Today I fully automated my homelab with proxmox, Talos and Ansible and integrated the new cluster into my fluxCI AND I built the blueprint for an automated VMWare to proxmox migration demo (also using Ansible) for my client by accident. Includes documentation, simple tests and it's actually all idempotent.

I had a previous setup that I wasn't really happy with because it was messy mix of my IaaS code that I then vibe coded upon. Just didn't behave coherently. Moved my Kubernetes workloads back to my arch desktop for now and will migrate back some time tomorrow. Still lots do to. Will also have to dig deeper into what proxmox can offer besides VMs, live migrations and ceph cluster support.

Finished all that in about 5h, thanks to the speed provided by grok-coder-fast-1. I wasted 1h in the beginning because my instructions just weren't that good. Great experience in total though. This way of working definitely sharpens the way you communicate your ideas and goals. Every senior engineer should try this some time, especially if they're often helping out coaching juniors.

Thanks Cline for the free trial! It would've taken days to craft this by hand. I also hate writing YAML by hand.
