In a previous blog post, I reviewed the new features of Proxmox VE 9.0. Proxmox VE 9.1 arrives with several impactful upgrades, including the ability to create LXC containers directly from OCI images, eliminating the need for separate LXC templates. The release also introduces qcow2-based TPM state storage for fully snapshot-friendly vTPM setups and adds granular nested-virt CPU flag control for more flexible virtualization. Alongside an improved SDN interface and core component updates, these enhancements significantly reduce admin friction and streamline VM and container management.

Proxmox Datacenter Manager (PDM) is a brand new, open-source platform designed to provide centralized management and monitoring for Proxmox VE clusters and nodes. Launched in late 2024, PDM offers a modern web interface that simplifies large-scale virtualization administration across multiple datacenters. As organizations seek alternatives to VMware’s increasingly costly and restrictive ecosystem, Proxmox Datacenter Manager emerges as a promising vCenter competitor for cost-effective and flexible enterprise virtualization management.
