curious i see all this talk of proxmox and kvm, wondering why nobody is using XCP-NG ofor VMs with management ui, or ven StarlingX for that matter. If your into kubernetes and working on k8s/virtualization.

    Xcp is a lot stricter, for good or bad. For proxmox it’s fine to have networks on each host that looks roughly the same. For xcp, the network has to ne 1:1 equal to be in the same pool. This makes proxmox much easier to deal with administratively. But for xcp the upside is that there’s no guesswork involved, which is much more stable. Not that proxmox is unstable, but it’s not like it never crashes. I have yet to see xcp crash even once over several years I’ve messed with it.

      That’s it true. You can have different networks in one pool. I have a Host with 4 NICs and a second with 2 just 2 NICs in one pool but you can’t move VMs between both hosts if your VM has a notiere attached that is not present at the second host.
