Proxmox Cluster Overview

The virtualization layer provides the control plane for agent VMs, platform nodes, and supporting services.

Operating Model​

  • Template-based VM provisioning
  • Fast rebuild path for disposable workers
  • Shared storage/networking for migration and continuity
  • Role-based separation between control, platform, and workload nodes

Why It Matters​

  • Makes “cattle not pets” practical
  • Speeds incident recovery and environment rebuilds
  • Supports parallel workstreams without coupling everything to one machine

VM Strategy​

  • Baseline images include required runtime prerequisites
  • Post-provision identity/state is restored from version-controlled sources
  • Workload-specific configuration is layered after boot
