FYI: Ionos also launched a cluster-api machine-provider for proxmox

May worth a look:
https://github.com/ionos-cloud/cluster-api-provider-proxmox

I don't know how the projects differ especially of maturity.
But I didn't want to withhold the news from you.

hmmm interesting...
should we propose to merge our repo ?

I would like to see how good there provider work but at the moment i ran into 2#.
What i can say so far from a user perspective i miss these feature in the ionos provider:

• dhcp for nodes
• auto download of images
• the options of the qume-scheduler
• no proxmox-ccm

On the other hand i like these things on the ions provider:

• development with tilt
• flavors for cni for simpler use
• creation with vmtemplate-id
• simpler crd's (but properly far less functions)

All in all on the first look of a user our/your provider looks better but i like the fact that is backed by a company.

Why not ask them to merge our/your provider or adopt big parts of it?
But i would definitely love to adopt things like sonar or documentation and tilt.

At the end I don't think it helps anyone to develop two providers.

yeah I don't want to waste my time on duplicate work. let's ask them firstly

fyi I opened an issue on their repo
ionos-cloud/cluster-api-provider-proxmox#24

[3deep5me]

Hi. Just FYI, I replied to ionos-cloud/cluster-api-provider-proxmox#24 - feel free to move the discussion there. In short, yes, we're interested in merging.
