Proxmox Virtual Environment 7.1 is highlighted by a range of new features, such as the ability to set backup retention per backup job via GUI. This means users can now set up smart backup policies for each job from not just the API and CLI, but also via the web interface.
Backup jobs in the newest version of Proxmox VE feature a new, more flexible scheduler daemon named “pvescheduler.” They can also be labeled as protected, which means they cannot be pruned or deleted without manually removing their protective status first.
Features for virtual machines also see some improvements with 7.1. For example, Proxmox VE users can now add the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) 2.0 to any VM, which is done by simply checking a box in the web interface. Moreover, the UEFI secure boot functionality is now built-in and enabled in the QEMU package and the updated installation wizard allows you to select TPM v2.0 and UEFI. Newly created VMs also support secure boot verification and come with the option of having Linux distribution and Microsoft keys pre-enrolled.
Here are some of the other new features and enhancements as indicated by Proxmox:
Proxmox Virtual Environment is free and open-source software and is available as a downloadable ISO image that can be installed on bare metal.
