PVE recently a new version V6.0, the new version introduces looked at the official website and new features demo out, or expected, proxmox or from the ease of use, from the human point of view to look at the use of the product, as long as from web-based front desk achieve the function, not on principle and resolutely implement the back-end command line (purely personal guess makes up), to further enhance the ease of use of the product PVE.
Here is the official website of the new features of Proxmox VE 6.0:
Operating system version Debian Buster 10, the kernel Linux Kernel 5.0
QEMU 4.0, LXC 3.1.0 (container assembly), Corosync 3.0.2 (cluster components)
Proxmox Cluster Stack with Corosync 3 using Kronosnet
Many new features Ceph 14.2 (Nautilus) and Ceph management dashboard
On the local storage of virtual machines, support for live migration
Encryption support the Ceph OSD and ZFS
For me, V6.0 version has three places significant improvements:
1, Guards of new features, local disk virtual machine live migration to achieve
The V6.0 version has a new feature Guards, the virtual machine on the host local disk (local disk) and heat transfer can be achieved!
There was general knowledge, the case of hot migration is generally used in distributed storage, or shared disks can be achieved, PVE eliminates this restriction. This feature is more enriched with specific application scenarios, such as some of the distributed storage is not cold, is like to use local storage, we are now able to use live migration of a virtual machine.
2, zero command line to achieve Cluster Setup
I found proxmox have a continuous improvement idea is to zero the command line! This is for many users of open source products, it is no direct poked the user's heart Wowo (do not went wrong), so sweet.
The web administration interface, you do not need to configure anything dual NIC bond, no need to install complicated and complex clustering software cluster configuration, even if it does not need to enter a command!
All physical servers host only need to install the PVE environment, and then create a cluster on the first node to join the cluster (copy and paste keys) in the second node, the third node joins the cluster (copy and paste keys) , fourth a node joins the cluster (copy and paste keys) . . . . Bin.
3, zero command line, build and implement cluster management ceph
Through a web interface, no need to configure yum install ceph source clustering software, no need to configure a bunch of ceph cluster parameters, direct point ceph, will prompt the next step (Install the software automatically in the background) , the next step (ceph configuration parameters) , the next step, get away .
Through the web interface, you can be well managed ceph cluster, for example, view each ceph service location, status, version, stop OSD disk, mon, mds, and launched OSD disk, mon, mds and so on.
According to this trend, I think VMware is not a few years, to begin to free up. As everyone familiar with ProxmoxVE, as well as the market gradually recognition of ProxmoxVE products, open source virtualization products are widely used I think is inevitable.
