Hi all! I’ve been following along with Michael Cade’s renewed journey into home labbing on twitter at the same time that I’m doing a bit of the same. I’m currently working through the following
- 2x AceMagic AM06Pro (https://www.amazon.com/Computers-Windows-Display-Desktop-Bluetooth/dp/B0BQHBWPYX) upgraded to 64 GB ram and 3 TB of internal disks each for ESXi hosts
- 1x AceMagic T8 Plus (https://www.amazon.com/ACEMAGIC-Computer-3-Screen-Bluetooth-Computers/dp/B0CQJQPZJX) as a Proxmox host (hopefully)
- 1 QNAP TS332x for basic iSCSI and object storage
- 1 Synology 923+ that I’m hoping to do some Veeam related goodness on.
- Cloud based object storage from 11:11 Systems as well as some vCD compute for VCC
- In addition I have some resources in AWS that I’ll leverage to do testing and learning with.
What are you all doing for labs in modern times? If you are actively using a lab what are you testing, what’s exciting you?
