I was a VMware admin. I drank the freakin koolaid. Got the certs. I was planning on a career as an architect. Did ok.
Then Broadcom. Fukers.
My boss said screw em, we go Proxmox. So now I live and breathe Proxmox.
PVE is a heap of janky hax, so you gotta get expert real fast.
PBS is cutting edge software that breaks twice a week, so ya gotta get expert real fast.
And now I’m an expert. Especially at PBS. DR. Site-to-site. I can do that shit.
Now that I have this new skillset, where can I use it?
Who’s using Proxmox?
Though all the hardware has changed, I still have my first cluster from 6 years ago. First a single drive on ext4, then three workstations with ZFS mirrors, then 1L compute modules on an iSCSI SAN, back to just a virtual Proxmox server running on a NAS after paring back services (to Docker) and power (from 400W to 60W).
