Local Virtual Machine, Cloud, or Home Lab Server?

It seems to me there are several phases of infrastructure engineering learning and development that naturally progress in complexity and cost:

  1. Linux over ssh connected to VMware virtual machine
  2. Linux running from docker run
  3. Linux over ssh connected to cloud virtual machines
  4. Linux on bare metal (laptop, desktop, server, SBC)
  5. Linux over ssh connected to own server(s) on bare metal
  6. Linux over ssh connected to virtual machines on own servers
  7. Linux over kubectl on k8s on machines on own servers

  8. TODO (stuff diverges)

  9. Linux in a local VM
  10. Linux in a local container
  11. Linux in multiple local VMs
  12. Linux on bare hardware
  13. Linux VMs in a server on bare hardware
  14. Linux VMs and containers on a separate server
  15. Linux VMs in the cloud
  16. Linux containers in Vms in the cloud on bare metal
