25+ years in IT, have used AWS, GCP, Azure, but never really an on prem virtualization system. So I'm new to Vmware, Proxmox, etc. I'm setting up a Proxmox lab with 8 hosts totalling 448 cores, 2tb ram, 16tb ssd, 200tb hdd (cephfs&rbd), a handful of Tik switches and routers and more wires than I count.
I started doing some trial VM and container installations and quickly grew weary at the notion of installing a bunch of linux machines from scratch just to run basic workloads like lamp and ansible semaphore. In comes turnkey, wow how easy!
I anticipate participating in the forum throughout my process that I hope will eventually grow into a semi-production environment backed up by a few AWS instances that will fire if I have a catastrophic event affecting my physical hosts.
