== Difference between a production workload and a lab workload ==
I run ESXi on my physical box, and I have various VMs running to provide the lab infra. I don't touch these components. These are the production workloads that provide me with a working lab environment.<br>
I also have various nested ESXi and VCSA VMs running. These are specific lab workloads to test out specific stuff, like a new vSphere beta version.<br>
I could've installed the vSphere beta on the physical box, but that compromises other labs I might have running due to bugs, stability issues, etc.<br>
See how I distinguish between 'production' and 'lab' workloads (even if they're the same product, like ESXi or vCenter)?<br>
