## What it is
A Terraform provider plugin for the Proxmox virtualization platform, written in Go. It exposes Terraform resources to provision and manage QEMU virtual machines and LXC containers on Proxmox VE.

## Use cases
- provision qemu vms on proxmox with terraform
- manage lxc containers as code
- automate homelab virtualization infrastructure
- declarative proxmox cluster management
- infrastructure as code for proxmox ve

## When to choose
- you use Terraform and want to manage Proxmox VMs and containers declaratively
- you want repeatable, version-controlled provisioning of QEMU VMs or LXC containers
- you are automating a self-hosted Proxmox homelab or cluster

## When to avoid
- you use a different hypervisor such as VMware, libvirt, or cloud providers
- you need polished, bug-free update behavior - known limitations cause failed tasks and crashes (e.g. lxc without rootfs)
- you prefer Proxmox's native API or GUI workflows over Terraform state management
