Key virtualization and storage components are bumped as well:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>ZFS 2.3.3 (now supporting add-on devices to existing RAIDZ pools with minimal downtime)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>QEMU 10.0.2<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>LXC 6.0.4<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ceph Squid 19.2.3<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most requested capabilities is also here: snapshot support for VMs on thick-provisioned LVM shared storage, including iSCSI and Fibre Channel SANs. Proxmox implements this via volume chains, where a child volume tracks differences from its parent snapshot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, the same snapshot-as-volume-chain model extends to Directory, NFS, and CIFS backends, giving admins a storage-vendor-independent way to manage snapshots without leaning on clustered filesystems or proprietary hooks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the networking side, Proxmox introduces SDN Fabrics to simplify building routed, resilient topologies\u2014think two-layer spine-leaf designs with multipath between nodes and automatic NIC failover. The SDN stack now supports dynamic routing via OpenFabric and OSPF, making it easier to stand up EVPN underlays or Ceph full-mesh networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>High Availability clusters gain HA Resource Affinity Rules, offering fine-grained control over how workloads are distributed. For example, a database and its application server can be pinned to the same node for minimal latency. At the same time, redundant mission-critical services can be spread across nodes to maximize fault tolerance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lastly, the mobile interface has been completely reworked using the Rust-based Yew framework and the new Proxmox widget toolkit. It now offers quick service overviews, guest start\/stop controls, and basic configuration\u2014making it far easier to manage VMs on the go from any mobile browser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check out the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.proxmox.com\/en\/about\/company-details\/press-releases\/proxmox-virtual-environment-9-0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">announcement<\/a>&nbsp;or review the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/pve.proxmox.com\/wiki\/Roadmap#Proxmox_VE_9.0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">full changelog<\/a>&nbsp;for the complete list of changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Proxmox Virtual Environment 9.0 is available for download at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.proxmox.com\/downloads\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Proxmox\u2019s official site<\/a>.
