Yes, and if he ever leaves said company, he can keep his personal lab.
orly!? That's awesome!

The other guise of having 'my own lab',... is not getting a call from the home office saying something got broke,...at 2am...on a Saturday....before Spring Break.Not To mention..There maybe a option to bring someone in on it and I don't have certain clearance as it's under my control..

What really determines what makes sense here is what the goals of your lab are. What do you want to learn with it?
I want mine for databases, software enhancement & design for websites....etc And what ever else I tickles my fancy.

I mean what he's setup on his own, not what he gets access to through work.

@g.jacobse, that's what I dreamed too

However, although I no longer work with all those people, they're still family

oh, righto. I'd see how everyone else had theirs set up and then set up a private non-work related one in a similar fashion

The NTG lab has a Redis and MongoDB cluster. And not multiple instances on a single VM, which you can do in a pinch, but three dedicated VMs each running one instance of the DB so it is a real cluster with failover that can be tested.

Who is this for? From what I've heard you are joining a company next week that provides pretty extensive lab facilities for staff. No need to maintain personal ones anymore
Ah but, there's still the fun of personal ones.

I'm very much hoping that I can stay at said company a very long time... at my age, it gets to be a bit more difficult every year to look forward. Getting into a team that not only can work together but also get alonG is really important.
One of the goals with said company - is to not just fit in,.. but become part of the family...
An advantage of the corporate lab is integration. Things like access are integrated already, no need to do that for each new machine. And there are cool things like log management that are in the lab, so you not only get to, say, bring up a MariaDB test machine but you get to have its logs shipped to an ELK instance too, and play with that without having to build one of those too.

I'd like to play around with it sometime.
