In Love With My New Home Lab

It's Been so long that i have written an article on Home Lab, reason being i lost the access to one of the Physical Server on which i created my entire Home Lab.

 And since that day i was struggling to test lot of new functionalities and was not able to proceed further with the integration Stuff. In Short i was missing my Old Setup a lot but there is an OLD Saying "Everything Happens For a Reason". 

 And i think i understand the reason today when i was unpacking all the new components i Bought for my New Home lab. Oh Yes !. Super Excited.

 Yes we are back again with Home Lab Series where in i will be sharing my experience that i will be testing in My New Home Lab. So Let's Start with ?

    It's Time to Love Each Other 

    Fingers Crossed hope these new components love each other as they have been doing wishing them a Very Happy Married Life.

    Believe me Guys lot of motivation is Required when it comes to building your own Home Lab and that too from Scratch, Thank's to one of my colleague who supercharged me.

    Do let me know if you want me to perform some special use cases or some integration that you always have been waiting to see or maybe some new functionalities that you want me to test with.
