This book is informative, well-written and easy to read. It contains exactly what is written on the tin! :)As noted in the blurb: "This book is intended for server and system administrators and engineers who are eager to take advantage of the potential of virtual machines and containers to manage servers more efficiently and make the best use of resources, from energy consumption to hardware utilization and physical real estate". TBH I'm not really the target audience of this book (I've been using Proxmox casually for a few years now) but there were a few things I learned. As the title, "Learning Proxmox VE" suggests, this book it is more aimed at Proxmox beginners (I've been using Proxmox since version 1.6).For anyone who has minimal prior Proxmox knowledge, I have no doubt that this book will get you up to speed in no time. It contains enough information, that even if you haven't had much prior virtualisation experience, it will make sense; but won't insult your intelligence if you have already played with other virtualisation tools.

Both in-depth and simple to follow, this guide is a must-have.

This book is well written and clear, and is appropriate for a certain type of reader. My background- I have a moderate amount of virtualization experience using VirtualBox, and did a bit of reading and watching YouTube "how to" proxmox videos before buying this book. My hope was this book would take me to the next level and explain some of the sexy things proxmox can do, especially in the area of clustering and high availability. Unfortunately, intermediate and advanced topics are not covered at all in this book. It is written for someone who has moderate linux skills and doesn't really know anything about virtualization. If you are beyond that, don't waste your time and a good bit of money on this one. I was 2/3 of the way through the book (in slightly over an hour) before I learned anything of any real value to me.This book is rather short- just over 200 pages. A lot of those pages are taken up with big screen shots and a lot of white space... there might be 100 pages of "real content". To the author and editor- I recommend expanding the areas covered in this book to go beyond the very basics. There's just not enough material here for a $50 book.

I was an absolute beginner with ProxMox. For the $ this was a very short book and it didn't really give a whole lot of material that wasn't easily discovered via google. I did pick up a few tricks/pieces of info, so it wasn't totally for naught, but I really did expect a bit more.
