The home lab architecture consist of a router (Ubiquiti EdgeRouter-X) with 802.1Q VLAN and sub-interfaces gateway with routing capabilities, a switch (TP-Link SG108E) with 802.1Q VLAN and native VLAN capabilities and 3 Intel NUCs, where each Intel NUC represents a physical compute + storage node resources for hosting workloads.
Update: Asus PN64-E1 is an alternative hardware which I had preliminary tested, which has more number of cores and doesn’t require custom drivers for Nutanix CE to work. I’m will update my blog with this hardware once I get a 3 node cluster.
In my following blog series, I will be sharing the details on the configuration of each components in the following sequence
- Ubiquiti EdgeRouter-X configuration of trunk and sub-interfaces as gateways
- TP-Link SG108E configuration of native VLAN and 802.1Q trunk on the port connecting to NUC
- Installation of Nutanix CE 2.0 on the NUC
- Installation of Nutanix CE 2.0 on the Asus PN64-E1 hardware
