terraform-equinix-fabric-connection-metal is a minimal Terraform module that utilizes Terraform providers for Equinix to set up an Equinix Metal shared connection.
A part of Platform Equinix, your Equinix Metal™ 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 interconnections
Setting Up a Fabric Billed Fabric Virtual Connections requires requesting the connection on the Equinix Metal side, retrieving a token and using that token to request a connection on the Equinix Fabric side. This module is intended to abstract you from this process and handle the connection as a single resource.
