Hey friends, today we continue our series all about migrating from VMWare to the world Proxmox! Specifically:
- Getting my first Proxmox-based NUCs out in the field for live engagements!
- Pulling the trigger on two bare-metal Proxmox servers to eventually replace my vCenter environment.
- OVHCloud made it super easy to to add Proxmox to those bare-metals with a simple wizard.
- I couldn't figure out how to get a Proxmox VM as the main firewall for the whole Proxmox node, but it turns out it helps to RTFM.
- When getting a bare-metal OS/hypervisor installed, be careful in that the provider may leave the management ports of that host open to the whole world. In OVH's case, they have a software firewall that can be tuned so that, for example, only you can hit the management ports for the box.
- Getting VLANs setup is a snap once the virtual hardware stuff is in place.
