I recently spent lot of time on reading articles from Linux Magazine, as it always introduce pretty new (or not new, but less known) technology and products, this time it is Proxmox, an open source virtualization product.

I’m running VMWare Go at home at this moment, but I failed to solve the license issue and every 60 days I have to re-install everything. I guess I got the wrong ISO, so what I installed was actually for vSphere, but I just don’t want to spend too much time on digging it out as obviously VMWare does not want people get the right solution easily.

Xen is another story, at least to me it is not easy to use, maybe next version will be easier (I should take a try either but I lack of machines …). Also, I still have this impression that running Ubuntu with Xen is painful as it is, kind of, tightly bundled with RedHat distro.

Now here comes Proxmox which seems promising, I will take a try today (may be weekend as well) and then if it works I will stick with it, but if not … I will try out Xen.

Let’s see.

  1. I installed proxmox and things are running well so far, I will leave it running there for some time for some days before checking back.

  2. Pretty good, I’m running 5 VMs over there now with pretty good performance, 4 of them are 1 CPU, 512M mem, and 10G disk, working as Cassandra server, and the 5th is 1 CPU, 256M mem, 10G disk which running as LVS director.

    Looks good ๐Ÿ˜›
