Coming from #VMware? Looking for a #DRS alternative for #Proxmox? #ProxLB has you covered - free & #opensource!

#ProxLB now also offers two modes:

* Used Resources: Rebalances VMs for the optimal resource usage by their currently used resources for efficiency

* Assigned Resources: Rebalances VMs by their max. assigned resources to guarantee the resources (avoid overprovisioning)

Finally added the blog post about #ProxLB. A #Proxmox loadbalancer but different! Rebalance your VM workloads across nodes in your cluster!

Usually I post about things that follow a minimalistic approach - do only what is needed.

However, currently I'm playing around with some completely different things like #Harvester - running #SLE with #Kubernetes, #Longhorn and #KubeVirt. I spawned a three node cluster just in minutes and could use live migrations.

Multi tenant solutions are a bit more tricky and the #Rancher integration is not that easy as expected and took additional 30 minutes. Currently, I like the approach of #HCI and also the more modern one which feels more like infrastructure as a code. I'm aware that this might not fit all scenarios and use cases and it's just having a look aside of the typical solutions. But it looks pretty promising and interesting.

#Proxmox just released its new import wizard for (live) importing #VirtualMachines from #VMware #ESXi systems by using the official API through a user space filesystem written in Rust.

Here you find more information about it and how to install/use it.

Howto build and run #Proxmox on #ARM64 based hardware architecture. Especially after #Broadcom dropped the free #ESXi, switching to a new software and hardware may become handy.
