Equinix Fabric L2 Connection To AWS Direct Connect Terraform module

Experimental terraform

terraform-equinix-fabric-connection-aws is a Terraform module that utilizes Terraform provider for Equinix and Terraform provider for AWS to set up an Equinix Fabric L2 connection to AWS Direct Connect.

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 AWS platform, and optionally creates a AWS Direct Connect private virtual interface (VIF) and a virtual private gateway (VGW). BGP in Equinix side can be optionally configured if Network Edge device is used.

This project may also be used as a Terraform module.

To use this module in a new project, create a file such as:

# main.tf
provider "equinix" {}

provider "aws" { region = "eu-central-1" }

data "aws_region" "this" {}

module "equinix-fabric-connection-aws" {
  source  = "equinix-labs/fabric-connection-aws/equinix"

  # required variables
  fabric_notification_users = ["example@equinix.com"]
  aws_account_id            = var.aws_account_id

  # optional variables
  fabric_destination_metro_code = "FR"
  network_edge_device_id        = "DeviceID"
}

Run terraform init -upgrade and terraform apply.
