Verify Certificate A Cloud Guru’s S3 Basics course provides an introduction to the capabilities and setup process for Amazon S3. S3 has become one of the most commonly used services that powers the modern internet, and the S3 API has been adopted by other vendors such as Cloudflare and MinIO . As part of this course’s capstone lab, I created multiple S3 buckets in the AWS console and experimented with configuring public and private objects.

I recently finished revamping my homelab, and I’m very excited about it. For the past 6+ months my “homelab” consisted of an old laptop running Linux and a bunch of docker containers. This worked surprisingly well, but increasingly I found myself wanted to spin up test envrionments of multiple machines. That old laptop didn’t have the power to support those kinds of labs, and I didn’t have a good set of tooling for creating, configuring, and backing up these VM or container stacks.
