [ { "code": "EQX-161-403", "message": "Insufficient permission to access the resource or invoke the request." } ], "ticketId": "190806075245093" }Why do you use Equinix Metal?
