Section 5 of 10The Solution
The Solution: The "Wise Cluster" 💡
The solution is to replace all 10 rental instances with a single, resilient system: a Proxmox Cluster built from 10 ZimaBoard 2 servers.
- Wise Cluster (ELI5): Instead of one giant, expensive truck that carries everything, we are buying a fleet of 10 small, smart delivery vans for $2,900. If one van gets a flat tire, the other 9 simply pick up its packages. Nobody even notices. This is High Availability at a fraction of the cost of a traditional server.
