Proxmox Datacenter Manager 1.1 has landed, and it may be the most important PDM release yet! In this video, I take a look at the new automated installation feature that allows you to deploy Proxmox hosts using answer files. Also, we look at other new features like centralized subscription management, Ceph monitoring and health visibility, local PDM metrics, and the new world map view. If you’re running Proxmox in a home lab or you have it running in production and want a better way to manage multiple clusters, I think these new features are worth a close look.
