Proxmox

This section is about Proxmox, primarily Proxmox Virtual Environment (PVE).

What is Proxmox VE?

Proxmox VE is a type 1 hypervisor that is built on top of Debian Linux. Because of the Debian base, Proxmox is incredibly stable as a hypervisor. Proxmox is also licensed under the AGPL which means that it is free to use for both personal and commercial use. This also means that the entire feature set is available to use free of charge and advanced features like clustering, are not behind a paid license like on VMware.

Broadcom Acquisition of VMware & Affects on Proxmox

Since Broadcom acquired VMware, Proxmox has seen a surge in interest and use. This has lead to the Proxmox developers working on improving and adding features to make it easier to interoperate with and migrate from VMware. This guide may gloss over these features.

Please keep in mind that I am still working on this section of the site! Please be patient as I build it out.
