    Is clustering production-ready on Proxmox VE 8.2.2?

    I have 8 Proxmox VE 8.2.2 hosts. Each host is built the exact same way, running the same hardware. Besides the pro of everything being accessible from one clean GUI and VM moves being a breeze (compared to my current PBS backup and restore method), what other potential pros would I gain from...

    what do you think of this Proxmox/ceph Cluster ?

    So I have this cluster in mind: PLEASE keep in mind the availability of hardware be it new/used server/workstation hardware is quit unorthodox and different Here from what's available in the us/eu. for example a single used epyc 9654 costs 10x a 9950x and that's just a single cpu, a single...
