Build a Home Lab
Feedback form is now closed.
Description:
♫ Do you want to build a home lab? ♫
♫ C'mon lets go and play! ♫
♫ I'll never test in prod again, ♫
♫ because that's a sin, ♫
♫ it's like prod has gone awaaaaay! ♫

How many of us test our changes in production? How many of us have an actual lab or development environment to test changes and new features? Do you learn by watching computer-based training or just reading Microsoft Docs?

Having worked in many small and medium-sized environments, we know that a good lab or development environment just isn't available for many organizations. And for many, the thought of building their own environment is super daunting. This doesn't have to be the case - home labs are a very affordable way to test new ideas, get your feet wet in new technologies, or even shore up some skills in a product you already work with.

Join us as we talk about:
- What equipment you need to get started (or what you might already have)
- The important pieces to understand (Hypervisors, Virtual Networking, etc.)
- Overcoming knowledge obstacles (a.k.a. fears)
- Automating creation of your labs (build, destroy, rebuild)
- The fastest MEMCM Lab build this side of Azure

What you will learn:
  • How to build a MEMCM Lab in less than 60 minutes
  • What you need to get started with your own home lab
  • Automating the creation of your home lab for maximum destruction opportunities
  • Getting over your fears

I work on secret stuff. Or maybe not so secret stuff. I'm in research and development. I don't know anymore, so I just call it all secret. I dig Windows systems from consumer to enterprise, I'm in an eternal love affair with PowerShell and C#, and I also like to play in Azure. I have... Read More →
