Very low resource utilization allows for reliable service hosting - Recommend deploying critical services that require high availability 2. **Resource Optimization** - Consider if full 108 GB storage is necessary - Current 4-core CPU is sufficient for moderate workloads - 16 GB RAM adequate for typical production services 3. **High Availability** - Consider clustering with staging environment - Implement backup strategy (storage supports backups) - Enable monitoring and alerting 4. **Capacity Planning** - Plan for growth beyond 108 GB storage - Monitor CPU utilization as workloads increase - Plan for memory expansion if needed ### For Staging Cluster 1. **Current State Optimization** - 58 VMs with mixed running/stopped status - 46 stopped VMs using storage capacity - Recommend cleanup of unused VMs 2. **Performance Tuning** - LVM thin provisioning is good for space efficiency - Consider enabling storage tiering with local backup storage - Monitor VM performance during peak testing 3. **Development Efficiency** - Excellent capacity for concurrent testing - Multiple template support (templates visible in storage) - Good infrastructure for CI/CD pipelines 4. **Disaster Recovery** - Current storage supports backups - Recommend regular backup schedule for critical VMs - Cross-cluster backup strategy with production ### Overall Infrastructure Recommendations 1. **Multi-Cluster Management** - Use MCP server for unified management - Implement load balancing between clusters - Centralized monitoring and alerting 2. **Backup & Disaster Recovery** - Configure automated backups to production cluster - Test recovery procedures regularly - Maintain backup retention policies 3. **Security** - Review network segmentation between clusters - Implement RBAC across clusters - Monitor access logs 4. **Scaling Strategy** - Production ready for workload increase - Staging has room for more VMs - Consider cluster expansion plans --- ## Technical Specifications ### Cluster Configuration **Both Clusters Using:** - Proxmox Virtual Environment (PVE) Version: 9.0.11 -
