Backup Retention Guard
Defines retention policies and simulates backup pruning and compliance checks.
VM & Container Lifecycle
Deploy, configure, snapshot and migrate VMs and LXC containers.
The VM and container management layer exposes every lifecycle action through both the UI and API. You can attach storage, network interfaces and PCI/GPU devices, apply Cloud-Init templates, and schedule snapshots with retention pruning.
Bulk deployers let you provision dozens of VMs or containers from a spec, while the rolling update orchestrator safely evacuates, patches and reboots nodes. The migration planner helps you choose the best target host, and hibernation scheduling preserves memory state while reclaiming resources.
