Proxmox is the proverbial onion metaphor. And to get a handle on how storage works, we need to peel back a few layers. We should expect some layered complexity in the storage model, after all we are dealing with requirements for both the host (main) application and all the guest application (Virtual machines and Containers) running under the host. Additionally the varying partition structures, drive arrays, and file systems will also increase the complexity of the system. (more…)

And no, this has noting to do with fantasy gaming. We can consider Realms to be various methods of authenticating and validating user.
