This MAY be of interest. Thought I'd go ahead share some work doing with proxmox:
https://github.com/spinnaker/spinnaker/pull/7739
REMINDER that this is a work in progress. That said in testing I've already been able to do a fair bit. This would provide the ability to use spinnaker to do idempotent deploys of services to proxmox similar to EC2/K8s/other cloud providers. Spinnaker has always done a VERY good job of doing VM based deploys. This builds on that for proxmox (which I use in my lab). Though proxmox doesn't have "Autoscaling Groups" in the AWS sense, this can emulate this with manual operations of "add capacity". It's a WORK IN PROGRESS :) Very much initial, but with some testing it already enables:
* Load and display VMs in spinnaker for visualization of state
* Bake & deploy new operations (e.g. given an RPM, bake a new image with that PRM installed and deploy X number of VMs with that new baked image)
* Various "controls" to delete/scale said vms as needed

I plan to look at additional pieces - e.g. I've NOT done any pipeline stage work yet. I've got the bake & deploy of VMs working, caching of VMs and their state, basic deploys all working on my lab installation.

JUST to update... here's some screen shots of the current state of integration, including deployments. Enables an AWS LIKE experience. i've ALSO built out an HAProxy integration that enables load balancing as part of this including health checks of the VM's post deployment. This also includes some SDK's for both purposes.
