The Ultimate HomeLab
Want to learn DevOps, cloud and infrastructure engineering without running up an enormous cloud bill? Build your own cloud playground. Starting with inexpensive hardware, I’ll build a complete environment using Proxmox, Packer, Terraform and Kubernetes, adding identity and security along the way. We’ll see how the same infrastructure-as-code, automation and security principles apply from a homelab to production cloud environments.
