Virtual MachineSet

VirtualMachineSet is a way to create multiple VirtualMachines in Proxmox. The relationship between VirtualMachineSet and VirtualMachine is similar to the relationship between Deployment and Pod. VirtualMachineSet creates multiple VirtualMachine resources and Kubemox will create them for you in Proxmox. You can only use VirtualMachineSet with templates. Creating multiple VirtualMachines from scratch is not supported yet.

Creating VirtualMachineSet

To create a new virtual machine in Proxmox, you need to create a VirtualMachineSet object. VirtualMachineSet allows you to create multiple VirtualMachines from a template.
