Course Description

This course introduces learners to Proxmox Virtual Environment (Proxmox VE), a powerful open-source platform for virtualization and container management. Proxmox allows you to run multiple operating systems, services, and applications on a single physical server—turning it into your own private cloud or data center.

Throughout the course, you will:

• Understand the fundamentals of virtualization and containers.

• Install and configure Proxmox VE on real or virtual hardware.

• Create and manage Virtual Machines (VMs) and Linux Containers (LXC).

• Explore networking, storage, and backup strategies within Proxmox.

• Build your own virtual lab environment for data science, AI projects, or IT practice.

By the end of this course, you will have the skills to design, deploy, and manage your own Proxmox-based infrastructure—whether for learning, business, or research.
