Proxmox VE – Installation and Management of Virtual Infrastructure (PROX1)

Unix-like systems, Linux - services

Proxmox VE is a robust open-source server virtualization platform, combining KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) and LXC containers into one powerful solution. This three-day course takes you from basic installation and configuration to advanced features like clustering, high availability, and migration from VMware environments.

The course is designed for system administrators and IT professionals who want to effectively manage a virtualized infrastructure, optimize server performance, and automate maintenance using the Proxmox VE interface. Participants will learn to work with various elements of virtualization, network connection management, storage and security, while familiarizing themselves with best practices for cluster management and virtual machine migration.
