Equinix + Steampipe

Steampipe is an open source CLI to instantly query cloud APIs using SQL.

Equinix Metal delivers global, interconnected, integrated, and on-demand bare-metal infrastructure as a service. As the name implies, these bare metal servers do not require virtualization or multi-tenancy. The provisioned infrastructure is deployed at Equinix data center locations allowing enabling direct network interconnects to other cloud providers and a global network backbone.

For example:

select 
  hostname, 
  state,
  tags
from 
  equinix_metal_device

+-----------------------+--------+---------------+
| hostname              | state  | tags          |
+-----------------------+--------+---------------+
| dc13-c3.medium.x86-01 | active | {"prod":true} |
+-----------------------+--------+---------------+
