Usability

The cost summary in the GUI when choosing a node and configuring it with OS doesn't currently include the OS licensing fee if chosen.

The only ways to provide iPXE scripts currently are the following: 1 - iPXE script URL The downside to this is that the endpoint hosting the iPXE script must be public. This does not work for users that want to host the iPXE script somewhere private. 2 - Userdata This works great and allows private deployments but the issue is when users want to also pass userdata content such as cloud config or bash scripts. A third option should be available that lets the user provide the iPXE script content in base64 encoding similar to how it is done with the userdata method. This would be something like the following: “ipxe_script” : “base64encodedipxecontentstring” This would allow users to use private scripts and also freely use the userdata option for other automation scripts.

Current reserved server search functionality is unintuitive. Searching by a project name or server type returns unexpected results. We should be able to search by hostname, server type, and/or project name.

Users should have an option to submit a request for their On-Demand instances to be converted to Reservations. This would be enabled via the Self-Service Reservations feature in the Metal Customer Console.

Large companies, with established procurement processes, require a structure to manage POs and match them to invoices. Equinix Metal should support customers creating and updating Purchase Order (PO) numbers via the Metal Console.

Hey Equinix, we're trying out your new console version. We see some strange behaviour of the search box: Typing 'res' results in a result list with only Reserved instances being displayed (which is good). But typing more, e.g. 'rese' or 'reserv' then empties the result list.

Hi, an idea that came into my mind. Some other places do this as well. If one was to make a tutorial of the service, a how-to on the wiki and/or a blog post, then the creator can receive a reward of some kind.
