Terraform Provider Demo | Inside Equinix Developer Tech
In this video, we explore Terraform as the industry standard for provisioning on Equinix Metal. We’ll discuss the advantages of a declarative approach using HashiCorp Configuration Language (HCL), which enables reproducible and repeatable server environments. Join us for a demonstration of setting up Equinix Metal, including authentication and creating projects and devices with user data for automated configurations. Thank you for watching, and don’t miss the other videos in this series!
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.Terraform CDK | Inside Equinix Developer Tech
In this video, David Flanagan a.k.a. Rawkode, does a deepdive on the Equinix Terraform CDK. David will discuss the advantages of using Terraform CDK for your Equinix provisioning, emphasizing the benefits of a declarative approach to code. This method allows for reusable snippets across teams, reducing redundant work. We'll demonstrate how to create a function to find the cheapest server configuration and show how this refactored code can be published and shared via various platforms like NPM and PyPy. Thank you for joining this walkthrough on provisioning Equinix Metal devices with Terraform CDK. Be sure to check out the other demo videos in this series. See you next time!
