Having attained knowledge in computer networking up to the CCNA level, I am now studying to get CCNP certified.
Cloud Computing
Cloud computing is hot right now so I decided to take a look into AWS by taking a course on Udemy.com.
Cyber Security
Cybersecurity is a super important topic nowadays as it is needed to ensure companies are safe from black hat hackers.
CCNA/CCNP Lab
The following GNS3 lab was built to configure anything from VLANS to OSPF and BGP routing. I set up a simple network and a group of routers to simulate the internet meanwhile being able to connect with my physical laptop to one of the workstations using a VPN tunnel.
I created this website by editing a free html template I downloaded online. I then used AWS S3, Route 53, and CloudFront to store the website and have anyone access it through https.
For this lab I used Eve-NG to set up some routers and switches and configure them using a network automation tool called Netmiko on Python. (Still a work in progress)
I must admit that cybersecurity is very interesting and this website is good for anyone who wants a better understanding of it. A lot of the knowledge from networking and using Linux can be applied here.
This was the first PC I have built and I have to say it is a powerful machine! CPU: Ryzen 9 3900X, RAM: 64GB (32GB initially), Storage: 2 x 1 TB M.2 SSDs, GPU: Radeon RX5500
This lab is an ESXi VM on top of VMWare Workstation. In ESXi I installed Windows Server 2019 and CentOS for practicing AD and other administrator roles. I had no idea you could create an ESXi VM.
