2) How does Equinix interoperate with cloud providers like AWS and Azure? How does Equinix fit into the multicloud world?
3) Equinix just announced a $3.9B deal to increase global connectivity for cloud providers like AWS, Google Cloud and Azure; additionally, it announced an industry first – to set carbon-neutral science based global targets for emissions reduction across its global operations and supply chain by 2030. What are the details?
4) What about edge computing and cloud? How do you see that relationship evolving?
