Marty,
Is a full integration planned for a future release?
I am not part of the contributors who developed this feature; thus, I do
not know if they plan to do that. Perhaps some of the developers of this
feature can chime in.
I am currently using XCP but would love to move to Proxmox since it natively
supports CEPH with RDB.
The CloudStack integration with KVM also supports Ceph; you can
introduce both "replicated" and "erasure code" pools to be consumed with
RBD in ACS+KVM. Furthermore, you could also work with CephFS on ACS; you
could mount the filesystem in a common directory in all the hosts and
introduce it as a "SharedMountPoint" primary storage. There are plans to
introduce CephFS as a protocol for primary storage in the future,
similarly to NFS.
However, the Ceph cluster is not managed by ACS, you must manage it
(create the cluster, create the pools, configure the CRUSH rules, create
the credentials, and so on) outside of ACS.
Best regards,
Daniel Salvador (gutoveronezi)

Hello Marty,
In addition to what Wei mentioned, the in-built extensions are intended
for demonstration and testing purposes, addressing only a few features.
Using Proxmox/HyperV (external providers) on CloudStack is not the same
as using VMware/KVM/Xen (long-time integrations); therefore, not all
workflows are addressed for Proxmox/HyperV.
BTW, it could be more clear and detailed in our doc...
Best regards,
Daniel Salvador (gutoveronezi)

Hi Marty,
Proxmox is supported as an extension provider, you can refer to

Hello,
I see that 4.21 has been released. I looked at the documentation, but I do
not see a setup guide for Proxmox like I do for the other hypervisors. When
setting up Proxmox, do you treat it like KVM?
Thank you for the help.
