Advanced Administration and Optimization (VE 9)
Proxmox VE 9: Advanced Administration and Optimization
The Proxmox VE 9: Advanced Administration and Optimization labs continue from Setup and Management. You'll import virtual machines from VMware ESXi, Microsoft Hyper-V, and Oracle VirtualBox. You'll manage Proxmox VE through its API, deploy OCI containers, and build Ceph distributed storage. Other labs cover custom roles and API tokens, hookscripts, monitoring and alerts, Cloud-Init, data encryption, and advanced networking. A challenge lab without step-by-step guidance closes the series.

Using the Labs
Always select the correct lab exercise for the lab being performed. Students or teams should schedule the correct lab exercise from the catalog. NETLAB+ will only show those labs for which the required pod type is available. A lab that works on different pod types may appear more than once if your system is so equipped. Instructors should select the correct lab from the Exercise tab during instructor-led lab reservations. This can be done as many times as needed during the reservation.
