Chapter 8. Proxmox Production Level Setup

Throughout the book so far, we have seen the internal workings of Proxmox. We now know how to properly set up a fully functional Proxmox cluster. We learned about Ceph—one of the best shared storage systems—and how we can connect it with Proxmox. We also saw what a virtual network is and how it works with the Proxmox cluster.

In previous chapters, we built a very basic Proxmox cluster. For learning purposes this might be okay, but in a fully operational production environment we need a robust setup to handle the workload. That is what a production level setup is all about. In this chapter, we are going to cover the following topics:

  • Definition of production level

  • Key components of a production level setup

  • Entry-level and advanced-level hardware requirements

  • A simple way to track the hardware inventory

  • AMD-based hardware in a production level environment

Throughout this chapter, you will notice that we will use a user-built hardware configuration instead...
