Follow a step by step agenda to build a high availability cluster with Proxmox and Ceph, covering architecture, installation, multi node configuration, VM and container deployment, and backup tests.
Learn how to design and configure a training environment for a high availability cluster with proxmox and ceph, including virtual machine training, switch configurations, and deployment steps.
Download the latest Proxmox VE 7 ISO, download Rufus, burn the ISO to a USB drive, and prepare a bootable installer ready for installation.
Install proxmox on server 1 and connect it to a three-server cluster, manage via web browser, and prepare for installing servers two and three and storage deployment.
Demonstrates installing a second Proxmox node, configuring a password and an FQDN, removing the USB after install, and accessing the web interface to verify the node is operational.
Learn to configure non-subscription repositories for proxmox on three nodes, perform distribution updates, upgrades, and ensure time synchronization with ntp for a high-availability cluster with proxmox and ceph.
Learn how to configure a bond interface on each Proxmox node to achieve high availability by bonding multiple NICs and creating a bridge for reliable network access.
Connect to the first cluster in the data center, create and join the proxmox cluster across multiple nodes, and configure storage for files and vms to build the converge platform.
Install and configure Ceph on a three-node Proxmox cluster, including monitors and the storage manager. The session guides provisioning nodes, starting services, and evaluating solid-state and hard-disk options.
Learn how to deploy osds in a high availability cluster with Proxmox and Ceph, including configuring monitors and managers, creating pools, and ensuring metadata servers and backend storage readiness.
Set up cephfs in a high-availability proxmox cluster by creating pools, configuring metadata, and provisioning the ceph filesystem, then verify the setup.
Learn how to upload ISOs to CephFS using web browser or GUI tools, including downloading ISOs from official websites and uploading local files or via directory URLs.
Deploy Ubuntu host within Proxmox for a high availability cluster by creating and configuring a virtual machine, selecting the life saver ISO, setting memory, starting restoration, and enabling the agent.
Download the official Windows ISO, create an ISO image, upload it to Proxmox, and deploy a Windows 10 VM with drivers loaded from the ISO.
Learn to destroy a virtual machine in a high-availability cluster by confirming deletion, executing the remove action, and verifying the related jobs and configuration for safe cleanup.
Learn to schedule backups in a Proxmox Ceph high-availability cluster by selecting the VM, setting the backup day and time, and creating a snapshot for automated data protection.
Demonstrates VM live migration in a Proxmox Ceph high-availability cluster, migrating a VM and templates from one node to another with zero packet loss and no downtime.
Configure a proxmox high-availability cluster by creating a node group and enabling automatic vm regeneration on another node when a host goes down.
Create and deploy an LXC container in Proxmox using a downloaded template, configure resources, network settings, and dynamic IP allocation, then start and verify accessibility.
Entreprises or large corporation have started to virtualize thier environments a couple years ago.
That that means is that rather than buying hundreds of servers on metal for each service, they buy that one or two big fat servers and run many servers as virtual machines on those.
They use technologies like KVM or QEMU very often on VMWare ESX Servers. These solution are entrprise scale and so is their price tag.
Proxmox provides virtualization, lunix containers and others Entreprise features.
Such as software define storage, replication, backup, thin storage provisionning as well as high availability and many more.
This course will help you to build your first High Available and Scalable Cluster which will be easy to extend with extra storage space or add extra compute power with NO downtime. The cluster will remain up, even in a case when one or more servers go completely down.
This course includes essential knowledge and skill which will help you to build your first production ready redundant cluster with Proxmox and Ceph. Both Proxmox and Ceph are proven by time technologies.
Proxmox is a Virtualization platform that includes the most wanted enterprise features such as live migration, high availability groups, and backups.
Ceph is a reliable and highly scalable storage solution designed for performance and reliability. With ceph storage, you may extend storage space on the fly with no downtime at all! My goal to show that Ceph is not a black magic box, but a smart solution which can be easy to install and manage.
This is an introductory course which aimed to help to obtain essential skills and knowledge to build your first High Availability Cluster.
If you heard or even tried OpenStack, but found it either too complicated for your environment, then the most likely you will enjoy this course as it is aimed for small deployments.
Please note that at the moment I was writing the course the version of Proxmox was 7.
