Three tracks, one queue: security challenge design, the homelab this site runs on, and a small HPC lab. LIVE means up and verified; PLANNED means next, and it goes LIVE when I do.
Challenge design and pentest mock-ups: multi-stage network challenges on a dedicated test bench (R240).
Dell PowerEdge R740xd, the main server running every production service, this site included: Proxmox VE, OPNsense firewall, 6-VLAN segmented network, multi-tier ZFS, Traefik v3 + Keycloak SSO, Netbird mesh VPN, Proxmox Backup Server, Prometheus / Grafana / Loki.
Dell PowerEdge R240, a dedicated test bench for regular VM and network experiments, kept apart from production.
Slurm mini-cluster built: controller, login node and four compute VMs across two partitions, on Proxmox. Scheduling only, no GPU.
VM-based and scheduling-focused, not a GPU compute cluster. Target playground: LANL's public Darwin cluster (CCS-7).
Understand and test parallel storage (Lustre).
VM-based and scheduling-focused, not a GPU compute cluster. Target playground: LANL's public Darwin cluster (CCS-7).
First MPI programs on the home cluster.
