Canonical MicroCloud: My Honest Homelab Review

Описание: Is Canonical MicroCloud the right private cloud solution for your homelab? I spent several weeks testing this open-source, scalable cloud platform from Canonical to see how it stacks up against hypervisors like Proxmox. It brings the cloud experience right to your own servers or mini PCs!

In this honest review (sponsored by Canonical ), I break down the incredibly simple installation and clustering process and share my thoughts on the default networking (OVN) , the GUI vs. CLI experience , and what features homelab users will love—or find frustrating.
