Editing Cloud Homelabs (section)

=== Bare Metal Cloud ===
Bare Metal Cloud are a really interesting "physical cloud" solution! As per their own [http://baremetalcloud.com website]:

''We provide bare-metal dedicated servers which are unrestricted and not shared. You have full access down to the to the bare-metal of the hardware. All servers come with an OS of your choice but you have full permissions to reinstall or change anything you wish.''

So here's the cool bit! You can spin up your own hypervisors or whatever you want on their tin, and simply pay by the hour! When you combine Bare Metal Cloud with [[AutoLab]], you can have your lab up and running in a very short time, and be labbing on physical tin in somebody else's data centre!

If you want to see an example of this working, [https://twitter.com/Mike_Laverick Mike Laverick] did a great article on his blog here:
