Home Lab

I use this compact and low power Intel NUC to run docker workloads with gitops. I use this primarily for media, storage, and monitoring.

$ hdparm -Tt /dev/sda

/dev/sda:
 Timing cached reads:   7664 MB in  1.99 seconds = 3854.47 MB/sec
 Timing buffered disk reads: 1348 MB in  3.00 seconds = 448.90 MB/sec

VPCs

I have workloads running in both AWS and GCP. I use these for work related experiements, testing best practices, and creating examples e.g. CI, CD, IAM, and networking patterns.

$ yum install python python-pip -y \
 && pip install --upgrade pip \
 && pip install speedtest-cli \
 && speedtest-cli
