Proxmox VE Bundle (Deployment + Clustering)

Delivered by Linux Belgium, the first Proxmox Authorized Training Partner in Belgium. This bundle is the full Proxmox VE training programme: it combines the Proxmox VE - Deployment & Management course and the Proxmox VE - Clustering & Shared Storage course into a single 4-day curriculum delivered back-to-back. You walk in on day one without prior Proxmox VE experience and leave on day four ready to design, deploy and operate production clusters with shared storage, high availability and Ceph.

Bundle pricing: €2,760 + VAT for the 4-day combined programme - €220 + VAT cheaper than booking the two courses separately (Proxmox VE - Deployment & Management €1,490 + Proxmox VE - Clustering & Shared Storage €1,490 = €2,980 + VAT). Same official Proxmox Course Certification, same lab cluster, no scheduling friction between the two parts.

Prerequisites: IT background with general Linux skills (command-line experience). No prior Proxmox VE experience required - the bundle starts from the ground up in the Deployment & Management part before moving on to clustering and Ceph.

Part 1 - Proxmox VE Deployment & Management (2 days)

• PVE architecture and single-server deployment considerations
• Storage: ZFS, LVM, NFS, and SMB/CIFS for standalone deployments
• Networking: Linux bridging, interface bonding, integrated firewall, Software-Defined Network (SDN) basics
• Virtual machines and Linux containers (LXC): creation, cloning, Cloud-init, V2V/P2V migration, ESXi import
• Users & permissions, backup scheduling and retention
• CLI tools, hands-on usage and troubleshooting methodologies

Part 2 - Proxmox VE Clustering & Shared Storage (2 days)

• Cluster architecture, design considerations and quorum
• Cluster deployment, node addition and removal, SDN at scale
• Proxmox Backup Server: deployment, retention, encryption, verification, restore strategies
• Hyper-converged Ceph storage with Proxmox VE: pools, CRUSH map basics, monitoring
• ZFS replication for two-node and edge scenarios
• High Availability (HA) groups, fencing, failover behaviour and operational practices
• REST API and CLI automation for repeatable cluster operations
• Cluster troubleshooting: split-brain, storage, networking and HA scenarios

The bundle is the same content as taking Proxmox VE - Deployment & Management and Proxmox VE - Clustering & Shared Storage separately - just delivered back-to-back at a single discounted rate.

Target audience: System administrators, DevOps and infrastructure engineers who need the full Proxmox VE skillset (single-node through clustered, HA and Ceph) in one go. Also a fit for teams migrating from VMware where a single multi-day immersion is more practical than two split sessions.
