1st: Virtualization

2nd: Firewalls and networking

3rd: Containers, Docker, (Podman) and LXC, (Incus)

4th: All the above leads onto Hypervisors

5th: Which leads you to Kubernetes

The first three require minimal hardware. Once you've got the hang of the them, it's time to get serious with a dedicated machine with greater hardware resources to run a Hypervisor.

Kubernetes, all that built in redundancy makes it hungry beast. Enough to get you looking for one or more those big old servers that homelabers love.

This. Honestly has helped grow my skills across a lot of disciplines that has been a great strength to my IT/Cyber career.
