What conferences are folks attending this year?
Hey folks, As conference seasons is quickly approaching are there any must-attend conferences that you'll be going to? I plan on going to KubeCon EU, KubeHuddle Toronto, and hopefully some of the DevOps Days conferences (Austin and Chicago, maybe?). If you're going to be at one of those feel free to reach out and we can connect in person. Any other conference or event suggestions?"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-nvmeWhich Youtube video tutorials would you like to watch?
Which Equinix topics, partnerships, or services would you like us to cover in future videos at EquinixDevelopers? This week Chris Privitere joined the Youtube livestream to walk us through Kubernetes Metrics Server. We're always looking to keep giving back to the community.What are your plans for the Equinix Metal Load Balancer service?
Tyler Auerbeck introduced us to the new Load Balancer (EMLB) service during his Equinix Demo Day Winter 2023 session, https://deploy.equinix.com/events/demo-day-2/. Now that all Equinix Metal users have access to this feature through the console and API, what are you planning to do with it? The service is documented athttps://deploy.equinix.com/developers/docs/metal/networking/load-balancers/. One of the first integrations to be released is the Cloud Provider Equinix Metal (CPEM) support for managing Kubernetes Service resources with the LoadBalancer type. The integration will provision EMLB load balancers and pools and configure ports to map to the Kubernetes nodes and ports where the service is available. The dozens of API calls all happen automatically when CPEM is used in a Kubernetes cluster running on Equinix Metal! The CPEM docs for using this integration are in the project README:https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/cloud-provider-equinix-metal#service-load-balancers. More API documentation is available at: https://github.com/equinix/lbaas-api-docs
