Proxmox Virtual Environment 9.2 released

Proxmox Virtual Environment is an open-source server virtualization platform combining KVM hypervisor, LXC containers, software-defined storage and networking — all managed through a single web interface.

I use it everyday in my home lab for all my virtualization needs.

Version 9.2 is a major update bringing a Dynamic Load Balancer, enhanced SDN capabilities, and a new Linux kernel 7.0 default:

  Cluster Resource Scheduler uses real-time node and guest resource
  utilization metrics to balance HA-managed guests
  Automatic live migration to reduce node imbalance
  Respects HA rules, configurable parameters for administrator control

Software-Defined Networking
  WireGuard and BGP added as fabric options

  Web interface for creating, editing, and removing CPU profiles
  Integrated CPU flags selector showing node compatibility per cluster node

HA Manager
  Cluster-wide disarm/arm via new `disarm-ha` and `arm-ha` CRM commands
  Preserves HA resource states during maintenance windows

Virtual Machines (KVM/QEMU)
  Live snapshots for VMs with TPM on volume-chain storages
  TPM support on iSCSI and ZFS-over-iSCSI storages
  VNC clipboard support for machine version 10.1
  Extended aarch64 architecture support

Containers (LXC)
  Mount point options: `idmap` for UID/GID mappings, `keepattrs` for permission inheritance
  OCI image `User` property support
  seccomp filtering for AF_ALG socket protection
  Cgroup v1 deprecation warning

Security Fixes
  VNC session hijacking prevention
  VM.Console privilege requirement for HA resource assignment
  VM.PowerMgmt privilege enforcement for VM startup
