Proxmox and cloudstack

Morning guys,

Has anyone tested the compatibility between proxmox and cloudstack.
Cloudstack does support KVM, and proxmox uses kvm, but I would like to hear
some feedbacks.


Thanks as asual
Regards

morning!


In my experience, I was able to migrate VM disks that had been created in
Proxmox, without any difficulty.

The only detail is to ensure that in Proxmox the VM disks are in QCOW2
format. Being in QCOW2, simply upload the disk as a template to Cloudstack
and then create the VM using this template.

I didn't have a problem here either (with Windows Server editions).

If it is a Windows Desktop edition that requires the TPM security component
(for example Windows 11), it is also possible to boot, but it requires
adjustments to the KVM virtualization host.

However, it could be a great option to have Cloudstack as an orchestration
mechanism for Proxmox working on Proxmox tooling without highly obscure and
hard-to-troubleshoot Cloudstack router, savm, cpvm. Just dreaming :)

Cloudstack has custom compute offering, it allows for changing cores, ram,
etc. But, in general, Proxmox can be more convenient for small deployments
when a single server is enough.

Proxmox everything is good and convenience . The only issue is do not have
IP management where you have to manage your own IP allocation manually.

Cloudstack have very difficult issue. is on Changing compute offering. /
Scalling of a VM .   Example,if you want to upgrade the ram from eg 3G to
4G,  or 1Core to 2 core etc, there is no fast way to do, you have to create
a new compute offering and then apply to a VM.   If you need frequently to
change this value, i think is a nightmare

Cloudstack is good for mass creating vm with same spec.  Proxmox is to
configure it one by one.

I believe Windows based VM's in Proxmox have an issue on booting up properly when on KVM hosts. We are also seeing this in Cloudstack
