Welcome and What to Expect?
If you are reading this, welcome to what I hope is the best and most robust homelab community on the internet! Not only that, but I hope this is the best hands on Proxmox course you will have came across and ever need to understand all the ins and outs of Proxmox to be a power user within your homelab or within a professional environment!
About Me:
Who am I? Well I am Abe! I have an educational background in Cyber security where I hold a Bachlors and Masters degree in "Information Assurance and Cyber Security." I am also a Marine Corps veteran and currently participate as a Network Engineer part time in the National Guard. My full time job is within a SOC where we see over 5 MILLION daily users across our network, and I run one of the teams of super smart SOC analysts within that organization. I started my journey with computers at a professional or serious level in 2014. Since then, I really have not given computers up. I also love to travel, you will probably hear me talk about traveling at some point so do not forget to let me know where you love to travel to in the comments on our videos!

The Topology
If you would like to get an idea oh how we have the network setup, see the image below. For the purpose of this series, we are really only focusing on the three Proxmox nodes (Proxmox 1-3).
Proxmox Technology Overview
Here is a picture that explains how Proxmox as a software technology is setup. The bottom of the picture is the root Linux Debian OS, and the top of the image are the Proxmox services/tools you as the Proxmox admin will use to administer the environment.
