Canonical, the publisher of Ubuntu, just dropped something that could change the way we run homelabs forever: MicroCloud. In this video, I’ll show you how to install it, set up a cluster, launch containers and VMs, and even migrate workloads across nodes, all in my homelab. If you’ve ever thought OpenStack was too heavy or Kubernetes was too complex, MicroCloud might be the lightweight, powerful cloud solution you’ve been waiting for. Let’s see what it can really do.
