The template renders deployment networks, compilation settings, VM sizing, CPI selection, target-node pinning, and persistent disk types. Added README guidance for manual networking, stemcell and network setup, runtime configuration, multiple CPI selection, and an RSpec command that excludes unsupported Proxmox VE tests. Suggested reviewers: Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The template may not honor the documented Proxmox VM-placement setting, and the setup guidance can leave required SSH and BOSH-agent ports blocked; the README also has a markdown formatting check failure. Merge should wait for these bounded issues to be corrected or explicitly accepted. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 5✅ Passed checks (5 passed)

bash language tag on its opening fence, enabling markdownlint MD040 validation
while leaving the example content unchanged.
- Line 314: Update the PVE firewall documentation near the
cloud_properties.bridge guidance to distinguish datacenter, VM, and VM-interface
firewall scopes. State that when enabled, the datacenter firewall, each deployed
VM firewall, and Firewall on each VM interface attached to the configured bridge
or SDN VNet must be enabled; document inbound TCP rules for ports 22 and 4567 in
the VM firewall, and clarify that bridge rules are not VM firewall scopes while
SDN VNet rules are forward-only and require nftables.

- Around line 58-63: Update the disk_types rendering condition in the template
to require a non-empty properties.disk_types collection before emitting the
disk_types key; preserve the existing iteration and item rendering for populated
lists.

OK. I'm still working on this one I noticed a few things that need to be adjusted. /easycla |
Add templates/cloud_config_pve.yml.erb so a bat.yml with 'cpi: pve' can render a cloud config for the Proxmox VE CPI, and document the manifest shape, the IaaS setup, and an example tag exclusion set in the README. The template follows the existing per-IaaS templates: a single z1 az, the networks from the deployment spec, a compilation block, and one 'default' vm_type. PVE specifics are the network cloud_properties (a bridge or SDN vnet, with an optional VLAN tag) and explicit vm_type sizing, since PVE has no flavor concept. The optional cpi_id property names a cpi-config entry for directors that have one applied, and is omitted when unset. No library changes are needed: BAT_INFRASTRUCTURE=pve leaves the existing aws?/openstack?/vsphere?/warden? predicates false, which is the behavior the generic paths already expect.
bosh.io publishes no Proxmox VE stemcell. PVE guests are QEMU/KVM, so the OpenStack KVM stemcell is the one to upload, and the director records it as bosh-openstack-kvm-ubuntu-noble-go_agent.
The stemcell.MF of the OpenStack KVM stemcells names them bosh-openstack-kvm-ubuntu-noble, with no -go_agent suffix, so point readers at bosh stemcells rather than at a name in the example. A bridge is not a PVE firewall scope. Filtering needs the datacenter switch, the VM firewall option, and the network device's firewall flag, so describe the rules as guest rules. An empty disk_types list rendered a bare disk_types: key with a null value; render the key only when the list has entries.

I believe this is ready for review now, I'm done with my work. |

@wayneeseguin does it make sense to wait with this one until the one true proxmox cpi has been chosen? |
|
@rkoster yep. |

On a multi-node PVE cluster with node-local stemcell storage, the stemcell cache template exists on one node only and local storage cannot be cloned across nodes, so unpinned placement can schedule a VM onto a node that cannot reach the stemcell and create_vm fails. The optional target_node property in bat.yml pins the az to a node that holds the stemcell; the template omits cloud_properties entirely when it is unset.

What
Adds
templates/cloud_config_pve.yml.erbso abat.ymlwithcpi: pverenders a cloud config for the Proxmox VE CPI, plus README sections covering the manifest shape, the IaaS setup, and an example tag exclusion set.Why
BATs selects its cloud config template by the
cpi:key of the deployment spec, so an IaaS without a template in this directory cannot run the suite at all without carrying a copy out of tree. Proxmox VE is the last piece needed for the PVE CPI to run BATs the same way the other CPIs do.The template
It follows the existing per-IaaS templates: one
z1az, the networks from the deployment spec, a compilation block, and a singledefaultvm_type. Two things are specific to PVE:Network
cloud_propertiescarry abridge(a PVE bridge or SDN vnet) and an optionalvlantag, in place of the security group and network id keys the other templates use.The
defaultvm_type sizes cores, memory, and root disk explicitly, because PVE has no flavor concept. The values come from optionalvm_cores,vm_memory, andvm_diskproperties and default to 2 / 2048 MiB / 8192 MiB.There is also an optional
cpi_idproperty. A director with a cpi-config applied rejects any AZ that does not name a CPI, so the template emitscpi:on the az when the property is set and omits the key entirely when it is not.No library changes are needed. With
BAT_INFRASTRUCTURE=pvethe existingaws?,openstack?,vsphere?, andwarden?predicates all stay false, which is the behavior the generic code paths already expect.Validation
Run against a live BOSH director on a Proxmox VE cluster with this template in place:
47 examples, 0 failures, 11 skipped, in 2h21m43s, on 2026-08-24.
That stemcell is the PVE CPI's light repack of the upstream
bosh-openstack-kvm-ubuntu-noble1.383 image, so the bits under test are the published OpenStack ones. The plain upstream tarball the README now points at works too: uploadingbosh-openstack-kvm-ubuntu-noble1.383 unmodified and deploying an instance from it both succeed against the same director, which is why the setup section tells readers to take the stemcell name frombosh stemcellsrather than assume one.The full report, with the environment tuple, the tag exclusions and their reasons, and per-example durations, is committed here: runs/2026-08-24-155302.md. The suite has run green against this template five times between 2026-08-18 and 2026-08-24, on CPI builds from v0.1.1 through v0.4.0, and the run history lists them all.
The 11 skipped examples are the
runitsupervision specs, which the suite already skips on a systemd stemcell, and the/etc/sv/monitsymlink check that is marked not applicable under systemd.Tags excluded for that run, none of them CPI gaps:
vip_networking(PVE has no floating IP or VIP concept for the CPI to bind),root_partition(needs an IaaS flavor with no ephemeral disk, and PVE vm_types size the root disk explicitly),raw_ephemeral_storageandraw_instance_storage(PVE VMs have no raw instance-store devices),ipv6_prefix_allocation(prefix delegation is modeled only by the upstream AWS template, and PVE has no prefix-delegation API for the CPI to call),nic_groupsandmultiple_manual_networks(the example job carries a single manual network unless the dual-stack pass deploys a second one), andipv6,ipv6_manual_networkinganddual_stack(the stemcell's agent writes one systemd-networkd file per static interface configuration, keyed by interface name, so a second static address on a shared NIC overwrites the first; RFC0038 grouped the DHCP configurations only, and cloudfoundry/bosh-agent#470 proposes the same grouping for the static ones).bundle exec rspec spec/batpasses on this branch: 41 examples, 0 failures.
