It seems like AWS and Azure keep enticing me with free credits and trails. Has anyone cracked the code on migrating a home lab to the cloud? I've only dealt with cloud providers at a pre-established enterprise level, or a lab environment that was more play/test than anything else.

I'm talking some fairly critical systems such as homeseer and blue iris, that should act as if they are local resources. Then a ton of lab VMs

This is coming as I'm thinking about upgrading current hardware.. but the cost
 
Along the same lines as Eulogy. You should stand up what you want in the cloud and have a site to site VPN reaching back to your home. You will obviously need a firewall or an RRAS server to be the VPN endpoint at your home.
 
ok, cool. Thanks guys. I'll look into re-purposing my current build to be the endpoint. Could just go with a pfsense, which could replace my current router and do VPN
 
Yeah. Or OpenVPN, or any of the free VPN solutions really. I work for a cloud provider, so I have some stuff in the cloud, but I still have a lot at my house, too. I want my movies/TV/Music on my local storage which is ~50TB in my rack. I already had my ESX lab here as well, so it still is running to maintain the VPN, might as well use it for other stuff too :)
