SuperbSuperbe livre sur Proxmox, permet de faire le tour de l'outil. Pourrait être plus poussé sur certains points mais vraiment correct pour un niveau débutant/moyen.

Great overview of many of the technologies that make up Proxmox. Having used Proxmox for nearly 5 years now, there wasn't too much new in here for me, but it had everything in it that someone would need to pick it up and get moving.I do wish it would go a bit more in-depth on things like OVS, but since those aren't Proxmox products and are merely integrated, I can see why they dont.Looking forward to third edition.

I am a technical reviewer of this book and Wasim has done a superb job of guiding the reader through the advanced aspects of Proxmox virtualization with samples, diagrams, and explanations that will enhance the readers ability to work with and master all that Proxmox has to offer.If your getting started with Proxmox and are ready to take the platform to it's next level in your environment this is a book that you will value on your shelf.ThanksRocco Alfonzetti

Ich habe mir das Buch gekauft, um mehr Infos über Proxmox zu erhalten. Vor allem über Commandline Befehle und die Optionen / Einstellmöglichkeiten im Webinterface.Leider hat der Autor nicht alles niedergeschrieben, weshalb ich Kleinigkeiten dennoch googlen muss. Ansonsten wird allerdings gerade für blutige Anfänger alles sehr gut erklärt.

This books reads like a man page. A lot of definitions and obvious explanations. Nothing you can't get from online materials. Absolutely no "deep dive" material that I was expecting. If you are trying to use Proxmox for a casual home server, this book is probably fine, but if you need advanced features/tuning/best practices, this book is worthless.To give 1 example, adding a secondary drive to create new volumes is not straight forward. Not discussed. What about system load implications of running backups? Not discussed. I could go on..Proxmox(KVM) is a great product, and is used by major hosting companies, however they all keep their "secret sauce" to themselves. Do a lot of testing and create your own best practices if you are scaling this.
