This PDM software is not going to be stable. Its a brand new 1.0 product from a company that moves fast and breaks shit. I doubt they went a single day without releasing patches for this thing.
I have a collection of the PDM alpha releases. That was some of the raw-est most-uncooked spaghetti I’ve ever seen served up by a software company. There is no way they got this thing across the finish line. It’s gonna have issues.
That said, this vcenter-like hyper-hypervisor console showed some promise. It provided one brand new capability, hot vmotion between clusters. While the data displayed about clusters and hosts had a janky feel, it was some sort of common interface.
A poor start, but a start nonetheless.
I dunno. It wasn’t useful enough for me. I’ll look at it again later.
I’m slowly working PVE 9 and PBS 4 into my environment, now that they’ve aged to a .1 rev, and that’s got me plenty busy.
Claiming that PDM is a buggy mess because you had bad experiences with a alpha release is a bold statement.
I haven’t tested it but according to the Proxmox team they have put it though a bunch of testing. There will always be bugs but in general when Proxmox calls something stable it is stable.
