feat!: drop support for Equinix Metal by displague · Pull Request #1006 · equinix/terraform-provider-equinix

displague · 2026-04-03T04:11:03Z

Equinix Metal is sunsetting on June 30, 2026. See https://docs.equinix.com/metal/ for more information.

Terraform support for Equinix Metal resources is available in the v4 Terraform provider. When removing equinix_metal_* resources from Equinix Terraform configurations, provider configuration parameters specific to Equinix Metal, such as auth_token must also be removed.

See https://registry.terraform.io/providers/equinix/equinix/latest/docs

BREAKING CHANGE: equinix_metal_* resource support has been removed in Equinix Terraform provider v5

Copilot

Pull request overview

This PR removes Equinix Metal support from the v5 provider, aligning with Metal’s announced sunset timeline and making equinix_metal_* resources/data sources unavailable going forward.

Changes:

Removed Metal resources/data sources (Framework + SDKv2 implementations) and associated helpers/sweepers.
Removed Metal acceptance tests and test utilities.
Removed Metal-related docs and examples from the repository.

Linters are mainly failing on touched files that were only partially touched to remove Metal.

We may want to add a golangci-lint block, like that removed for Metal files, to the NE and Fabric space (at least until this PR is merged).
