This simple HowTo guides you through the process to place new VMs (in this example FreeBSD 14 will be used, you can use any other ones) in a Proxmox cluster by ensuring the VMs will be placed on the best node in the cluster according to the resource usage of the nodes. Afterwards, Terraform with the BPG provider will deploy the VM in the cluster, where the hostname and node are provided in a dynamic way. This gives some kind of expressions how to handle it it scenarios like. While providing this simple way with a shell script, it can of course also become much more complex with ansible and a dynamic inventories and in addition to other Pieplines such like ArgoCD or Jenkins.
