Interesting,
I've automated deployment with SDNET and templates, but the other stuff you're doing with terraform is more akin "Orchestration" There must be some GUI for terraform that works with proxmox.
I guess you could do the same with expansible and playbooks but it sounds like you're looking for something with a GUI that does the work for you.
I can't think of any, but proxmox does have an API ... wondering why no one has done this yet ....
I don't use any GUI... I use terraform in the terminal or via CI/CD. There is an API and also a Terraform provider for Proxmox, and I can use that, together with Ansible and shell scripts to manage VMs, but I was looking for k8s support.
Again, it works fine for small environments, with a bit of manual work and human intervention, but for larger ones, I need a bit more. I moved away from a few VMs acting as k8s nodes, to k8s as a service (at work).
