Nutanix Examples: Protection Policy with VM Migration & Active Directory Authentication
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 making your infrastructure more reliable and secure.All Things Open 2024
Join Equinix at a technology conference focusing on the tools, processes and people making open source possible. The All Things Open (ATO) 2024 will take place Sunday, October 27 thru Tuesday, October 29. The location will again be the Raleigh Convention Center in downtown Raleigh, NC and the greater Research Triangle Park (RTP) region.Demo Day: The Infrastructure as Code Edition
Demo Day - The Infrastructure as Code Edition is coming to a live stream near you on September 10th! Welcome to the second Demo Day of 2024, a virtual gathering for developers, infrastructure enthusiasts, and professionals alike! In today's rapidly evolving digital landscape, Infrastructure is more vital than ever. As we saw in the infrastructure boom of the pandemic, our digital world is quickly expanding and shows no sign of slowing down.Join us for a few hours of streaming and learn all about the innovative ways you can provision your hardware with code. At Demo Day, we're bringing together leader in the IaC (Infrastructure as Code) space to share their expertise and knowledge. Whether you're a seasoned developer, a curious newcomer, or an industry veteran, there's something here for you. Expert Insights: Gain invaluable insights from our esteemed lineup of speakers, including Jared Watts, Engin Diri, Marino Wijay, and Chris Privitere. They'll share their firsthand experiences, best practices, and visionary ideas to inspire and empower you.New Workshop: Load Balanced Kubernetes Cluster with Cluster API
Did you know that you can take advantage of Equinix Metal Load Balancers while quickly provisioning a Kubernetes cluster? You can try this hands-on in our latest workshop that takes advantage of two Equinix integrations with the Kubernetes API: Cloud Provider Equinix Metal (CPEM) and Cluster API Provider Packet (CAPP). This workshop takes a user step-by-step through gathering configuration details from the Metal Console, setting up the launch environment, and deploying a sample application on the load balanced cluster. You’ll use CAPP to deploy the cluster on Equinix Metal machines, including three control plane nodes and two worker nodes to demonstrate the load balancing functionality. By changing the configuration in CPEM, it is enabled to set up the load balancing service in front of the control plane nodes. Later, the user deploys and verifies nginx as a sample application. This produces a website that can be accessed via an external IP managed by a dynamically provisioned Equinix Metal Load Balancer, which can be reviewed in the Equinix Metal console. Make sure to permanently delete the cluster using the workshop instructions since Cluster API clusters will attempt to repair themselves if servers and load balancers are deleted manually. This workshop is a wonderful way to gain comfort using a diverse set of Kubernetes related tools as well as Equinix load balancing and bare metal.Nutanix Terraform Cluster Provisioning
Come join Equinix's Chris Privitere! Nutanix Terraform Cluster Provisioning simplifies the process of setting up cloud environments.
