Proxmox VE Fundamentals
Workshop

Proxmox VE manages QEMU/KVM VMs with their own guest operating systems and LXC system containers that share the host kernel. Starting a VM or container is straightforward. Building a Proxmox VE host whose storage, networking, access, and recovery behaviour can be explained is harder. This three-day fundamentals workshop focuses on that operational challenge. On day one, you map the platform architecture and install a single host in a prepared lab environment. You correlate the web interface and shell, provision a QEMU/KVM VM and an unprivileged LXC system container, and compare their operating
