Hey everybody. I found this interesting. It’s likely not a game changer for anyone, but “hardware” watchdogs in Proxmox was a new one for me, and was a cheap and easy, hacky fix to deal with a low value VM that was periodically hanging. This is a nice tool to add to the belt, hope you all enjoy!
You’re absolutely right! I’d point you back to my notion of cost-benefit analysis. Anything more than the 20min that I’ve spent on analysis so far isn’t worth my time. If the VM falls over permanently, that was a risk and my time savings has already been worth that risk. If I were looking at something like a production file server or domain controller, sure – I’d spend more time on it. Likely though, I’d just have engineered it better in the first place. Not every problem warrants a high precision solution. 🙂
