Proxmox virtualisation with VM backup
Service consolidation on a managed virtual environment with a separate backup and recovery verification process.
Starting point
Services ran in a distributed environment, while updates, workload moves and disaster recovery required a consistent operating model.
Technology scope
What we implemented
- deployment of Proxmox VE and separation of services into virtual machines
- workload migration in an agreed sequence and maintenance windows
- backup schedule, retention policy and a controlled recovery test
- environment documentation and basic incident procedures
Operational outcome
- one management plane for resources and virtual machines
- a repeatable backup process instead of ad-hoc copies
- simpler planning for updates, migrations and service recovery
