Adding my +1 here as well. We need some sort of central management page for both administrative purposes and users to log in to interact with the environment we provision them.
Multi Datacenter Management
- Thread starter blinds_eye
- Start date
+1, would love to migrate more and more vmware customers to proxmox
+1
stage 0 for start even no vm migrations, but ability to add multiple datacenters to the same gui and manage without switching between windows
stage 1 add ability to move vms around via shared storage or shared proxmox backup server
stage 2 add direct migrations
stage 3 add live migrations

We already got stage 1+2+3. See the "qm remote-migrate" command: https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/qm.1.html
Whats missing is stage 0

I don't see anything on the roadmap but there have been staff mentions it is coming to beta this year? Can any staff comment on where we stand with this?

There's work going to get the basics implemented, and we indeed plan to get a beta out in the public sometimes later in Q4 of this year.
until Q4, is there anybody using something like https://github.com/bastienwirtz/homer ? or any other recommendations to have one start page with links to different clusters?
Similar project https://gethomepage.dev/, which in the end is like a "list of bookmarks". Neither really sorts out the features that a multidatacenter management tool could provide.
Thats what my Glas-Ball said some time ago....

The moment this arrives, lots of users will discover they are better off with "multi-datacentre" management of their multiple (what should have been) single-node installs as opposed to clusters (which they felt compelled to use due to the missing feature).
It will be also about having ... a control-like node (feature set), something that PVE likes to distinguish itself from the rest that it does not need to rely on.
Interesting, there goes quorum CPG concept.

The Datacenter Manager will not be a vCenter replacement. Fortunately, because we don't need all the bugs.
But you can use it to manage clusters and single nodes.

You have to understand part of the ethos of this community manifests itself in bringing up everything bad about the so-called competition that others are willing to pay for multiple $$$ for. That's about it.
NB If anything, it will be GUI wrapper around qm remote-migrate, I would not expect much more. You can't really have anything more with the corosync based model.
