What are the things that you have to have or not have, in some cases, 'cause you can virtualize a lot of these aspects of a lab. So one of the things that I'm going to be covering later in the course is how you can build an environment where you can virtualize pretty much everything. And I'm going to be introducing things like Proxmox. And, of course, you know, you can use things like VirtualBox and VMware. But in my case, in my personal home environment, I use a lot of hardware that has been repurposed. So, for example, you know, I can be using an Intel NUC like this. And that is a very inexpensive computer where you can run Proxmox and even create a cluster of virtual machines to practice your skills.
