Questions about nested proxmox

[withouck.vincent]

Hello,

This is my first time I use a forum to ask questions.

I want to start with Nested proxmox environment.


I have 3 servers at my disposable.

Some requirements for this environment must be :

* If required it want to add servers to have more resources
* I will be using two nas-servers for storage one with ssd disks (for storage off the virtuals machines and snapshots) and one with hdd disks (storage for backup) (I think distributed storage)
* I want to use the resources off all the servers as a pool of resources such as : cpu and ram. (I this can be done with proxmox a cluster)
* I must have HA (this way I will start with 3 servers)

Some questions about hardware :
* Is it required to have de same servers with identical configuration ?

Some requirements about nested proxmox :
* It must be possible to increase the resources of the virtual proxmox machine


Every virtual proxmox machine will have a public ip adress for managament of the environment.

The point to create all this is for my colleagues : every colleague will have a virtual proxmox environment and there can make there network environment with virtual machines. I will be the adminstrator off all the virtual proxmox environments.

What is best way to start this or can you point me in the right direction ?

Thx a lot already,

Withouck Vincent

Ideally you have the same hardware for all cluster nodes. It is possible to use different hardware, but this limits for example the cpu options for your virtual machines. Especially for nested virtualization this can be bad.

* It must be possible to increase the resources of the virtual proxmox machine

The resources for any virtual machine can be configured in the GUI.

The point to create all this is for my colleagues : every colleague will have a virtual proxmox environment and there can make there network environment with virtual machines. I will be the adminstrator off all the virtual proxmox environments.

I'd recommend taking a look at the various possibilities of User Management in Proxmox VE first. Nested virtualization is possible in general, but things get complicated or slow rather fast.
