Why a Home-Lab
Doing a DevOps role requires a lot of expertise in CI / CD plus Linux cli proficiency, and hardware server knowledge. Building out a Home-Lab gives you experience in all of the areas one needs to be proficient in a production environment, You get to experiment and build and tear down servers, clusters, deployment manifests, and write shell scripts without worrying about breaking the production or development environments.
Practicing the Kubernetes flow and noodling out those pesky Linux configuration errors in a no pressure environment. Nerd paradise!
