Provider Binary

Credentials
To provision resources with the Pulumi Equinix provider, you need to have Equinix credentials.
For information about obtaining API key and secret required for Equinix Fabric and Network Edge refer to Generating Client ID and Client Secret key from Equinix Developer Platform portal.
Interacting with Equinix Metal requires an API auth token that can be generated at Project-level or User-level. User API keys can be obtained by creating them in the Equinix Metal Portal or by using the Create a User API Key endpoint. Project API keys can also be obtained by creating them in the Equinix Metal Portal or by using the Create a Project API Key endpoint.
If you are only using Equinix Metal resources, you may omit the Client ID and Client Secret provider configuration parameters needed to access other Equinix resource types (Network Edge, Fabric, etc).
Configuration
There are a few different ways you can configure your Equinix credentials to work with Pulumi.
Set environment variables
Once you have your credentials, you can set environment variables to provision resources in Equinix:
$ export METAL_AUTH_TOKEN=<METAL_AUTH_TOKEN>
$ export EQUINIX_API_CLIENTID=<EQUINIX_API_CLIENTID>
$ export EQUINIX_API_CLIENTSECRET=<EQUINIX_API_CLIENTSECRET>
$ export METAL_AUTH_TOKEN=<METAL_AUTH_TOKEN>
$ export EQUINIX_API_CLIENTID=<EQUINIX_API_CLIENTID>
$ export EQUINIX_API_CLIENTSECRET=<EQUINIX_API_CLIENTSECRET>
> $env:METAL_AUTH_TOKEN = "<METAL_AUTH_TOKEN>"
> $env:EQUINIX_API_CLIENTID = "<EQUINIX_API_CLIENTID>"
> $env:EQUINIX_API_CLIENTSECRET = "<EQUINIX_API_CLIENTSECRET>"
