Proxmox Cloud Module
======================

.. versionadded:: 2014.7.0

The Proxmox cloud module is used to control access to cloud providers using
the Proxmox system (KVM / OpenVZ / LXC).

Set up the cloud configuration at ``/etc/salt/cloud.providers`` or
 ``/etc/salt/cloud.providers.d/proxmox.conf``:

.. code-block:: yaml

    my-proxmox-config:
      # Proxmox account information
      user: myuser@pam or myuser@pve
      password: mypassword
      url: hypervisor.domain.tld
      port: 8006
      driver: proxmox
      verify_ssl: True

.. warning::
    This cloud provider will be removed from Salt in version 3009.0 in favor of
    the `saltext.proxmox Salt Extension
    <https://github.com/salt-extensions/saltext-proxmox>`_
