Proxmox Datacenter Manager (PDM) is finally in beta, and it’s shaping up to be something special. Nearly a year after the alpha release, the PDM Beta brings a ton of enhancements — from EVPN-based SDN overlays and role-based access control (RBAC) to real-time concurrent metrics polling, Linux PSI integration, and expanded localization. In this video, I take a full look at what’s new since the alpha, how it’s evolving, and what it might mean for the future of Proxmox’s multi-cluster management. I’ll walk through the biggest feature updates, performance improvements, and UI refinements. If you’ve ever wanted a vCenter-style management console for Proxmox, this is one you don’t want to miss. 🔗 Official Links & References 🧭 PDM Wiki & Roadmap: :Proxmox_Datacenter_Manager 🧱 PDM Alpha Release Thread: 🧩 Proxmox VE 9 & Debian Trixie Notes: **GET SOCIAL AND MORE WITH US HERE!** Get help with your Homelab, ask questions, and chat with us! 🎮 **Check out HomeLab Gear for all your homelab needs!** 💿 Subscribe and follow us on all the socials, would ya? 📸 💻 Find all things 2GT on our website! 🌍 More of a podcast kinda person?
