Overview of this book

Proxmox is an open source server virtualization solution that has enterprise-class features for managing virtual machines, for storage, and to virtualize both Linux and Windows application workloads. You'll begin with a refresher on the advanced installation features and the Proxmox GUI to familiarize yourself with the Proxmox VE hypervisor. Then, you'll move on to explore Proxmox under the hood, focusing on storage systems, such as Ceph, used with Proxmox. Moving on, you'll learn to manage KVM virtual machines, deploy Linux containers fast, and see how networking is handled in Proxmox. You'll also learn how to protect a cluster or a VM with a firewall and explore the new high availability features introduced in Proxmox VE 5.0. Next, you'll dive deeper into the backup/restore strategy and see how to properly update and upgrade a Proxmox node. Later, you'll learn how to monitor a Proxmox cluster and all of its components using Zabbix. Finally, you'll discover how to recover Promox from disaster strikes through some real-world examples. By the end of the book, you'll be an expert at making Proxmox work in production environments with minimal downtime.

Summary

In this chapter, we learned how to create a Proxmox cluster and explored the graphical user interface of Proxmox VE. We learned about how the menu system is divided into different entities and what features are used to manage resources in a Proxmox cluster. We also saw different modes of the viewing option to browse all the resources in a Proxmox cluster.

Being equipped with the knowledge of the Proxmox GUI and its features paves the way for much more advanced topics in the coming chapters. Although Proxmox provides many management options through the CLI, a great deal of time is still spent on the Proxmox GUI for day-to-day cluster management.

In the next chapter, we will see what is under the hood of Proxmox. We will see how the Proxmox directory structure is laid out to store vital configuration files and what the Proxmox cluster filesystem is and why it is important...
