Cross-Project Network Peering

This idea was imported from Canny. Originally created by: Glenn Dekhayser. The current owner is: Unassigned.

Provide a VLAN to connect from one project to another within Metal over a VLAN dedicated to the purpose, to share a resource (such as Pure storage) with multiple projects.

    Definitely interested! I'm interested in using this for a virtual network peering site where metal routers between metal orgs can communicate at L3. Currently it looks like I have to provision this as via Equinix Fabric as a L2 Service Provider which means manual provisioning and fabric costs.

    +1 Running managed services and operations for different customers properly separated in organizations while having the ability to connect each customer org to the org of the managed service provider - that would be pretty convenient!

    +1 Easy inter-project communication would be nice to be able to have a centralized tooling or management project, or have projects leverage existing interconnects that are already set up in a different project.

    I would love to see this implemented in a cross-organization way, like Fabric service tokens. This could also benefit some actual organizations that distribute their resources across EM organizations. The ability to connect organizations through shared VLANs would elevate the versatility of EM networking componentry while enabling more self-service patterns for third parties.
