Shopping list

The basic shopping list can be found on the Liquid Metal docs

In addition to those items I used a managed switch. I needed one for the demo for several cascading reasons:

  1. To create macvtap interfaces for my microvms, my boards needed to be wired. Coming across multiple ethernet ports on stage is not easy.
  2. I wanted to have more control over the network (VLAN) my MicroVMs were created in, and so I could watch dhcp lease assignment. This is not strictly necessary in a homelab setup, as the MicroVMs will be able to get addresses from your router.

Head over to the Liquid Metal docs for the build guide, and see the final page here for the exact setup I had for the demo.
