Hello.
We are in the process of rebuilding our virtualization infrastructure to 4 servers and a SAN shared storage (iSCSI over 10Gbps) but we are not sure of what to use, we are hesitating between Hyper-V (Without SCCM) or Proxmox VE.
We will have a mix of Windows and Linux virtual machines (mostly Linux)
One thing we want to implement on this system is the ability to automatically provision a full infrastructure on demand (Typically a developer want to test a new feature or some changes and need a new infrastructure to be provisioned, new backend VM, reverse proxies, etc...), it looks like Proxmox is very capable of that with the REST API, Hyper-V looks more limited on that
The thing not very clear is how Proxmox manage shared volumes? From what I have read we have to use LVM mapping and it will miss some features like snapshots? Is the automated backup feature still available? Are there any other big limitations ? For example can we increase the size of volumes without issues ? What would you recommend?
Thanks
