Package
Description
Pricing of candidate designs: RateCardCostModel is the CostModel the Metro Optimizer uses, pricing each metro's needs from a RateCard with every line's source and a range from PriceBands.
The Metro Optimizer: which set of Equinix metros best serves a DesignSpec, as a multi-objective search.
Immutable value types for the Metro Optimization Engine - the request side (sites, provider requirements, workload specs, constraints, scoring weights) and the result side (ranked recommendations, scores, topology, latency matrix, risk assessment, cost estimates).
Value types for the Deployment Wizard - the plan itself and everything it is made of, plus the execution-side inputs and outcomes.
The shared design document every design engine reads: DesignSpec.
The value-realization layer of the design API: design-time cost modelling that puts a money figure on an interconnect decision.
Rate cards: pluggable sources of unit prices for the design-time cost, savings, and TCO models.
Live cloud-provider pricing adapters: RateCard implementations that source current data-egress list prices from the providers' public pricing APIs - AwsPriceListRateCard (AWS Price List bulk offers), AzureRetailPricesRateCard (Azure Retail Prices), GcpBillingCatalogRateCard (GCP Cloud Billing Catalog; the only one needing an API key), and OracleCloudPriceListRateCard (OCI Price List).
Cloud-egress savings estimation: how much routing a monthly data volume over an Equinix private interconnect saves versus egressing it to the public internet, net of the Equinix interconnect cost.
Design-time total-cost-of-ownership comparison across the DeploymentArchetypes - public cloud over the internet, on-premises, Equinix-interconnected, and (for a cloud-to-cloud comparison) the providers' native multicloud link.
 
Cloud provider SDK interoperability layer for Equinix Fabric connections.
 
The embedded Equinix Intelligence MCP Server - a community Model Context Protocol server, not affiliated with or endorsed by Equinix, and separate from Equinix's official Fabric MCP server.
