Summary:

This month, join Jeff Moore as he talks about homelabbing with Xen Orchestra!

Xen Orchestra has become a popular hypervisor due in part to the licensing changes in vSphere.
this will be a walkthrough of an overview of Xen Orchestra, exploring how it is deployed and
the design decisions behind those choices, and explore in-depth some its advanced features and how they are
used within a broader homelab environment. Topics include things like: VLANs, VM automation, backups, BGP, load balancing.
If there's time and/or interest, there will also be an overview of how the popular media streaming app Jellyfin is deployed
within Xen Orchestra and Kubernetes.

Jeff is a site reliability engineer and former TriLUG chair who enthusiastically maintains a homelab and enjoys pickleball.

As usual, pizza and beverages will be provided and the meeting will be held at the North Carolina College of Textiles, room 2207, 1020 Main Campus
