I need to renew my ccie rs in 1.5 years or so but.. DNA, SDWAN? Do they ask that (in depth ) in the exam now? If so, I'm growing old 🤣
Nowadays with things like nexus 9300v, vagrant and automation you can emulate plenty of stuff in a very scalable way and without the pain of graphical interfaces and proprietary solutions (yes, I know, mostly control plane but we there's always tradeoff in the virtual labs, we will never be able to have perfect emulations).
If you don't mind flirting with other vendors you have container based cEOS that cuts resource consumption in one order of magnitude at least.
I'm just going to rent a beefy server becase my 32g laptop strugles with topolgies north of 10-15 devices. So answer to the question who is managing the server is 'me'. Probably would enable some coarse ring fencing between users with things like different SSDs or partitions.
I am going to do it anyway, is just that it feel like is a waste of resources having it idle for 80% of the time. So is you or crypto mining ðŸ˜
@hikaru if you can suggest an alternative to OVH that would be great. they need to offer full management of the server and nested virtualization.
