Virtual Machines

The Virtual Machines tab on the cluster details page shows the VMs that make up your cluster (primary / worker nodes), with power controls and resource metrics.

VM list

Each row shows the VM's name / IP / node (Proxmox host) / CPU / memory / disk / usage (CPU % / Mem % / Disk %) / status / Primary flag.

• Primary: the VM running the cluster's control plane
• The icon next to a VM name shows its AI upgrade recommendation state. A warning-coloured arrow means an upgrade is recommended — click it to see the diagnosis. Details: Upgrade

Power operations

Use the ⋮ menu at the end of a row, or the buttons at the top of the VM details panel, to start / stop / restart a VM (stop and restart ask for confirmation).

Caution: stopping the primary VM takes down cluster functions including the Kubernetes API. Stopping a worker also affects the Pods running on it.

VM details panel

Click a row to open the details panel on the right.

• Basic info: name / VM ID / IP address / node / role / join state / created at
• Power state with action buttons
• Resource usage: CPU / memory / disk (measured) plus metrics history
• Backups: create and restore VM backups from this panel. See Backups for the available settings and modes

Adding worker nodes

Add a worker node with the Add VM button on the tab, or from the ⋮ menu at the top right of the page. The added capacity is billed from the next billing cycle.

How this differs from the sidebar "Virtual Machines" page

The Virtual Machines entry in the sidebar lists VMs across all your clusters (for usage overview). Per-cluster power operations and backups are done from the cluster-details tab described on this page.
