Proxmox VE : Implementation and operation of a cluster

Master virtualization and cluster operations with Proxmox VE

Virtualiser son infrastructure avec Proxmox VE offre une flexibilité et une résilience considérables — à condition de savoir le déployer et l'exploiter correctement. Configuration réseau, gestion du stockage avec Ceph, création de machines virtuelles et de conteneurs, supervision, journalisation : chaque étape a ses particularités. Cette formation couvre l'ensemble du cycle de vie d'un cluster Proxmox, de l'installation à l'exploitation avancée via l'interface graphique et la ligne de commande.
