    Proxmox is getting there.

    HA: I implemented HA recently and even without a SAN or Ceph, you can get HA with ZFS replication to work. I have it HAing my OPNsense router amongst other VMs, and I’ve had it fail over flawlessly when a SAS card in one node shit the bed and dropped the node. I didn’t even notice it had failed over to another node until I looked at the logs.

    Vmotion: Live migration has worked well for a long time, doesn’t even drop a ping. I move nodes all the time for node upgrades and have never seen it fail.

    DRS: I haven’t seen this work yet and I only run 3 nodes with light workloads, so I can’t speak to how well it works. But it’s been there since 7.3

    PBS: this is a worthy competitor to Veeam. Great dedup, replication sync for backup, restores are painless at the file and the guest level.
