Overview

Proxmox VE (Virtual Environment) is an open-source server virtualization management platform. It allows you to create and manage virtual machines (VMs) and containers on a cluster of physical servers. Proxmox VE is based on Debian Linux and uses KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) as the hypervisor and LXC (Linux Containers) for lightweight virtualization.

   • Cloud Name – choose a name for your Cloud Credentials (3-30 characters, e.g. proxmox-cloud-credentials) 
   • Proxmox API Host – Proxmox API Host is a software component that provides a programming interface for managing and interacting with Proxmox Virtual Environment (PVE) infrastructure. (e.g https://taikun-proxmox-XXX.XXX.XX/api2/json ) 
   • Proxmox Client ID – Proxmox Client ID refers to a unique identifier assigned to a client or user in the Proxmox Virtual Environment (PVE) system. (e.g. taikun@XX!XXX)

   • Storage – refers to the available space and resources for storing virtual machine data. 
   • VM Template Name – VM Template Name in Proxmox refers to a predefined, reusable configuration and setup for a virtual machine (VM).
   • Hypervisors – Hypervisors is responsible for abstracting and virtualizing the underlying hardware resources, allowing multiple VMs to run concurrently on a single physical server. 
   • Public Network and Private Network:
     • Network Address and Mask (e.g. 78.XX.XX.12/17) 
     • Gateway (e.g. 78.XX.XX.11) 
     • Allocation Range (e.g. 78.XX.XX.22 – 78.XX.XX.100)
