## Equinix Fabric L2 Connection To Alibaba Express Connect Terraform module
[](https://github.com/equinix-labs/standards#about-uniform-standards)
[](https://github.com/equinix-labs/terraform-equinix-template/actions/workflows/integration.yaml)
`terraform-equinix-fabric-connection-alibaba` is a Terraform module that utilizes [Terraform provider for Equinix](https://registry.terraform.io/providers/equinix/equinix/latest) and [Terraform provider for Alibaba](https://registry.terraform.io/providers/aliyun/alicloud/latest/docs) to set up an Equinix Fabric L2 connection to Alibaba Express 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](https://docs.equinix.com/en-us/Content/Interconnection/Fabric/Fabric-landing-main.htm).
This module creates the l2 connection in Equinix Fabric, approves the request in your account on the Alibaba platform, and optionally creates a Alibaba Express 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.

```hcl
# main.tf
provider "equinix" {}
provider "alibaba" { region = "eu-central-1" }
data "alibaba_region" "this" {}
module "equinix-fabric-connection-alibaba" {
source = "equinix-labs/fabric-connection-alibaba/equinix"
# required variables
fabric_notification_users = ["[email protected]"]
alicloud_account_id = var.alibaba_account_id
# optional variables
fabric_destination_metro_code = "FR"
network_edge_device_id = "DeviceID"
}
```
Run `terraform init -upgrade` and `terraform apply`.
