  Proxmox Virtual Environment (Proxmox VE) is an open-source server
  virtualization platform that combines KVM hypervisor and LXC containers,
  software-defined storage and networking, and clustering and high-
  availability features in a single web-managed solution. The Proxmox VE API
  exposes all platform operations under /api2/json on port 8006, including
  node, cluster, storage, pool, and access management endpoints. Supported
  authentication methods include stateless API tokens (PVEAPIToken header)
  and ticket-based sessions issued via /access/ticket.
