Register to attend hereLayer-2 Networking with Interconnection and AWS
Those already using Ansible can now take advantage of templates to demonstrate configuring Layer 2 connectivity to AWS S3. You can also follow the prerequisites in the related GitHub repo to test this as a new user. Step 1: Use the initial template to rapidly create a project, VLAN, VRF, and prep for BGP peering on the virtual circuit. Step 2: Finish setting up the interconnection in Fabric console manually and accept the Direct Connect request in AWS. Step 3: Use the final playbook which takes care of deploying the VPC, the S3 VPC endpoint, the Virtual Private Gateway attached to your Direct Connect, and finally configures the end to end BGP peering. This playbook has been added to the examples section of the Ansible Collection Equinix page.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.
