I've been working with in the IT Industry for around 6 years and have worked across private and public sector companies. The original idea behind \"hypervlab\" was that I required an 'RnD' environment which would allow me to be able to replicate any kind of enterprise on-premise environment which I could use for learning and testing without learning in a production environment. So in 2019, I decided to branch out and use the domain for a public facing blog to be able to contribute to the IT Community about all things Microsoft.","sameAs":["https:\/\/hypervlab.co.uk","https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/simon-john-lee\/","https:\/\/x.com\/https:\/\/twitter.com\/smoon_lee"],"url":"https:\/\/hypervlab.co.uk\/?author=2"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hypervlab.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1209","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hypervlab.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hypervlab.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hypervlab.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hypervlab.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1209"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/hypervlab.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1209\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hypervlab.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/1210"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hypervlab.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1209"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hypervlab.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1209"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hypervlab.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1209"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
