What operating system does Proxmox run on?

Proxmox runs on the Debian GNU operating system (OS) for Linux with a customized Linux kernel. It runs kernel-based virtual machines (KVM) for virtualization and Linux containers (LXC) for containerization. VMware runs on ESXi, the VMware bare-metal hypervisor for vSphere.

Does Proxmox VE support container-based virtualization?

It also supports container-based virtualization with Linux Containers (LXC), an OS-level virtualization method that has been included in Proxmox VE since version 4.0. Proxmox includes a bare-metal installer, web-based management interface and many command-line tools.

What is the difference between clustering and ha with Proxmox?

Clustering and HA is much more flexible with Proxmox since it treats all of its nodes as master nodes. Any node can manage a cluster in Proxmox, so cluster management is still possible so long as at least one node is running. In comparison, only one instance of vSphere is available to manage all ESXi hosts.
