I have 3-node vSphere cluster with 36 cores, 300 GB of RAM, bunch of different disk options (magnetic, SSD, NVMe)
It is all powered by Ubiquiti networking gear.
VMware VUG is providing free and legal VMware licenses. I get to run VSAN, on top of it I deploy Kubernetes and I can decide if my pod wants to use poor performance VSAN disks (like EBS on AWS) or faster local NVMe‘s.
These are just couple of things I can make at home. Everything started as an experiment and it started to look like a replica of what we can have in a datacenter, but without a SLA.
First of all, all these stuff is extremely fun for me. Secondly, I won‘t go into details but as a cloud consultant, this thing I started as a hobby became one of the big boosters of my career. I never expected such an effect but I am extremely impressed by this.
