Course NT-PVEI Proxmox VE: Deployment, Administration, and Support
The Proxmox VE: Deployment, Administration, and Support course focuses on practical work with the Proxmox VE server virtualization platform.
During the course, participants will learn to administer virtual machines and Linux containers, configure networks and data storage, manage clusters and high availability, integrate Ceph, and implement backup and infrastructure recovery procedures.
Special attention is given to migrating virtual machines from VMware ESXi, monitoring, and troubleshooting.
After completing this course, students will be able to:
- Install, configure, and update Proxmox VE.
- Create and administer virtual machines and LXC containers.
- Configure virtual networks, security rules, and access permissions.
- Create and manage storage based on ZFS, LVM-thin, NFS, and iSCSI.
- Migrate virtual machines from VMware ESXi.
- Create and administer Proxmox VE clusters and configure high availability and replication.
- Deploy Ceph and diagnose its operation.
- Configure backup and recovery using Proxmox Backup Server.
- Monitor infrastructure, troubleshoot issues, and recover infrastructure after failures.
