LAB for 2022 is ready. Last year the price of the energy go so high, that I must to turn off some of my servers. So they are not running 24×7 🙁 Usually I run 2x vCenters, NSX-T, VSAN, Cloud Director, vRO, vRLI, Tanzu, K8S etc.. and a lots of linux VM’s all for testing and learning purpose. Licenses I have are from vExpert and VMUG Advantage.
