XCP-ng for Homelabs is the first comprehensive, hands-on guide designed to help beginners, enthusiasts, and IT professionals transform ordinary home hardware into a fully automated, production-class homelab environment. Built around XCP-ng and Xen Orchestra, this groundbreaking book gives you a complete blueprint for virtualization, storage, networking, security, and full-stack automation using modern open-source tools.

Whether you want to upskill for a tech career, prepare for certifications, run your own cloud, sharpen your DevOps workflow, or simply explore the frontier of home computing, this book gives you everything you need to build a scalable, secure, resilient, and automated homelab from the ground up.
