Overview What You Will Learn Curriculum Instructor

Course Overview

Proxmox VE is a powerful open-source platform for virtualization that enables you to run highly available and resilient IT infrastructure. In this course, you will learn to design, configure, and manage a production-grade Proxmox high availability (HA) cluster integrated with Ceph storage. Whether you are an IT administrator or a DevOps engineer, this hands-on course will help you master the foundational and advanced concepts required to build scalable, fault-tolerant virtualization environments. 

This course begins with hardware planning and node setup for a 3-node Proxmox cluster. You’ll install Proxmox VE on each node, explore the web interface, and set up Proxmox Backup Server for disaster recovery. In the networking module, you’ll configure Linux bridges, physical NICs, VLANs, and bonding for high availability. Cluster creation is then covered, including node preparation and HA configuration. The course then integrates Ceph storage, covering its role in HA environments, network design, and configuration within Proxmox. You’ll also dive into Software Defined Networking (SDN) concepts like SDN zones, VLANs, and VXLANs, and conclude with firewall configuration to secure your cluster. 

By the end of this course, you’ll have the expertise to deploy and manage a robust Proxmox HA cluster using Ceph, with resilient networking and secure, scalable virtualization infrastructure. 

What You Will Learn

  • Set Up a Proxmox High Availability (HA) Cluster: Configure and manage a resilient Proxmox cluster to ensure continuous uptime.
  • Deploy and Manage Ceph Storage: Implement scalable, distributed storage solutions using Ceph with Proxmox VE.
  • Understand High Availability Principles: Learn the concepts of HA and apply them to virtualization platforms.
  • Configure Software-Defined Networking (SDN): Set up VLANs and advanced SDN features in Proxmox for efficient network management.
  • Monitor and Optimize Cluster Performance: Use tools like Zabbix for effective monitoring and performance optimization.
  • Perform Advanced Troubleshooting: Diagnose and resolve common issues in HA clusters and Ceph storage environments.
  • Compare Virtualization Solutions: Understand how Proxmox VE compares to alternatives like OpenStack, VMware, and Hyper-V.
