Issues deploying Equinix Connections
I have managed to use several terraform modules without problem. I have used the palo alto cloudgenix vm modules, palo alto firewalls modules, device link modules, and fabric cloud router module. All work okay on the lastest version of equinix/equinix. However as I dive into other connections I get a lot version issues. For example. Leveraging the cloud-router-port connection. https://registry.terraform.io/modules/equinix/fabric/equinix/latest/examples/cloud-router-2-port-connection This would be used to connect the cloud router to the pa firewall mgmt interface. Documentation covers the following version. required_providers { equinix = { source = "equinix/equinix" version = ">= 2.9.0" } } } But code doesnt work without this version terraform { required_providers { equinix = { source = "equinix/equinix" version = "~> 1.26.0" } } } When using new versions error occurs. Failure. Ive redone this several times in my code base. ephemeral.aws_secretsmanager_secret_version.equinix_iac_credentials: Opening... ephemeral.aws_secretsmanager_secret_version.equinix_iac_credentials: Opening complete after 0s module.equinix_deployment.module.fw-mgmt-to-fcr-connection-ch-1a.equinix_fabric_connection.this: Creating... ╷ │ Error: 400 Bad Request Code: EQ-3142558, Message: Json syntax error, please check request body, Details: Unknown json property : aSide.accessPoint.router.package.code.

Does it exist?
I scavenged the terraform registry looking for a Equinix Internet Access Terraform module. ] I found an example of a connection to EIA.This is the only thing that comes up in the registry as EIA. https://github.com/equinix/terraform-equinix-fabric/tree/v0.22.0/examples/virtual-device-2-eia-connection But none that creates the EIA itself. Can anyone answer if this may or may not be supported in terraform and if so, what would the resource name be for it? The GUI terminology doesn't always translate one for one, so maybe I'm missing something.Tell a Story About Your First Data Center Migration.

Do not notify via email after scheduled report is generated
Hi, I'm using the reports v1 API to generate ONE_TIME reports and every time the report is finished, I get an email telling me as much. However, I want to prevent this email from going out every time. I've figured out that I can use the parameters array with name notifyEmails to add additional emails that should be notified but I can't seem to be able to remove the email tied to my account. Is there any way to achieve what I want?Meet the Equinix Team attending Mobile World Congress
