The decision has been made! After receiving the vExpert award there is no other way but to build a home lab to test all the goodies in VMware offer and make great blog posts about them. In this section of my blog, you will take a journey with me on how my home lab becomes reality.
- Building the server
- Building the lab – concept
- Installing ESXi server on local PC
- Customizing ESXi server, adding vMotion and Storage
- Deploying and setting up a DNS Server with PhotonOS
