My problem began when I needed to run labs containing network devices (Juniper vMX, vSRX, Cumulus, VyOS, etc). That’s the spot I realized I needed something fresh that tackles the problem of network devices labs in a smarter way. I still happily run oVirt today for everything, except Networking Labs. Nested Virtualization and speed to bring VMs up were my two absolutely favorite parts, especially as I started working on Contrail and Openstack.
It works well with images, it can be automated, and it does nested virtualization very, very well. ESXi is great, but with time, I kept finding myself doing a lot of the same thing over and over, and although I automated most parts that are repetitive, I felt like I wanted something a bit quicker that just works.įor around two years, oVirt has been my choice for hosting my run-of-the-mill – mostly linux – labs. I’ve went from VMs on my laptop to using XEN on some old machine to VMware ESXi. Here’s a tiny backstory: Looking back into the past five to six years, homelabbing has been one of greatest pleasures to fiddle around and come up with the right setup for whatever I’m learning.
