Workshop for tech leaders & practitioners: build a working multicloud network in minutes, not weeks
 

Multicloud is no longer a strategy question: 80% of the Fortune 500 already run on multiple clouds. But 73% of them say cloud complexity is slowing their digital initiatives — and connecting those clouds has traditionally meant design, procurement, shipping and provisioning measured in weeks. It doesn't anymore.

Join the Equinix Fabric Workshop and build it yourself: a Fabric Cloud Router connecting AWS and Oracle Cloud, provisioned in minutes rather than weeks, in your own lab environment on real Equinix infrastructure. You will also have the opportunity to connect with your peers and expand your professional network during dedicated networking sessions, as well as join an optional data centre tour to explore LD5 and see a liquid cooling environment firsthand.

What you'll do

  1. 1. Build it — Create an Equinix Fabric Cloud Router in minutes — a virtual router with no hardware to ship, no colocation footprint and no procurement cycle. 
  2. 2. Connect it — Establish private, low-latency connections from your cloud router into AWS and Oracle Cloud, with BGP peering on both — a working multicloud network on a single router.
  3. 3. Prove it — Verify traffic moving between the two clouds over private interconnection, never crossing the public internet — then consider how long the same result used to take.

Who should attend
Technology leaders and practitioners responsible for:

  • • Connecting workloads and data across two or more clouds
  • • Supporting hybrid or multicloud environments Improving network performance, resilience and cost
  • • Accelerating cloud connectivity without new circuit builds
  • • Replacing MPLS or modernising the WAN
  • • Simplifying network deployment and operations 

Workshop Prerequisites
No prior Equinix Fabric experience needed. Familiarity with IP routing and BGP concepts is helpful — every step is in the participant guide, and Equinix Global Solutions Architects are in the room throughout. All lab credentials are supplied on the day. All you need is a laptop with a modern browser. Everything runs in the browser — there's nothing to install, and all credentials are supplied on the day.

Please note: You'll need browser access to the Equinix Portal and the AWS and Oracle Cloud consoles — worth checking in advance if your laptop is managed.
