Yea either failover or an active/active virtual switch… I’ve been toying with hyperconverged infrastructure and I wanted to bring my network infra into the fold, been looking at OVS. Not for any particular use case, just to learn how it works and I really like the concept of horizontally scaling out my entire infra just by plugging in another box of commodity hardware. Also been toying with a concept of automatically bootstrapping the whole thing.
I’m looking at Talos on my Proxmox cluster as VMs. I’m trying to automate it all through ansible and currently stuck trying to bootstrap my secrets manager. Somewhat of an analysis paralysis at the moment. Thinking of using a cloud hosted one with some kind of a local passthrough cache in case the WAN connection gets disrupted.
