Proxmox VE dev here. Honestly, heard of Ganeti the first time today.

The basis of Proxmox VE is the real time replicated clustered configuration file system: https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/chapter-pmxcfs.html

I do not see anything similar for ganeti, also not much similar in general besides that it manages VMs?

Hi, thanks for the link, very interesting.

Indeed the similarity with Ganeti is only on the surface: being a scalable infrastructure management tool, DRBD as a first-class supported disk backend, etc.

The cluster replication and consensus model is very different: Ganeti has a single "master" node that makes all the decisions and replicates cluster state to other nodes.

Hi there! Are there any plans for Proxmox to support Firecracker (the Amazon's lightweight VM for containers).?
