In this video, I take a deep dive into PegaProx, which is a tool that completely changes how you manage multiple Proxmox clusters. If you’ve ever struggled with visibility, DRS for Proxmox, or managing resources across clusters, this is a solution you need to see. PegaProx gives you centralized management, automation, DRS-like load balancing, and even ESXi migration capabilities into a single interface. For anyone coming from VMware vSphere, this is the best vCenter Server for Proxmox solution out there. I walk through the features and whether this is something that I recommend running in your Proxmox home lab.
