Hypervisor Setup for Private DataCenter(Proxmox)
  

The "Hypervisor Setup for Private DataCenter (Proxmox)" project aims to design, implement, and document a robust virtualization environment using Proxmox Virtual Environment (Proxmox VE) as the hypervisor platform. The focus of this project is on setting up a private data center infrastructure that can efficiently manage virtual machines and containers, ensuring high availability, scalability, and security.

1. Design Virtualization Infrastructure: Architect the virtualization infrastructure using Proxmox VE, considering hardware resources, network configuration, and storage requirements.

2. Hypervisor Deployment: Install and configure Proxmox VE on designated hardware nodes, enabling a centralized management interface for creating, managing, and monitoring virtual machines and containers.

3. High Availability Configuration: Implement Proxmox VE's built-in clustering features to ensure high availability and fault tolerance. Set up a cluster of hypervisor nodes with shared storage and seamless failover.

4. Networking Setup: Configure network bridges, VLANs, and firewall rules to provide isolated network segments for virtual machines and containers while maintaining secure communication.

5. Storage Configuration: Set up various storage types, such as local storage, network storage (NFS, Ceph), and Proxmox's ZFS integration, to efficiently manage and allocate storage resources.

6. Virtual Machine Management: Create and manage virtual machines using templates and snapshots. Explore options for automatic scaling, load balancing, and live migrations.

7. Container Deployment: Utilize Proxmox's support for Linux containers (LXC) to create lightweight and isolated application environments, optimizing resource utilization.

At the project's conclusion, there will be a well-documented and functional hypervisor setup using Proxmox VE, capable of managing virtual machines and containers in a private data center environment. The deliverables will include setup guides, architecture diagrams, backup strategies, monitoring dashboards, and a presentation illustrating the project's objectives and achievements.
