In previous videos, I provided partial walkthroughs of my nested #VMware #Homelab environment running #vSphere and #NSX. For this new video series, I will be doing a complete, #step-by-step rebuild of my homelab. In this first video, I explain the concept of #nested #virtualization, provide a overview of the #Supermicro #Superserver I use in my homelab, and provide a step-by-step guide on how to create a #bootable #usbdrive to install #ESXi. 📚 Check out my blog on VMware and Cloud technology: https://jeffreykusters.nl 🐦Connect with me: Twitter ➔ https://twitter.com/jeffreykusters LinkedIn ➔ https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffreykusters ⏱ TIMESTAMPS: 0:03 Opening 1:04 Introduction to nested virtualization 5:31 Server hardware overview 6:33 Creating a bootable USB drive with ESXi 7.0 9:29 Closing words 💻 Relevant links mentioned in the video: - https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/85685 - https://www.supermicro.com/en/products/system/midtower/5028/SYS-5028D-TN4T.cfm - https://customerconnect.vmware.com/ - https://vexpert.vmware.com - https://rufus.ie/en/
