terraform-equinix-fabric-connection-azure is a Terraform module that utilizes Terraform provider for Equinix and Terraform provider for Azure to set up an Equinix Fabric L2 connection to Microsoft Azure ExpressRoute.
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 a resource group or uses an existing one, an ExpressRoute circuit in Azure, and the redundant (optionally non-redundant) l2 connection in Equinix Fabric using the ExpressRoute service key. ExpressRoute circuit peering (Private or Microsoft) and Network Edge BGP session can be optionally configured.
