Continuing from where we left off in setting up Proxmox on Hetzner's dedicated servers, this video takes a giant leap forward into clustering and resource management. Ready for some advanced infrastructural configurations? Let's dive in!

The focus now shifts to expanding our setup with two additional Hetzner machines. We'll tackle the intricacies of assigning unique network configurations and managing DHCP settings for each. Understanding the nuances of these configurations is key, as it ensures seamless synchronization and connectivity among the nodes.

Our next big step involves the creation of two vswitches via Hetzner Robot. This move is pivotal in enabling our physical nodes to communicate over a private network, mimicking a local network environment. We'll guide you through setting up one vswitch for the nodes and another for the virtual machines, ensuring they interact as if on a single host.

Attention then turns to firewall configurations, where we'll demonstrate adding new rules to facilitate node communication and protect our network. It's all about striking the right balance between connectivity and security.

The video then delves into the critical setup of networking configurations. You'll learn how to assign IP addresses to nodes and understand the importance of setting the Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) for efficient data packet transfers. We'll also explain how to integrate these configurations into the Proxmox setup, ensuring smooth operation of your virtual machines.

As we approach the end, the tutorial takes an exciting turn into Ceph installation and configuration. Ceph, a highly scalable and efficient storage solution, is integral to our cluster's performance. We'll walk you through installing Ceph on each node, creating object store daemons (OSDs), and setting up various pools for different classes of drives.
