No April Fools' joke - the new #ProxLB release is scheduled for the 1st of April! Stay tuned!

ProxLB is an advanced #loadbalancer for #Proxmox clusters that brings in features like #DRS (known from #VMware), #maintenance mode and (anti-)#affinity groups.

What do you miss in #Proxmox or #XCPng?

My customers often told me, that when migrating from #VMware based setups, they would miss something like #DRS. As a result I published #ProxLB as a load balancer. Now, I do the same for #DPM and also some other things. What do you miss or what stops you or your business from switching to Proxmox or XCPng?

I get more & more mails from people who are happily using my #ProxLB (a loadbalancer for Proxmox) - feel free to leave me a note (if you like, even with some more details). This way, I can better understand the needs of the user base.

#ProxLB - A loadbalancer for Proxmox clusters!

The Prox Load Balancer (ProxLB) helps you to rebalance your Container and VM workloads across your nodes in your Proxmox cluster. It is similar to VMware's DRS (Dynamic Resource Scheduler) which allows you to balance your cluster by memory, CPU or local storage usage to ensure an equal distribution within the cluster. With affinity & anti-affinity groups you can also create groups where objects should be moved to a different groups as a whole unit or even forbid to be scheduled on the same node (e.g. HA setups).

You can find more information at GitHub: https://github.com/gyptazy/ProxLB

Virtualization & Proxmox were trending topics in this year and the opportunity of #opensource projects to rise! With #ProxLB you can get features like #DRS (known from #VMware) into #Proxmox, but also several other features that are still missing in Proxmox. Open-Source products provide us the possibility to extend it to our needs.

#ProxLB - the #LoadBalancer for #Proxmox just got released in version 1.0.5.

ProxLB adds features like #DRS from #VMware, node evacuation etc. to Proxmox and is fully #opensource

#ProxLB evolved in a very quick way and I got more & more feature requests and ideas from you guys and that’s great! However, the code base for this was never crafted in that way and I’m refactoring the code - stay tuned!

Running #Enterprise or #Homelab with #Proxmox? Doesn’t matter!

#ProxLB is now available in version 1.0.4 with some more features and fixes! ProxLB fills the gap of missing DRS in Proxmox and also brings in some more features!

https://github.com/gyptazy/ProxLB/releases/tag/v1.0.4

You asked for it - you get it! #ProxLB now also supports evacuating a #Proxmox node by live migrating the VMs to other nodes in the cluster.

This is feature in now in main and will be part of release 1.0.4. You can find more about my ProxLB project at: https://github.com/gyptazy/ProxLB

Do you already know #ProxLB for #Proxmox clusters?

ProxLB is fully #opensource and brings some additional features into Proxmox that you might be missing after migrating from #Broadcom #VMware just like #DRS or #StorageDRS. This is where ProxLB jumps in and offers #loadbalancing features - free and opensource under the #GPLv3. ProxLB is packaged, can be installed from a .deb file, repository or run as an orchestrator in a container and fully utilizes the Proxmox API without any ssh access.

“Welsh town first to trial 10p bottle and can return scheme across community”https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/sep/28/welsh-town-first-to-trial-10p-bottle-and-can-return-scheme-across-community

For least 20 years it’s been talked about, when EU countries have implemented #DRS effective schemes as long back as the 90s. Litter becomes a resource when it is given a value, then people psychologically are far less likely to throw it away. I understand the studies on the 10p level, but Corona bottles had 10p return in the 70s.

#Wales is it enough to return? #CircularEconomy

"A ban would require an exclusion to the Internal Market Act - which would require UK government consent." this blocks a #CircularEconomy & #DRSCymru #drs

Nothing should be thrown away or burnt!
