terraform-equinix-fabric-connection-ibm is a Terraform module that utilizes Terraform provider for Equinix and Terraform provider for IBM to set up an Equinix Fabric L2 connection to IBM Direct Link 2.0.
As part of Platform Equinix, your infrastructure can connect with other parties, such as public cloud providers, network service providers, or your own colocation cages in Equinix by defining an Equinix Fabric - software-defined interconnection.
This module creates the l2 connection in Equinix Fabric, approves the request in your account on the IBM Cloud platform, and optionally creates a IBM Direct Link virtual connection. BGP in Equinix side can also be configured if Network Edge device is used.
