I was a VMware admin. I drank the freakin koolaid. Got the certs. I was planning on a career as an architect. Did ok.

Then Broadcom. Fukers.

My boss said screw em, we go Proxmox. So now I live and breathe Proxmox.
PVE is a heap of janky hax, so you gotta get expert real fast.
PBS is cutting edge software that breaks twice a week, so ya gotta get expert real fast.
And now I’m an expert. Especially at PBS. DR. Site-to-site. I can do that shit.

Now that I have this new skillset, where can I use it?
Who’s using Proxmox?

    It’s not a good idea to “yes man” every ask without consideration for long term supportability.

    What you mentioned isn’t the mark of a good admin, just one with a technical skill set that doesn’t question methodology at the whims of management. This eventually leads to poor planning, large tech debt, and burnout.

      If you lack the skill to make such claims, then keep company with your own doubts.
      I can build anything.

      Anything.
