I'm in the process of building a high-availability cluster using a mix of server nodes. Currently, I'm running Proxmox on all of them and previously tried using lightweight Linux distros with Docker Swarm. However, I've faced quite a few challenges with Docker Swarm, and I'm thinking about switching to Kubernetes even though I don't have career aspirations tied to it. My goal is simply to deploy containers, have load balancing, and ensure high availability without needing to tweak things constantly after the initial setup. After researching for a couple of weeks, I believe using Proxmox with Talos VMs is the way to go. Before I invest a lot of time in this migration, I'd appreciate any advice or considerations to keep in mind. Thanks!

Consider why you need high availability in the first place. If your cluster is on the smaller side, you might want to simplify things by using a lightweight option like k3s. It's easier to manage and still gets most of the job done for a home lab!
Using Proxmox with Talos is a solid choice! It's generally more streamlined and user-friendly compared to your current setup, and it should make managing your cluster a lot smoother. Plus, it aligns well with your goals for high availability and minimal intervention after setup.
