Proxmox 6.0 (old version) and VMware comparison in a 2022 IBM article

[MagicFab]

I read this interesting article about Proxmox VE use on IBM Cloud:

https://community.ibm.com/community...2/04/14/leveraging-open-source-kvm-hypervisor

Near the end it indicates :

"VMWare is easier for implementations that require a high degree of clustering and HA since VMWare’s GUI can prepare and add storage, which isn’t possible with Proxmox’s GUI."

Is this because GUI management of clustering, HA and storage were not present in Proxmox VE 6.0 ? I am fairly certain they were. Or not ?

aside from that article being a mess in certain parts (e.g. showing a screenshot of 7.1 iso, then the 6.0 installer...) i don't get how they did arrive at that conclusion, PVE could add (external) storages far longer than 6.0 (even before i started here ) LVM/ZFS/Ext4/Xfs creation on the gui was done in ~2018 while PVE 6 was released in 2019 and integrated ceph was i believe also already there...

so from my point of view, it's just a badly researched article...

EDIT:

Is this because GUI management of clustering, HA and storage were not present in Proxmox VE 6.0 ? I am fairly certain they were. Or not ?

yes they were, clustering on the gui was also done in 2018, and ha before that (IIRC)

I started with proxmox back in the 5.x days, and even then it felt like a clear upgrade.
