About this course
This course develops practical capability in Proxmox VE. Its course-specific content covers Proxmox architecture, Compute and storage, Networking and clusters, Protection and operations, followed by an applied project focused on build a proxmox virtualisation and backup lab. The lessons include concrete configuration, design, testing or operational decisions appropriate to the subject.
Who this is for
Administrators, developers and practitioners who work with Proxmox VE or plan to take on responsibilities in this area.
Before you start
Basic computer literacy and a foundational understanding of virtualization & data centers. Prior experience with the named product helps with the practical exercises.
Build a Proxmox virtualisation and backup lab
Deliver build a proxmox virtualisation and backup lab. Use the module outcomes to state requirements, demonstrate a working result, test an expected failure or boundary case, and document assumptions and follow-up work.
