Common questions
Do I need my own Proxmox server?
No. The labs provide a Proxmox VE environment that runs in your browser. You deploy VMs, containers, storage, and networking without any hardware of your own.
Is this course useful for teams moving off VMware?
Yes. Many organizations are adopting Proxmox VE as their VMware replacement, and this course covers the deployment and management skills that transition requires.
I already run Proxmox VE 8 — is this course still relevant?
The course teaches the current Proxmox VE 9 release. If you manage VE 8 systems today, the VE 8 lab libraries also include labs that walk through the 8-to-9 upgrade itself.
How long do I have access?
Your purchase includes 4 months of access to the course content and labs. Learners with an academic (.edu) email qualify for reduced pricing.
