60 seconds about IFConfig and IPConfig
What can you learn in 60 seconds? A lot, actually! We're now creating Youtube Shorts to teach you in bite-size snippets. Let me and stevemar know which topics you'd like us to cover! Here I talk about IPConfig and IFConfig, which dives into your computer's network - like VPNs, ethernet ports, and more! https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Xh5KqfH7WE8
Which 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.Have you heard of Submarine Cables?
How does the internet connect from New York City to Paris? It's not just satellites - it's also cables underneath the ocean. And they send data through glass traveling at 671,000,000 miles per hour. That's the speed of light! There are more than 500 of these cables spanning 750,000 miles sending more than 64 terabits of data. That's enough bandwidth to send 2 million mp3 files every single second. Watch this video below to learn more about these fascinating cables that deliver over 97% of the internet’s traffic.
Did you know about the Metal CLI command 'eval $(metal env)' ?
Hide that $METAL_AUTH_TOKEN environment variable! Using the Metal CLI, if you shell metal env then it returns the environment variables back to you in plain text. Normally that's fine, but what if you're recording a video or giving an expo presentation? How would you submit your auth tokens in the background so that Terraform could see it, but your viewers couldn't? eval $(metal env) With this command, your API token can stay hidden. Normally, you would put the API Key in the terraform.tfvars. But always remember - don't check your API Key into your Github repo! This is such useful command. Here's a video @ 41:09 that shows it in action, hosted by cprivitere and ocobles and stevemar
