Project#

The project is a Java SDK for the Equinix REST APIs, written by hand against the public OpenAPI specifications and checked against the live service with read-only and dry-run calls. On top of the API clients it provides design engines for placement, planning and cost, and an MCP server. The overview describes the scope and the exclusions.

No warranty#

The software is provided under the Apache License 2.0, without warranty of any kind. The SDK can create billable resources and place physical orders in your Equinix account. Before a program runs against a production account, validate its requests with dry run, try it in a sandbox or a test project, and review the resources it will create.

Cost figures produced by the design layer are estimates built from dated public list prices, live price APIs or figures you supply. They are not quotes, and each figure states its source (Cost and value).

This site#

The site is static HTML generated from Markdown by a script with no dependencies beyond Python's standard library. It loads no third-party fonts, scripts, analytics or trackers, and it sets no cookies. The theme preference is kept in the browser's local storage. Search runs in the browser against an index file served from this domain.

The colours follow optical fibre jackets: aqua (multimode OM3) for links and code, violet (OM4) for Beta, and yellow (single-mode) for cautions and planned work.

Every Java sample is compiled against the SDK classes before the site is published. The identifiers, VLANs, package codes and prices in the samples are examples and have to be replaced with the values of your account.
