Proxmox VE Core Services

Proxmox VE relies on five essential services that enable cluster management, high availability, monitoring, and user interaction:

1. pvedaemon - Core service daemon
   Function: Processes user requests from web interface or command line (VM creation, storage configuration, backups).
   Characteristic: Directly invokes underlying commands (like qemu-system) to manage VMs. VM processes continue running even if PVE services crash.
2. pveproxy - Web interface and API service
   Function: Provides browser-based GUI and RESTful API for remote cluster management.
   Characteristic: Frontend uses ExtJS framework, backend gradually adopting Rust for performance improvements.
3. pvestatd - Status monitoring service
   Function: Collects real-time cluster status data including VM/container states, storage space, and network load.
   Characteristic: Synchronizes data across services for decision-making (like HA scheduling).
4. pve-cluster - Cluster communication service
   Function: Uses Corosync for distributed data synchronization, managing shared configurations and node state.
   Characteristic: Decentralized architecture allows any node to manage the entire cluster.
5. pve-ha-manager - High availability management
   Function: Comprises two sub-services:
   • pve-ha-lrm: Monitors local VM health
   • pve-ha-crm: Migrates VMs during node failures
     Characteristic: Enables automatic failvoer within 30 seconds during primary node outages.
