# Fabric Port to Fabric Alibaba Profile Connection

This example shows how to leverage the [Fabric Port Connection Module](https://registry.terraform.io/modules/equinix/fabric/equinix/latest/submodules/port-connection)
to create a Fabric Connection from a Fabric Port to Fabric Alibaba Service Profile.

It leverages the Equinix Terraform Provider, the Alibaba Terraform Provider, and the Fabric Port Connection
Module to setup the connection based on the parameters you have provided to this example; or based on the pattern
you see used in this example it will allow you to create a more specific use case for your own needs.

See example usage below for details on how to use this example.
### Step by Step Instructions for Fabric Port to Fabric Alibaba Profile Connection

#### 1. Create Connection from Equinix Terraform Provider

**Note:** The `connection_name` must follow either one of these patterns:

This is fine. You're bringing attention to something I didn't think had any issues.


* A unique `connection_name` with atmost 24 characters.
`connection_name = var.connection_name`


* A `connection_name` with atmost 12 characters combined with a random string of 12 characters:
`connection_name = "${var.connection_name}${random_string.random.result}"`
Use the `random_string` resource to perform this operation:
```hcl
resource "random_string" "random" {
length = 12
special = false
}
```
* A unique `connection_name` is generated by appending a 12-character random string to the variable name given by the user.

I won't request another change for this, but the standard is not to end a bulleted item with a period. Glad that this document is consistent with it though.

Ok. I wasn't sure what is the standard. I will remove this in my upcoming commit.

* A Fabric Port to Alibaba Profile Connection is successfully created and displayed in the Fabric Portal.
* An Express Connect Physical Connection resource is created and becomes visible in the Alibaba Portal.


#### 2. Formulate main.tf and output.tf Files
* When you run the initial `terraform apply`, the resources and data sources (from the example) are in comments
* The comments can be removed after you accept the connection with the Alibaba portal.

#### 3. Accept the Connection Request
Manually accept the connection request in the Alibaba Portal for the created physical connection.

#### 4. Create the Virtual Border Router (VBR) Resource
* Remove the commented code to create the VBR resource
* The VBR resource is created successfully and linked to the physical connection.

#### 5. [Cleanup] Delete Resources

1. Run `terraform destroy` to delete the Alibaba VBR

Directly deleting the Equinix Fabric connection, will result in the following error: `ERR-UAA-003-00: Deletion for a provisioned connection needs to be initiated from Alibaba Portal.`

Show resolved Hide resolved

2. Go to the Alibaba Portal to manually **terminate** and then **delete** the physical connection. This action will automatically delete the connection on the Equinix side, updating its status to Deprovisioned on both Equinix and Provider side.
