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.
