+# Add Disk from Cloud Image - Step by Step
+
+## Current Status
+✅ Image is visible in: Storage → local → ISO Images
+✅ Image name: `ubuntu-24.04-server-cloudimg-amd64.img`
+
+## Steps to Add Disk
+
+### Option 1: Direct Import (Recommended)
+
+1. **Go to VM 9000 → Hardware tab**
+
+2. **Click "Add" → "Hard Disk"**
+
+3. **In the "Add: Hard Disk" dialog:**
+   - **Storage:** Select `local`
+   - **Look for one of these options:**
+     - "Import from" dropdown
+     - "Use existing disk" 
+     - File browser icon (folder icon)
+   - **Select:** `ubuntu-24.04-server-cloudimg-amd64.img`
+   - **Disk size:** 20 GiB
+   - **Click "Add"**
+
+### Option 2: If Import Option Not Available
+
+If you don't see an import option in the Hard Disk dialog:
+
+1. **Go to Storage → local → Import tab**
+   - This might allow importing the image as a disk format
+
+2. **Or use the file path directly:**
+   - The image is at: `/var/lib/vz/template/iso/ubuntu-24.04-server-cloudimg-amd64.img`
+   - Some Proxmox versions allow entering this path directly
+
+### Option 3: Manual Disk Creation
+
+If the above don't work:
+
+1. **Create a new disk:**
+   - Storage: `local`
+   - Size: 20 GiB
+   - Format: qcow2
+
+2. **Then copy the image to the disk:**
+   - This requires command-line access to Proxmox host
+   - Or use the Import feature in Storage
+
+## After Disk is Added
+
+1. **Remove CD-ROM (ide2)** if it still exists
+2. **Verify disk is scsi0** (not ide2)
+3. **Configure Cloud-Init:**
+   - Options → Cloud-Init
+   - User: `ubuntu`
+   - SSH Public Keys: (paste your key)
+4. **Convert to Template:**
+   - Right-click VM 9000 → Convert to Template
+
+## Quick Check
+
+After adding the disk, verify in Hardware tab:
+- ✅ scsi0: Should show the cloud image (20GB)
+- ❌ ide2: Should be removed (no CD-ROM)

+# Azure Subscription Status
+
+## Current Subscription
+
+- **Name**: Digital Bank of International Settlements
+- **Subscription ID**: `fc08d829-4f14-413d-ab27-ce024425db0b`
+- **State**: Enabled (but read-only for writes)
+- **Tenant ID**: `fb97e99d-3e94-4686-bfde-4bf4062e05f3`
+- **Account**: `admin@absoluterealms.org`
+
+## Issue
+
+The subscription appears as "Enabled" but is in **read-only mode**, preventing:
+- Resource group creation
+- Azure Arc onboarding
+- Any write operations
+
+## Resolution Options
+
+### Option 1: Re-enable Subscription (Recommended)
+1. Go to [Azure Portal](https://portal.azure.com)
+2. Navigate to: Subscriptions → Digital Bank of International Settlements
+3. Check subscription status and billing
+4. Re-enable if suspended due to billing/payment issues
+5. Contact Azure Support if needed
+
+### Option 2: Use Alternative Subscription
+If you have access to other subscriptions, you can switch:
+
+```bash
+# List all subscriptions
+az account list --output table
+
+# Switch to a different subscription
+az account set --subscription "subscription-id-here"
+
+# Update .env file with new subscription ID
+```
+
+### Option 3: Continue Without Azure Arc (Temporary)
+- Deploy infrastructure without Azure Arc integration
+- Onboard to Azure Arc later when subscription is enabled
+- Use Proxmox and Cloudflare features independently
+
+## Next Steps
+
+1. **Resolve subscription issue** in Azure Portal
+2. **Or switch to alternative subscription** if available
+3. **Then proceed with**:
+   - Create resource group
+   - Onboard Proxmox hosts to Azure Arc
+   - Continue with deployment
+
+## Workaround: Test Other Operations
+
+While waiting for subscription resolution, you can:
+- ✅ Test Proxmox operations (VM creation, etc.)
+- ✅ Configure Cloudflare Tunnel
+- ✅ Prepare Terraform configurations
+- ✅ Create VM templates
+- ✅ Test network configurations

+# Fix "No Bootable Disk" Error
+
+## Problem
+VMs are showing "No bootable disk" error when starting.
+
+## Solution
+
+### Option 1: Fix via Proxmox Web UI (Recommended)
+
+1. **Access Proxmox:** https://192.168.1.206:8006
+
+2. **For each VM (100, 101, 102, 103):**
+   
+   **a. Add CD/DVD Drive (if missing):**
+   - Click VM → Hardware tab
+   - Click "Add" → "CD/DVD Drive"
+   - Storage: `local`
+   - ISO image: `ubuntu-24.04.3-live-server-amd64.iso`
+   - Click "Add"
+   
+   **b. Set Boot Order:**
+   - Click VM → Options tab
+   - Boot Order: Select "CD-ROM" first
+   - Click "OK"
+   
+   **c. Verify Network:**
+   - Click VM → Hardware tab
+   - Ensure Network Device exists
+   - If missing: Add → Network Device → Bridge: vmbr0
+
+3. **Start VM:**
+   - Click VM → Start
+   - Open Console
+   - Ubuntu installer should boot
+
+### Option 2: Automated Fix (Attempted)
+
+The script `scripts/fix-boot-config.sh` has been run to attempt fixing via API.
+
+**If it didn't work**, use Option 1 (Web UI) as the API has format limitations.
+
+## Verification
+
+After fixing, verify:
+1. VM boots from ISO (Ubuntu installer appears)
+2. Network works (if Ubuntu installer shows network)
+3. Installation can proceed
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+**If ISO still doesn't boot:**
+- Verify ISO exists in Proxmox storage: Storage → local → ISO images
+- Check VM has CD/DVD drive in Hardware tab
+- Verify boot order in Options tab
+- Try detaching and re-attaching ISO
+
+**If "No bootable disk" persists:**
+- Check if disk (scsi0) exists in Hardware tab
+- Verify boot order includes both CD-ROM and disk
+- Try resetting VM (Stop → Start)
+
+## Quick Fix Checklist
+
+For each VM:
+- [ ] CD/DVD drive exists in Hardware tab
+- [ ] ISO is attached (ubuntu-24.04.3-live-server-amd64.iso)
+- [ ] Boot order is set to CD-ROM first (Options tab)
+- [ ] Network device exists (Hardware tab)
+- [ ] VM is started
+- [ ] Console shows Ubuntu installer

+# Alternative: Set Boot Order When CD-ROM Not Shown
+
+## Problem
+CD/DVD drive is attached, but CD-ROM doesn't appear in Boot Order dropdown.
+
+## Solution: Use Boot Order Text Field
+
+In Proxmox, you can set boot order by typing device names directly.
+
+### Method 1: Edit Boot Order Field Directly
+
+1. **Go to:** VM → **Options** tab
+2. **Find:** "Boot Order" option
+3. **Click:** "Edit" (or double-click)
+4. **In the dialog, look for a text field** (not just dropdown)
+5. **Type or enter:** `order=ide2;scsi0`
+   - `ide2` = CD/DVD drive
+   - `scsi0` = Hard disk
+   - `;` separates devices (first = boot priority)
+6. **Click:** "OK"
+
+### Method 2: Use BIOS Boot Menu
+
+If boot order can't be set:
+
+1. **Start the VM**
+2. **Open Console**
+3. **When VM starts, press F2 or Delete** (during boot)
+4. **Enter BIOS/UEFI settings**
+5. **Navigate to Boot menu**
+6. **Set CD/DVD as first boot device**
+7. **Save and exit**
+
+### Method 3: Manual Boot Selection
+
+1. **Start the VM**
+2. **Open Console**
+3. **When VM starts, press F12** (boot menu)
+4. **Select CD/DVD drive** from boot menu
+5. **Ubuntu installer should start**
+
+### Method 4: Verify CD/DVD is Actually Attached
+
+1. **Hardware tab**
+2. **Look for:** "CD/DVD Drive (ide2)"
+3. **Verify it shows:** `ubuntu-24.04.3-live-server-amd64.iso`
+4. **If missing or shows "Do not use any media":**
+   - Click on it → Edit
+   - Select ISO image
+   - Click OK
+
+### Method 5: Check Proxmox Version
+
+Some Proxmox versions show boot order differently:
+
+- **Older versions:** Text field where you type `order=ide2;scsi0`
+- **Newer versions:** Drag-and-drop interface
+- **If neither works:** Use BIOS boot menu (Method 2)
+
+## Quick Test
+
+1. **Start VM**
+2. **Open Console**
+3. **Press F12** when VM boots
+4. **Select CD/DVD** from boot menu
+5. **If Ubuntu installer appears:** Boot order is working, just needs to be set as default
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+**CD-ROM still not in boot order:**
+- Verify CD/DVD drive exists in Hardware tab
+- Check it's not set to "Do not use any media"
+- Try removing and re-adding the CD/DVD drive
+- Refresh the Options tab
+
+**VM won't boot from CD even with F12:**
+- Verify ISO file isn't corrupted
+- Check CD/DVD drive is properly attached
+- Try a different ISO or re-upload it
+
+**Boot order field is read-only:**
+- You may need to stop the VM first
+- Or use BIOS boot menu method

+# Boot Order Workaround - CD-ROM Not in Dropdown
+
+## Good News! ✅
+
+The ISO is attached and boot disk is configured via API. The VM should boot from CD-ROM even if it doesn't show in the Web UI dropdown.
+
+## Solution: Test Boot Now
+
+### Option 1: Just Start the VM (Recommended)
+
+The boot order is already set via API (`bootdisk=ide2`). Try this:
+
+1. **Start the VM** (if not already running)
+2. **Open Console tab**
+3. **Ubuntu installer should boot automatically!**
+
+If it boots from CD-ROM, you're done! The Web UI dropdown is just a display issue.
+
+### Option 2: Use BIOS Boot Menu (If Needed)
+
+If VM doesn't boot from CD automatically:
+
+1. **Start the VM**
+2. **Open Console**
+3. **Immediately press F12** (or F2, Delete, or ESC - depends on VM)
+4. **Select "CD/DVD" or "ide2"** from boot menu
+5. **Ubuntu installer should start**
+
+### Option 3: Set Boot Order in Web UI (Alternative Method)
+
+If you want to set it in Web UI anyway:
+
+1. **Options tab → Boot Order**
+2. **Look for a text input field** (not just dropdown)
+3. **Type:** `order=ide2;scsi0`
+4. **Or try:** Just `ide2`
+5. **Click OK**
+
+Some Proxmox versions have a text field where you can type the boot order directly.
+
+### Option 4: Verify Current Configuration
+
+The API has already set:
+- ✅ ISO attached (ide2)
+- ✅ Boot disk = ide2
+- ✅ VM should boot from CD-ROM
+
+**Test it:** Just start the VM and open Console. It should boot from the ISO.
+
+## Why CD-ROM Doesn't Show in Dropdown
+
+Some Proxmox Web UI versions don't show CD-ROM in the boot order dropdown even when it's attached. This is a UI limitation, but the boot order is still set correctly via the API.
+
+## Verification
+
+Current status (via API):
+- ✅ ISO attached: `ide2=local:iso/ubuntu-24.04.3-live-server-amd64.iso`
+- ✅ Boot disk set: `bootdisk=ide2`
+- ✅ VM should boot from CD-ROM
+
+**Just start the VM and check the Console!**
+
+## Next Steps
+
+1. **Start VM 100** (cloudflare-tunnel)
+2. **Open Console**
+3. **If Ubuntu installer appears:** ✅ Success! Proceed with installation
+4. **If "No bootable disk":** Use F12 boot menu method
+5. **Repeat for VMs 101, 102, 103**
+
+## Quick Test Command
+
+After starting VM, check console. If Ubuntu installer appears, boot order is working!

+- **Discard:** Unchecked - OK
+
+### Step 5: Click Add
+- Click the blue **"Add"** button
+- The disk will be added from the cloud image
+
+## After Adding Disk
+
+1. **Remove the CD-ROM (ide2)** if it's still there:
+   - Hardware tab → CD/DVD Drive → Remove
+
+2. **Configure Cloud-Init:**
+   - Options tab → Cloud-Init
+   - User: `ubuntu`
+   - SSH Public Keys: (paste your key)
+
+3. **Convert to Template:**
+   - Right-click VM 9000 → Convert to Template
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+**If "Import from" option doesn't appear:**
+- The image file might be in the wrong storage location
+- Try: Storage → local → Upload (if not already uploaded)
+- Or check if image is in: `/var/lib/vz/template/iso/`
+
+**If storage dropdown is empty:**
+- Check Proxmox storage configuration
+- Ensure "local" storage is available
+- Try refreshing the page

+# Complete VM Tasks - Status & Instructions
+
+## Current Status
+
+**Automation Scripts Created:**
+- ✅ `scripts/complete-all-vm-tasks.sh` - Master script to complete all TODO tasks
+- ✅ `scripts/check-vm-readiness.sh` - Check if VMs are ready
+- ✅ `scripts/monitor-and-complete.sh` - Auto-monitor and complete when ready
+
+**VM Status:**
+- ⏳ VMs are installing Ubuntu (not reachable yet)
+- ⏳ Waiting for VMs to complete installation and become SSH-ready
+
+## What Will Be Completed
+
+When VMs are ready, the script will automatically:
+
+### For Each VM (100, 101, 102, 103):
+
+1. **Install QEMU Guest Agent**
+   - Installs `qemu-guest-agent` package
+   - Enables and starts the service
+   - Enables agent in Proxmox configuration
+
+2. **Install Service-Specific Software:**
+   - **VM 100 (cloudflare-tunnel)**: Install cloudflared
+   - **VM 101 (k3s-master)**: Install K3s Kubernetes
+   - **VM 102 (git-server)**: Install Gitea
+   - **VM 103 (observability)**: Install Prometheus + Grafana
+
+3. **Verify Services**
+   - Check services are running
+   - Display service status and access URLs
+
+## How to Run
+
+### Option 1: Automatic Monitoring (Recommended)
+
+The monitoring script will automatically detect when VMs are ready and run the tasks:
+
+```bash
+./scripts/monitor-and-complete.sh
+```
+
+This runs in the background and will:
+- Check VM readiness every 30 seconds
+- Automatically run `complete-all-vm-tasks.sh` when all VMs are ready
+- Wait up to 1 hour for VMs to become ready
+
+### Option 2: Manual Check and Run
+
+1. **Check VM readiness:**
+   ```bash
+   ./scripts/check-vm-readiness.sh
+   ```
+
+2. **When all VMs show as ready, run:**
+   ```bash
+   export SSH_KEY="$HOME/.ssh/id_rsa"
+   ./scripts/complete-all-vm-tasks.sh
+   ```
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- ✅ SSH keys configured (`~/.ssh/id_rsa`)
+- ✅ VMs must have Ubuntu installed and booted
+- ✅ VMs must be reachable on their IP addresses:
+  - VM 100: 192.168.1.60
+  - VM 101: 192.168.1.188
+  - VM 102: 192.168.1.121
+  - VM 103: 192.168.1.82
+- ✅ SSH access with user `ubuntu` (or set `SSH_USER`)
+
+## Expected Timeline
+
+- **VM Installation**: 15-30 minutes (Ubuntu installation)
+- **Task Completion**: 10-20 minutes (once VMs are ready)
+- **Total**: ~30-50 minutes from VM start
+
+## What Happens After
+
+After the script completes:
+
+1. **All services installed and running**
+2. **Guest agents enabled** for proper Proxmox integration
+3. **Manual configuration needed:**
+   - Cloudflare Tunnel: Authenticate and configure tunnel
+   - Gitea: Complete initial web UI setup
+   - Grafana: Change default password
+   - K3s: Deploy namespaces and services
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### VMs Not Reachable
+
+**Check VM status in Proxmox:**
+- Ensure VMs are started
+- Check console to see installation progress
+- Verify network configuration
+
+### SSH Connection Failed
+
+**Verify:**
+- SSH key is correct: `ls -la ~/.ssh/id_rsa`
+- VM has completed Ubuntu installation

+# Create VM 9000 from Uploaded Image - CLI Workflow
+
+## ⚠️ Troubleshooting I/O Errors
+
+If you encounter I/O errors during VM creation (like `qemu-img: error while reading at byte...`), see **[TROUBLESHOOTING_VM_9000.md](TROUBLESHOOTING_VM_9000.md)** for:
+- Diagnostic steps to check file integrity
+- Solutions to fix corrupted images
+- Alternative upload methods
+- Storage health checks
+
+**Quick Fix**: The most common solution is to re-upload the image. See Solution 1 in the troubleshooting guide.
+
+## ✅ Image Uploaded Successfully!
+- Location: `/var/lib/vz/template/iso/ubuntu-24.04-server-cloudimg-amd64.img`
+- Size: 597 MB
+
+## Pre-Creation Verification (Recommended)
+
+Before creating the VM, verify the image is valid:
+
+**On Proxmox host (SSH):**
+```bash
+# Check file exists and size
+ls -lh /var/lib/vz/template/iso/ubuntu-24.04-server-cloudimg-amd64.img
+
+# Verify image integrity
+qemu-img info /var/lib/vz/template/iso/ubuntu-24.04-server-cloudimg-amd64.img
+```
+
+The `qemu-img info` command should show:
+- Format: `raw` or `qcow2`
+- Virtual size: ~2.2 GB (or similar)
+- No errors
+
+If you see errors, follow the troubleshooting guide.
+
+---
+
+# 🚀 Proxmox: 5-Minute CLI Workflow to Create a VM from Any QCOW2/RAW Image
+
+This workflow works for:
+- Ubuntu cloud images
+- Windows prepared images
+- Turnkey appliances
+- Custom images you built yourself
+
+**Reference**: For official Proxmox VE documentation, see [Proxmox VE Documentation Index](https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/index.html)
+
+---
+
+## Quick Reference: 5-Minute CLI Workflow
+
+**On Proxmox host (SSH):**
+
+```bash
+# Step 1: Create VM shell (no disk)
+qm create 9000 --name "ubuntu-24.04-cloudinit" --memory 4096 --cores 2 --net0 virtio,bridge=vmbr0
+
+# Step 2: Import disk from image
+qm importdisk 9000 /var/lib/vz/template/iso/ubuntu-24.04-server-cloudimg-amd64.img local-lvm
+
+# Step 3: Attach imported disk
+qm set 9000 --scsihw virtio-scsi-pci --scsi0 local-lvm:vm-9000-disk-0
+
+# Step 4: Configure boot order
+qm set 9000 --boot order=scsi0
+
+# Step 5: (Optional) Add UEFI support
+qm set 9000 --bios ovmf --efidisk0 local-lvm:1
+
+# Step 6: (Optional) Add Cloud-init support
+qm set 9000 --ide2 local-lvm:cloudinit
+qm set 9000 --serial0 socket --vga serial0
+
+# Step 7: Start VM
+qm start 9000
+```
+
+Done! You've created a VM from a raw disk image in **5 minutes**.
+
+---
+
+## Detailed Step-by-Step Instructions
+
+### Step 1: Upload Image to Proxmox Storage
+
+Upload your `.qcow2` or `.raw` image to:
+- `/var/lib/vz/template/iso/` (directory storage)
+- Or upload via Proxmox Web UI to your storage pool
+
+**Verify upload:**
+```bash
+ls -lh /var/lib/vz/template/iso/ubuntu-24.04-server-cloudimg-amd64.img
+qemu-img info /var/lib/vz/template/iso/ubuntu-24.04-server-cloudimg-amd64.img
+```
+
+### Step 2: Create New VM Shell (No Disk Yet)
+
+Pick an unused VMID (example uses **9000**):
+
+```bash
+qm create 9000 \
+  --name "ubuntu-24.04-cloudinit" \
+  --memory 4096 \
+  --cores 2 \
+  --net0 virtio,bridge=vmbr0
+```
+
+**Parameters:**
+- `--name`: VM display name
+- `--memory`: Memory in MB (4096 = 4 GB)
+- `--cores`: Number of CPU cores
+- `--net0`: Network interface (VirtIO for best performance)
+
+**Check available VMIDs:**
+```bash
+qm list
+```
+
+### Step 3: Import the QCOW2/RAW Disk into the VM
+
+Import the disk image to your storage pool:
+
+```bash
+qm importdisk 9000 /var/lib/vz/template/iso/ubuntu-24.04-server-cloudimg-amd64.img local-lvm
+```
+
+**Parameters:**
+- `9000`: VM ID
+- Image path: Full path to your image file
+- `local-lvm`: Target storage pool (adjust for your environment)
+
+**Available storage pools:**
+```bash
+pvesm status
+```
+
+**Note**: The output will tell you the volume name (usually `vm-9000-disk-0`).
+
+### Step 4: Attach the Imported Disk to the VM
+
+Attach the imported disk as a VirtIO SCSI device:
+
+```bash
+qm set 9000 --scsihw virtio-scsi-pci --scsi0 local-lvm:vm-9000-disk-0
+```
+
+**Why VirtIO SCSI?**
+- Best performance for virtualized storage
+- Supports advanced features (discard, iothread)
+- Recommended for production VMs
+
+**Alternative disk configurations:**
+```bash
+# VirtIO block device (alternative)
+qm set 9000 --virtio0 local-lvm:vm-9000-disk-0
+
+# IDE device (legacy compatibility)
+qm set 9000 --ide0 local-lvm:vm-9000-disk-0
+```
+
+### Step 5: Configure Bootloader and Boot Disk
+
+Set the boot order to use the attached disk:
+
+```bash
+qm set 9000 --boot order=scsi0
+```
+
+**UEFI Configuration (Optional, Recommended for Modern Images):**
+
+If your image requires UEFI (most modern cloud images do):
+
+```bash
+# Enable UEFI/OVMF
+qm set 9000 --bios ovmf
+
+# Create EFI disk (if not using secure boot)
+qm set 9000 --efidisk0 local-lvm:1,format=raw
+```
+
+**BIOS Configuration (Legacy):**
+
+For older images that require BIOS:
+
+```bash
+qm set 9000 --bios seabios
+```
+
+**Verify boot configuration:**
+```bash
+qm config 9000 | grep -E "boot|bios|scsi0"
+```
+
+### Step 6: (Optional) Add Cloud-Init Support
+
+Enable Cloud-Init for automatic VM configuration:
+
+```bash
+# Add Cloud-Init drive
+qm set 9000 --ide2 local-lvm:cloudinit
+
+# Enable serial console (required for cloud-init)
+qm set 9000 --serial0 socket --vga serial0
+```
+
+**Configure Cloud-Init settings:**
+
+```bash
+# Set Cloud-Init user
+qm set 9000 --ciuser ubuntu
+
+# Set SSH public key (recommended over password)
+qm set 9000 --sshkey ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
+
+# Or set password (less secure)
+# qm set 9000 --cipassword "your-secure-password"
+
+# Configure IP address (optional)
+qm set 9000 --ipconfig0 ip=192.168.1.100/24,gw=192.168.1.1
+
+# Configure DNS (optional)
+qm set 9000 --nameserver "8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4"
+
+# Configure search domains (optional)
+qm set 9000 --searchdomain "example.com"
+```
+
+**Multiple SSH keys:**
+```bash
+# Read multiple keys from file
+qm set 9000 --sshkey "$(cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub)"
+```
+
+### Step 7: Enable QEMU Guest Agent (Recommended)
+
+Enable the QEMU Guest Agent for better VM management:
+
+```bash
+qm set 9000 --agent 1
+```
+
+**Benefits:**
+- Accurate CPU and memory reporting
+- Proper shutdown/reboot from Proxmox UI
+- File system freeze for backups
+- Network statistics
+
+### Step 8: Configure Additional Options (Optional)
+
+**CPU Optimization:**
+```bash
+# Use host CPU type for best performance
+qm set 9000 --cpu host
+
+# Set CPU limit (optional)
+qm set 9000 --cpulimit 2
+```
+
+**Memory Optimization:**
+```bash
+# Enable balloon driver for dynamic memory
+qm set 9000 --balloon 2048
+
+# Enable memory hotplug
+qm set 9000 --hotplug memory
+```
+
+**Disk I/O Optimization:**
+```bash
+# Enable IO thread for better I/O performance
+qm set 9000 --iothread 1
+
+# Set cache mode (none = best performance, safest)
+qm set 9000 --cache none
+
+# Enable discard (for thin provisioning)
+qm set 9000 --discard on
+```
+
+**Network Optimization:**
+```bash
+# Enable multi-queue for high network loads
+qm set 9000 --queues 2
+
+# Configure VLAN tagging
+qm set 9000 --net0 virtio,bridge=vmbr0,tag=20
+```
+
+### Step 9: Start the VM
+
+Start the VM:
+
+```bash
+qm start 9000
+```
+
+**Monitor VM status:**
+```bash
+# Check VM status
+qm status 9000
+
+# View VM console
+qm terminal 9000
+
+# View VM logs
+journalctl -u qemu-server@9000 -f
+```
+
+---
+
+## 🎯 Converting VM to Template
+
+After installing and customizing the VM, convert it to a reusable template:
+
+```bash
+# Shutdown VM gracefully
+qm shutdown 9000
+
+# Wait for shutdown, then convert to template
+qm template 9000
+```
+
+**Now you can clone it in seconds:**
+
+**Full Clone (Independent):**
+```bash
+qm clone 9000 9100 --full --name "ubuntu-24.04-vm-1"
+qm start 9100
+```
+
+**Linked Clone (Space Efficient):**
+```bash
+qm clone 9000 9100 --name "ubuntu-24.04-vm-1"
+qm start 9100
+```
+
+**Configure cloned VM:**
+```bash
+# Set unique cloud-init settings for clone
+qm set 9100 --ciuser ubuntu
+qm set 9100 --sshkey ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
+qm set 9100 --ipconfig0 ip=192.168.1.101/24,gw=192.168.1.1
+```
+
+---
+
+## 🎯 Cloud-Init Template Best Practices
+
+Create a production-ready cloud-init template:
+
+```bash
+# 1. Create and configure base VM (as above)
+
+# 2. Configure Cloud-Init with best practices
+qm set 9000 --ciuser ubuntu
+qm set 9000 --cipassword ""  # Leave empty, use SSH keys
+qm set 9000 --sshkey "$(cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub)"
+qm set 9000 --ipconfig0 ip=dhcp  # Or static IP per deployment
+
+# 3. Add metadata tags
+qm set 9000 --tags ubuntu,cloud-init,template
+
+# 4. Optimize for cloning
+qm set 9000 --description "Ubuntu 24.04 Cloud-Init Template - Created $(date +%Y-%m-%d)"
+
+# 5. Shutdown and convert to template
+qm shutdown 9000
+qm template 9000
+```
+
+**Clone with custom configuration:**
+
+```bash
+# Clone template
+qm clone 9000 9100 --name "production-web-1"
+
+# Configure per-deployment settings
+qm set 9100 \
+  --ciuser ubuntu \
+  --sshkey "$(cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub)" \
+  --ipconfig0 ip=10.10.30.10/24,gw=10.10.30.1 \
+  --nameserver "10.10.30.1" \
+  --tags "production,web,app-tier"
+
+# Start VM
+qm start 9100
+```
+
+---
+

+# Multiple network interfaces with different VLANs
+qm set 9000 --net0 virtio,bridge=vmbr0,tag=20
+qm set 9000 --net1 virtio,bridge=vmbr0,tag=30
+```
+
+### Project-Specific VLANs
+
+According to project architecture:
+
+```bash
+# Storage VLAN (10.10.10.0/24)
+qm set 9000 --net0 virtio,bridge=vmbr0,tag=10
+
+# Compute VLAN (10.10.20.0/24)
+qm set 9000 --net0 virtio,bridge=vmbr0,tag=20

+# DMZ VLAN (10.10.99.0/24)
+qm set 9000 --net0 virtio,bridge=vmbr0,tag=99
+```
+
+---
+
+## 🎯 Storage Options
+
+### Different Storage Types
+
+```bash
+# Local LVM (fast, thin-provisioned)
+qm importdisk 9000 "$IMAGE" local-lvm
+
+# Local directory storage
+qm importdisk 9000 "$IMAGE" local
+
+# NFS shared storage
+qm importdisk 9000 "$IMAGE" nfs-shared
+
+# Ceph distributed storage
+qm importdisk 9000 "$IMAGE" ceph-storage
+```
+
+### Disk Format Choices
+
+```bash
+# Raw format (best performance)
+qm importdisk 9000 "$IMAGE" local-lvm --format raw
+
+# qcow2 format (advanced features)
+qm importdisk 9000 "$IMAGE" local-lvm --format qcow2
+
+# vmdk format (VMware compatibility)
+qm importdisk 9000 "$IMAGE" local-lvm --format vmdk
+```
+
+---
+
+## 🎯 Automation Script
+
+For automated VM creation, use the provided script:
+
+```bash
+./scripts/create-vm-from-image.sh \
+  --vmid 9000 \
+  --name "ubuntu-24.04-cloudinit" \
+  --image /var/lib/vz/template/iso/ubuntu-24.04-server-cloudimg-amd64.img \
+  --storage local-lvm \
+  --memory 4096 \
+  --cores 2 \
+  --cloud-init \
+  --uefi \
+  --template \
+  --ciuser ubuntu \
+  --sshkey "$(cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub)"
+```
+
+See `scripts/create-vm-from-image.sh` for full documentation.
+
+---
+
+## ✅ Done!
+
+Once template is created, the monitoring script will automatically:
+- Detect the template
+- Destroy existing VMs
+- Recreate them from template
+- Auto-configure everything
+
+Or run manually:
+```bash
+./scripts/recreate-vms-from-template.sh
+```

+# Deployment Blockers
+
+## Current Status
+
+### ✅ Working Components
+- **Proxmox ML110**: Connected and operational
+- **Proxmox R630**: Connected and operational  
+- **Cloudflare API**: Connected and authenticated
+- **Cloudflare Zone**: d-bis.org (active)
+- **Cloudflare Tunnel Token**: Available
+
+### ⚠️ Blockers
+
+#### Azure Subscription Read-Only Mode
+**Issue**: All available Azure subscriptions are in read-only mode, preventing:
+- Resource group creation
+- Azure Arc onboarding
+- Any write operations
+
+**Affected Subscriptions**:
+1. Digital Bank of International Settlements (`fc08d829-4f14-413d-ab27-ce024425db0b`)
+2. MIM4U (`6d3c4263-bba9-497c-8843-eae6c4e87192`)
+3. Landrum Law (`70569bdd-de60-4dd1-838e-5fde7f91fe8d`)
+4. International Criminal Court of Commerce (`88e5f6a1-ab86-4a86-9e91-831ed63fed81`)
+
+**Root Cause**: Likely billing/payment issue or account-level restriction
+
+## Resolution Steps
+
+### 1. Check Azure Portal
+- Navigate to: https://portal.azure.com
+- Go to: Subscriptions → Check each subscription status
+- Look for: Billing alerts, payment issues, or restrictions
+
+### 2. Contact Azure Support
+- Open support ticket for subscription activation
+- Provide subscription IDs that need re-enabling
+- Request removal of read-only restriction
+
+### 3. Alternative: Continue Without Azure Arc
+While waiting for Azure resolution, you can:
+- ✅ Deploy VMs on Proxmox
+- ✅ Configure Cloudflare Tunnel
+- ✅ Set up Kubernetes (K3s)
+- ✅ Deploy applications
+- ⏸️ Onboard to Azure Arc later (once subscription enabled)
+
+## Workarounds
+
+### Proceed with Local Deployment
+All infrastructure can be deployed and configured locally:
+1. Create VMs using Terraform or Proxmox UI
+2. Configure Cloudflare Tunnel (tunnel token available)
+3. Deploy Kubernetes cluster
+4. Deploy applications
+5. Onboard to Azure Arc when subscription is enabled
+
+### Update .env for Alternative Subscription
+If you get access to a working subscription:
+```bash
+# Update subscription ID in .env
+AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID=new-subscription-id
+
+# Then create resource group
+az group create --name HC-Stack --location eastus
+```
+
+## Next Actions
+
+1. **Resolve Azure subscription issue** (priority)
+2. **Or proceed with local deployment** (workaround)
+3. **Onboard to Azure Arc** once subscription is enabled
+
+## Files Ready for Deployment
+
+- ✅ All scripts prepared and tested
+- ✅ Terraform configurations ready
+- ✅ Connection tests passing
+- ✅ Documentation complete
+
+**Status**: Ready to deploy once Azure subscription is enabled, or proceed with local-only deployment.

+# Deployment Guide - Without Azure Arc
+
+This guide covers deploying the complete infrastructure stack without Azure Arc integration. Azure Arc can be added later once subscription issues are resolved.
+
+## ✅ What Works Without Azure
+
+- ✅ Proxmox VE cluster and VM management
+- ✅ Cloudflare Tunnel for secure external access
+- ✅ Kubernetes (K3s) cluster deployment
+- ✅ GitOps with self-hosted Git server
+- ✅ All HC Stack services (Besu, Firefly, Chainlink, etc.)
+- ✅ Monitoring and observability stack
+- ✅ Network configuration and VLANs
+- ✅ Storage management
+
+## ⏸️ What's Deferred (Until Azure Available)
+
+- ⏸️ Azure Arc onboarding
+- ⏸️ Azure Policy enforcement
+- ⏸️ Azure Monitor integration
+- ⏸️ Azure Defender
+- ⏸️ Azure Update Management
+
+## 🚀 Deployment Phases (Without Azure)
+
+### Phase 1: Proxmox Cluster Setup
+
+**Verify/Configure Cluster:**
+
+```bash
+# On ML110 (192.168.1.206)
+ssh root@192.168.1.206
+pvecm status
+pvecm nodes
+
+# On R630 (192.168.1.49)
+ssh root@192.168.1.49
+pvecm status
+pvecm nodes
+```
+
+**If not clustered, create cluster:**
+
+```bash
+# On ML110 (first node)
+pvecm create hc-cluster
+
+# On R630 (join cluster)
+pvecm add 192.168.1.206
+```
+
+### Phase 2: Create Service VMs
+
+**Option A: Using Terraform**
+
+```bash
+cd terraform/proxmox
+
+# Create terraform.tfvars from .env
+source <(grep -v '^#' ../.env | grep -v '^$' | sed 's/#.*$//' | sed 's/^[[:space:]]*//;s/[[:space:]]*$//' | grep '=')
+
+cat > terraform.tfvars <<EOF
+proxmox_host     = "192.168.1.206"
+proxmox_username = "root@pam"
+proxmox_password = "$PVE_ROOT_PASS"
+proxmox_node     = "pve"
+EOF
+
+terraform init
+terraform plan
+terraform apply
+```
+
+**Option B: Manual VM Creation via Proxmox UI**
+
+Access Proxmox web UI:
+- ML110: `https://192.168.1.206:8006`
+- R630: `https://192.168.1.49:8006`
+
+Create VMs for:
+1. **K3s Master** (Kubernetes)
+   - 4 vCPU, 8GB RAM, 80GB disk
+   - Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
+   - IP: 192.168.1.188 (adjust as needed)
+
+2. **Cloudflare Tunnel VM**
+   - 2 vCPU, 4GB RAM, 40GB disk
+   - Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
+   - IP: 192.168.1.60 (VLAN 99/DMZ)
+
+3. **Git Server** (Gitea/GitLab)
+   - 4 vCPU, 8GB RAM, 100GB disk
+   - Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
+   - IP: 192.168.1.121
+
+4. **Observability VM** (Prometheus/Grafana)
+   - 4 vCPU, 8GB RAM, 200GB disk
+   - Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
+   - IP: 192.168.1.82
+
+### Phase 3: Cloudflare Tunnel Configuration

+sudo systemctl start cloudflared
+sudo systemctl status cloudflared
+```
+
+### Phase 4: Kubernetes (K3s) Deployment
+
+**On K3s VM:**
+
+```bash
+# SSH to K3s VM
+ssh ubuntu@192.168.1.188
+
+# Install K3s
+curl -sfL https://get.k3s.io | sh -
+
+# Verify installation
+sudo k3s kubectl get nodes
+
+# Get kubeconfig
+sudo cat /etc/rancher/k3s/k3s.yaml
+
+# Copy kubeconfig to local machine
+mkdir -p ~/.kube
+sudo cat /etc/rancher/k3s/k3s.yaml | sed 's/127.0.0.1/192.168.1.188/g' > ~/.kube/config
+chmod 600 ~/.kube/config
+
+# Test access
+kubectl get nodes
+```
+
+**Deploy Base Infrastructure:**
+
+```bash
+# Create namespaces
+kubectl create namespace blockchain
+kubectl create namespace monitoring
+kubectl create namespace hc-stack
+
+# Deploy NGINX Ingress Controller
+kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes/ingress-nginx/main/deploy/static/provider/cloud/deploy.yaml
+
+# Deploy Cert-Manager (optional, for TLS)
+kubectl apply -f https://github.com/cert-manager/cert-manager/releases/download/v1.13.0/cert-manager.yaml
+```
+
+### Phase 5: Git Server Deployment
+
+**On Git Server VM:**
+
+```bash
+# SSH to Git server VM
+ssh ubuntu@192.168.1.121
+
+# Option A: Deploy Gitea (Recommended)
+docker run -d --name=gitea \
+  -p 3000:3000 \
+  -p 2222:22 \
+  -v gitea_data:/data \
+  -e USER_UID=1000 \
+  -e USER_GID=1000 \
+  gitea/gitea:latest

+helm install nginx-proxy ./gitops/apps/nginx-proxy -n hc-stack
+```
+
+### Phase 8: Configure Ingress
+
+**Update Cloudflare Tunnel config with service endpoints:**
+
+```bash
+# On Cloudflare Tunnel VM
+sudo nano /etc/cloudflared/config.yml
+
+# Add ingress rules for:
+# - besu.d-bis.org → Kubernetes service
+# - firefly.d-bis.org → Kubernetes service
+# - blockscout.d-bis.org → Kubernetes service
+# - grafana.d-bis.org → Grafana service
+
+# Restart tunnel
+sudo systemctl restart cloudflared
+```
+
+**Create Kubernetes Ingress resources:**
+
+```bash
+# Create ingress for services
+kubectl apply -f - <<EOF
+apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
+kind: Ingress
+metadata:
+  name: blockchain-ingress
+  namespace: blockchain
+  annotations:
+    kubernetes.io/ingress.class: nginx
+spec:
+  rules:
+  - host: besu.d-bis.org
+    http:
+      paths:
+      - path: /
+        pathType: Prefix
+        backend:
+          service:
+            name: besu
+            port:
+              number: 8545
+EOF
+```
+
+### Phase 9: Network Configuration
+
+**Configure VLANs on Proxmox (if not done):**
+
+```bash
+# On each Proxmox host
+# Configure VLAN bridges
+# See: infrastructure/proxmox/configure-proxmox-vlans.sh
+```
+
+**Configure OpenWrt (if router server exists):**
+
+```bash
+# Configure VLANs, routing, firewall
+# See: infrastructure/network/configure-openwrt-network.ps1
+```
+
+### Phase 10: Monitoring Setup
+
+**Configure Prometheus Targets:**
+
+```bash
+# Add Proxmox exporters
+# Add node exporters
+# Configure scrape configs
+```
+
+**Create Grafana Dashboards:**
+
+```bash
+# Import dashboards for:
+# - Kubernetes cluster
+# - Proxmox hosts
+# - Network metrics
+# - Application metrics
+```
+
+## 🔧 Useful Commands (Without Azure)
+
+**Proxmox Operations:**
+```bash
+# List VMs
+pvesh get /nodes/pve/qemu
+
+# Create VM via API
+# Use Terraform or Proxmox UI
+```
+
+**Kubernetes Operations:**
+```bash
+# Check cluster status
+kubectl get nodes
+kubectl get pods --all-namespaces
+kubectl get services --all-namespaces
+
+# Check ingress
+kubectl get ingress --all-namespaces
+```
+
+**Cloudflare Tunnel:**
+```bash
+# Check tunnel status
+sudo systemctl status cloudflared
+sudo journalctl -u cloudflared -f
+
+# Test tunnel connectivity
+cloudflared tunnel info
+```
+
+## 📋 Deployment Checklist (Without Azure)
+
+- [ ] Verify Proxmox cluster status
+- [ ] Create service VMs (K3s, Tunnel, Git, Observability)
+- [ ] Configure Cloudflare Tunnel
+- [ ] Deploy Kubernetes (K3s)
+- [ ] Deploy Git server (Gitea/GitLab)
+- [ ] Deploy observability stack
+- [ ] Deploy HC Stack services
+- [ ] Configure ingress and routing
+- [ ] Set up monitoring dashboards
+- [ ] Test all services
+- [ ] Configure backups
+- [ ] Document IPs and configurations
+
+## 🎯 Adding Azure Arc Later
+
+Once Azure subscription is enabled:
+
+1. **Install Arc agents on Proxmox hosts:**
+   ```bash
+   # On each Proxmox host
+   ./scripts/azure-arc/onboard-proxmox-hosts.sh
+   ```
+
+2. **Install Arc agents on VMs:**
+   ```bash
+   # On each VM
+   ./scripts/azure-arc/onboard-vms.sh
+   ```
+
+3. **Onboard Kubernetes to Arc:**
+   ```bash
+   # On K3s VM
+   ./infrastructure/kubernetes/arc-onboard-k8s.sh
+   ```
+
+## 🚨 Important Notes
+
+- **No Azure dependencies**: All services work independently
+- **Local monitoring**: Use Prometheus/Grafana instead of Azure Monitor
+- **Local GitOps**: Use self-hosted Git server instead of Azure DevOps
+- **Cloudflare for access**: Use Cloudflare Tunnel instead of Azure VPN
+- **Manual updates**: Update management without Azure Update Management

+│    - ISO: ubuntu-24.04.3...     │
+│ 4. Options tab                   │
+│ 5. Boot Order → CD-ROM first     │
+│ 6. Start VM                      │
+│ 7. Console → Should see Ubuntu   │
+└─────────────────────────────────┘
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+**ISO not in list?**
+- Go to: Datacenter → Storage → local → ISO images
+- Verify `ubuntu-24.04.3-live-server-amd64.iso` exists
+- If missing, upload it
+
+**Still won't boot?**
+- Try: Hardware → CD/DVD → Edit → Check "Use CD/DVD disc image file"
+- Verify: Options → Boot Order has "ide2" or "CD-ROM" first
+- Try: Stop VM → Detach ISO → Re-attach → Start
+
+## Expected Result
+
+After fixing, when you open Console:
+- ✅ Ubuntu installer should boot
+- ✅ You'll see Ubuntu installation screen
+- ✅ Network should be detected (if network device exists)
+
+## Next Steps After Boot Works
+
+1. Complete Ubuntu installation
+2. Configure static IPs during installation
+3. Run: `./scripts/check-vm-status.sh`
+4. Run: `./scripts/automate-all-setup.sh`

+   - Click VM → **Hardware** tab
+   - Look for **"Floppy Drive"** or **"floppy0"**
+   - If it exists, click on it → **Remove**
+   - Confirm removal
+
+   **Step 2: Set Boot Order**
+   - Go to **Options** tab
+   - Find **"Boot Order"**
+   - Click **"Edit"**
+   - **Remove floppy from boot order** (if shown)
+   - Set order to: **CD-ROM first, then Hard Disk**
+   - Or type in text field: `order=ide2;scsi0`
+   - Click **OK**
+
+   **Step 3: Verify CD/DVD Drive**
+   - Go back to **Hardware** tab
+   - Verify **CD/DVD Drive (ide2)** exists
+   - Verify it shows: `ubuntu-24.04.3-live-server-amd64.iso`
+   - If missing, add it (see ATTACH_ISO_FIRST.md)
+
+   **Step 4: Start VM**
+   - Click **Start**
+   - Open **Console**
+   - Should boot from CD-ROM now!
+
+### Alternative: Use BIOS/UEFI Settings
+
+If Web UI doesn't work:
+
+1. **Start VM**
+2. **Open Console**
+3. **Press F2 or Delete** during boot (enter BIOS)
+4. **Navigate to Boot menu**
+5. **Disable Floppy** in boot order
+6. **Set CD/DVD as first boot device**
+7. **Save and exit**
+
+### API Fix (Attempted)
+
+The script `scripts/fix-floppy-boot.sh` has been run to:
+- Remove floppy drive via API
+- Set boot order to skip floppy
+- Configure boot from CD-ROM
+
+**If it didn't work, use Web UI method above.**
+
+## Why This Happens
+
+Proxmox VMs sometimes have a default floppy drive that takes boot priority. The floppy needs to be:
+1. Removed from hardware, OR
+2. Removed from boot order
+
+## Verification
+
+After fixing:
+- ✅ Floppy drive removed (or disabled in boot order)
+- ✅ Boot order: CD-ROM first
+- ✅ VM boots from Ubuntu ISO
+
+## Quick Checklist
+
+For each VM:
+- [ ] Hardware tab → Remove floppy drive (if exists)
+- [ ] Options tab → Boot Order → Remove floppy
+- [ ] Boot Order → CD-ROM first
+- [ ] Hardware tab → Verify CD/DVD drive with ISO
+- [ ] Start VM → Console → Should boot from CD-ROM

+# Manual Fix: Remove Floppy from Boot Order
+
+## Problem
+VM keeps booting from floppy even though floppy drive isn't in hardware. This is because floppy is in the default BIOS boot order.
+
+## Solution: Set Boot Order via Proxmox Web UI
+
+### Step-by-Step Instructions
+
+1. **Access Proxmox Web UI**
+   - Go to: https://192.168.1.206:8006
+   - Login with root credentials
+
+2. **For Each VM (100, 101, 102, 103):**
+
+   **A. Stop the VM** (if running)
+   - Click VM → **Stop** button
+   - Wait for it to stop
+
+   **B. Go to Options Tab**
+   - Click on the VM
+   - Click **Options** tab (left sidebar)
+
+   **C. Edit Boot Order**
+   - Find **"Boot Order"** in the list
+   - Click on it (or double-click)
+   - Click **"Edit"** button
+
+   **D. Configure Boot Order**
+   - Look for a **text field** or **dropdown**
+   - If text field: Type: `order=ide2;scsi0`
+     - `ide2` = CD/DVD drive (ISO)
+     - `scsi0` = Hard disk
+     - `;` separates devices (first = highest priority)
+   - If dropdown: 
+     - Remove "Floppy" from boot order
+     - Set "CD-ROM" as first
+     - Set "Hard Disk" as second
+   - Click **OK**
+
+   **E. Verify Hardware**
+   - Go to **Hardware** tab
+   - Verify **CD/DVD Drive (ide2)** exists
+   - Verify it shows: `ubuntu-24.04.3-live-server-amd64.iso`
+   - If you see **Floppy Drive**, click it → **Remove**
+
+   **F. Start VM**
+   - Click **Start** button
+   - Open **Console** tab
+   - Should boot from CD-ROM now!
+
+### Alternative: Use BIOS Boot Menu
+
+If Web UI boot order doesn't work:
+
+1. **Start VM**
+2. **Open Console**
+3. **Press F2 or Delete** immediately when VM starts
+4. **Enter BIOS/UEFI settings**
+5. **Navigate to "Boot" menu**
+6. **Find "Boot Priority" or "Boot Order"**
+7. **Move CD/DVD to top** (use +/- or arrow keys)
+8. **Move Floppy to bottom** or disable it
+9. **Save and Exit** (usually F10)
+
+### Quick Test
+
+After setting boot order:
+- Start VM → Console
+- Should see Ubuntu installer boot screen
+- If still shows floppy error, use BIOS method above
+
+## Boot Order Format
+
+In Proxmox, boot order can be set as:
+- `order=ide2;scsi0` = CD-ROM first, then disk
+- `order=scsi0;ide2` = Disk first, then CD-ROM
+- `order=ide2` = CD-ROM only
+
+**We want:** `order=ide2;scsi0`
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+**Boot order field is read-only:**
+- Stop the VM first
+- Some Proxmox versions require VM to be stopped
+
+**CD-ROM still not booting:**
+- Verify ISO is attached in Hardware tab
+- Check boot order text field has `ide2` first
+- Try BIOS boot menu method
+
+**Floppy still appears:**
+- Remove floppy drive from Hardware tab (if exists)
+- Set boot order explicitly to skip floppy
+- Use BIOS to disable floppy boot

+- [x] Documentation updated with security best practices
+
+## 🎯 Immediate Next Steps (Priority Order)
+
+### 1. Complete Environment Configuration
+
+**Status**: Partially complete - Proxmox configured, Azure/Cloudflare pending
+
+```bash
+# Edit .env file and configure remaining credentials
+nano .env  # or use your preferred editor
+```
+
+**Required:**
+- [ ] `AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID` - Get from: `az account show --query id -o tsv`
+- [ ] `AZURE_TENANT_ID` - Get from: `az account show --query tenantId -o tsv`
+- [ ] `AZURE_RESOURCE_GROUP` - Set to: `HC-Stack` (or your preferred name)
+- [ ] `AZURE_LOCATION` - Set to: `eastus` (or your preferred region)
+- [ ] `CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN` - Create at: https://dash.cloudflare.com/profile/api-tokens
+- [ ] `CLOUDFLARE_ACCOUNT_EMAIL` - Your Cloudflare account email
+
+**Verify configuration:**
+```bash
+# Test Proxmox connections (already working)
+./scripts/utils/test-proxmox-connection.sh
+
+# Test Azure CLI connection
+az account show
+
+# Verify environment variables loaded
+source <(grep -v '^#' .env | grep -v '^$' | sed 's/#.*$//' | sed 's/^[[:space:]]*//;s/[[:space:]]*$//' | grep '=')
+echo "Azure Subscription: $AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID"
+echo "Azure Tenant: $AZURE_TENANT_ID"
+```
+
+### 2. Azure Prerequisites Setup
+
+**Create Azure Resource Group:**
+```bash
+# Load environment variables
+source <(grep -v '^#' .env | grep -v '^$' | sed 's/#.*$//' | sed 's/^[[:space:]]*//;s/[[:space:]]*$//' | grep '=')
+
+# Login to Azure
+az login
+
+# Set subscription
+az account set --subscription "$AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID"
+
+# Create resource group
+az group create \
+  --name "$AZURE_RESOURCE_GROUP" \
+  --location "$AZURE_LOCATION"
+
+# Verify
+az group show --name "$AZURE_RESOURCE_GROUP"
+```
+
+**Verify Azure CLI:**
+```bash
+# Check prerequisites
+./scripts/utils/prerequisites-check.sh
+```
+
+### 3. Proxmox Cluster Configuration
+
+**Current Status**: Both servers are accessible but may not be clustered yet.
+
+**Option A: If servers are already clustered:**
+```bash
+# Verify cluster status (run on one of the Proxmox hosts)
+pvecm status
+pvecm nodes
+```
+
+**Option B: If servers need to be clustered:**
+
+**On ML110 (192.168.1.206):**
+```bash
+# SSH to the server
+ssh root@192.168.1.206
+
+# Configure network (if needed)
+export NODE_IP=192.168.1.206
+export NODE_GATEWAY=192.168.1.254  # Adjust based on your network
+export NODE_HOSTNAME=pve-ml110
+
+# Run configuration scripts (if available)
+# ./infrastructure/proxmox/network-config.sh
+# ./infrastructure/proxmox/cluster-setup.sh
+```
+
+**On R630 (192.168.1.49):**
+```bash
+# SSH to the server
+ssh root@192.168.1.49
+
+# Configure network (if needed)
+export NODE_IP=192.168.1.49
+export NODE_GATEWAY=192.168.1.254  # Adjust based on your network
+export NODE_HOSTNAME=pve-r630
+export CLUSTER_NODE_IP=192.168.1.206
+
+# Run configuration scripts (if available)
+# ./infrastructure/proxmox/network-config.sh
+# export NODE_ROLE=join
+# ./infrastructure/proxmox/cluster-setup.sh
+```
+
+**Verify cluster:**
+```bash
+# From either Proxmox host
+pvecm status
+pvecm nodes
+```
+
+### 4. Azure Arc Onboarding
+
+**Onboard Proxmox Hosts to Azure Arc:**
+
+**On ML110:**
+```bash
+# SSH to ML110
+ssh root@192.168.1.206
+
+# Load environment variables (copy .env or set manually)
+export RESOURCE_GROUP="${AZURE_RESOURCE_GROUP:-HC-Stack}"
+export TENANT_ID="${AZURE_TENANT_ID}"
+export SUBSCRIPTION_ID="${AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID}"
+export LOCATION="${AZURE_LOCATION:-eastus}"
+export TAGS="type=proxmox,host=ml110"
+
+# Run onboarding script
+./scripts/azure-arc/onboard-proxmox-hosts.sh
+```
+
+**On R630:**
+```bash
+# SSH to R630
+ssh root@192.168.1.49
+
+# Load environment variables
+export RESOURCE_GROUP="${AZURE_RESOURCE_GROUP:-HC-Stack}"
+export TENANT_ID="${AZURE_TENANT_ID}"
+export SUBSCRIPTION_ID="${AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID}"
+export LOCATION="${AZURE_LOCATION:-eastus}"
+export TAGS="type=proxmox,host=r630"
+
+# Run onboarding script
+./scripts/azure-arc/onboard-proxmox-hosts.sh
+```
+
+**Verify in Azure Portal:**
+- Navigate to: Azure Portal → Azure Arc → Servers
+- Both Proxmox hosts should appear as "Connected"
+
+### 5. Create Service VMs
+
+**Using Terraform (Recommended):**
+
+```bash
+cd terraform/proxmox
+
+# Create terraform.tfvars
+cat > terraform.tfvars <<EOF
+proxmox_host     = "192.168.1.206"  # or 192.168.1.49
+proxmox_username = "root@pam"
+proxmox_password = "${PVE_ROOT_PASS}"
+proxmox_node     = "pve"  # Adjust based on your node name
+EOF
+
+# Initialize and apply
+terraform init
+terraform plan
+terraform apply
+```
+
+**Or manually via Proxmox Web UI:**
+- Access: `https://192.168.1.206:8006` or `https://192.168.1.49:8006`
+- Create VMs for:
+  - Kubernetes (K3s)

+# Troubleshooting VM 9000 Creation - I/O Errors
+
+## Error Summary
+
+The VM creation failed with multiple I/O errors when reading from the source image:
+- `qemu-img: error while reading at byte 130023424: Input/output error`
+- Transfer stopped at ~23% (138.0 MiB of 597.2 MiB)
+
+## Root Causes
+
+1. **Corrupted source image file** - The uploaded image may be damaged
+2. **Disk I/O issues on Proxmox host** - Storage problems on the Proxmox node
+3. **File location mismatch** - File may be in wrong location or format
+4. **Incomplete upload** - File transfer may have been interrupted
+
+## Diagnostic Steps
+
+### 1. Check File Integrity on Proxmox Host
+
+SSH into your Proxmox host and run:
+
+```bash
+# Check if file exists and its size
+ls -lh /var/lib/vz/import/ubuntu-24.04-server-cloudimg-amd64.img.raw
+ls -lh /var/lib/vz/template/iso/ubuntu-24.04-server-cloudimg-amd64.img
+
+# Check file integrity (if file is readable)
+file /var/lib/vz/import/ubuntu-24.04-server-cloudimg-amd64.img.raw
+file /var/lib/vz/template/iso/ubuntu-24.04-server-cloudimg-amd64.img
+
+# Try to read file metadata
+qemu-img info /var/lib/vz/import/ubuntu-24.04-server-cloudimg-amd64.img.raw 2>&1
+qemu-img info /var/lib/vz/template/iso/ubuntu-24.04-server-cloudimg-amd64.img 2>&1
+```
+
+### 2. Check Disk Health
+
+```bash
+# Check disk space
+df -h /var/lib/vz
+
+# Check for disk errors
+dmesg | grep -i error | tail -20
+dmesg | grep -i "i/o error" | tail -20
+
+# Check storage pool health
+pvesm status
+lvdisplay | grep -A 10 "pve"
+```
+
+### 3. Verify File Checksum (if original available)
+
+If you have the original file, compare checksums:
+
+```bash
+# On your local machine (if you have the original)
+sha256sum ubuntu-24.04-server-cloudimg-amd64.img
+
+# On Proxmox host
+sha256sum /var/lib/vz/import/ubuntu-24.04-server-cloudimg-amd64.img.raw
+sha256sum /var/lib/vz/template/iso/ubuntu-24.04-server-cloudimg-amd64.img
+```
+
+## Quick Fix Script
+
+**Automated fix (recommended):**
+```bash
+./scripts/fix-corrupted-image.sh
+```
+
+This script will:
+1. Verify your local image (or download if missing)
+2. Remove corrupted files on Proxmox host
+3. Upload a fresh copy via SCP
+4. Verify the uploaded image
+
+## Solutions
+
+### Solution 1: Re-upload the Image (Recommended)
+
+1. **Delete the corrupted file** (on Proxmox host):
+```bash
+rm -f /var/lib/vz/import/ubuntu-24.04-server-cloudimg-amd64.img.raw
+rm -f /var/lib/vz/template/iso/ubuntu-24.04-server-cloudimg-amd64.img
+```
+
+2. **Re-download the image** (on your local machine):
+```bash
+cd /home/intlc/projects/loc_az_hci
+./scripts/download-ubuntu-cloud-image.sh 24.04
+```
+
+3. **Upload via Proxmox Web UI**:
+   - Go to: **Datacenter** → **local** → **Content** → **Upload**
+   - Select: `downloads/ubuntu-24.04-server-cloudimg-amd64.img`
+   - Wait for upload to complete
+   - Verify file appears in storage
+
+4. **Verify upload** (on Proxmox host):
+```bash
+qemu-img info /var/lib/vz/template/iso/ubuntu-24.04-server-cloudimg-amd64.img
+```
+
+5. **Retry VM creation** using the steps in `CREATE_VM_9000_STEPS.md`
+
+### Solution 2: Use API/CLI to Upload (Alternative)
+
+If Web UI upload fails, use command line:
+
+```bash
+# On Proxmox host, copy file to correct location
+scp ubuntu-24.04-server-cloudimg-amd64.img root@<proxmox-ip>:/var/lib/vz/template/iso/
+
+# Or use Proxmox API (from local machine with API access)
+# See scripts/create-template-via-api.sh
+```
+
+### Solution 3: Download Directly on Proxmox Host
+
+```bash
+# SSH into Proxmox host
+cd /var/lib/vz/template/iso
+
+# Download directly
+wget https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/releases/24.04/release/ubuntu-24.04-server-cloudimg-amd64.img
+
+# Verify
+qemu-img info ubuntu-24.04-server-cloudimg-amd64.img
+```
+
+### Solution 4: Use Different Storage Location
+
+If `local` storage has issues, try a different storage:
+
+1. **Check available storage**:
+```bash
+pvesm status
+```
+
+2. **Upload to different storage** (e.g., `local-lvm` or NFS)
+
+3. **Create VM using different storage** in the Disks tab
+
+### Solution 5: Check and Fix Storage Issues
+
+If disk I/O errors persist:
+
+```bash
+# Check LVM status
+vgdisplay
+lvdisplay
+
+# Check for filesystem errors
+fsck -n /dev/pve/root  # Dry run, don't fix yet
+
+# If errors found, schedule filesystem check on next reboot
+touch /forcefsck
+reboot
+```
+
+## Prevention
+
+1. **Always verify uploads**: Check file size and integrity after upload
+2. **Use checksums**: Compare SHA256 checksums before and after upload
+3. **Monitor disk health**: Regularly check `dmesg` for I/O errors
+4. **Use reliable storage**: Prefer local-lvm or NFS over local if available
+
+## Alternative: Create VM from ISO Instead
+
+If cloud image continues to fail, use ISO installation method:
+
+1. Download Ubuntu Server ISO
+2. Upload ISO to Proxmox
+3. Create VM with ISO attached
+4. Install Ubuntu manually
+5. Configure Cloud-Init
+6. Convert to template
+
+See `scripts/create-vms-from-iso.sh` for automation.
+
+## Next Steps After Fix
+
+Once the image is successfully uploaded and verified:
+
+1. Follow `CREATE_VM_9000_STEPS.md` to create VM 9000
+2. Configure Cloud-Init settings
+3. Convert to template
+4. Verify template works by cloning a test VM
+
+## Verification Scripts
+
+After fixing the issue, verify everything is working:
+
+```bash
+# Verify image integrity on Proxmox host
+./scripts/verify-proxmox-image.sh
+
+# Or manually check (SSH into Proxmox)
+qemu-img info /var/lib/vz/template/iso/ubuntu-24.04-server-cloudimg-amd64.img
+```

+# Ubuntu Installation: Disk Selection Guide
+
+## Problem
+Ubuntu installer is trying to use more disk space than the VM's allocated disk, or showing multiple storage devices.
+
+## Solution: Select Only the Correct Disk
+
+During Ubuntu installation, you need to **manually select only the VM's hard disk** and ignore the CD-ROM/ISO.
+
+### Step-by-Step: Disk Selection
+
+1. **During Ubuntu Installation:**
+   - When you reach **"Storage configuration"** or **"Installation type"**
+   - Select **"Custom storage layout"** or **"Manual"**
+
+2. **Identify the Correct Disk:**
+   - Look for disk with size matching your VM:
+     - **VM 100 (cloudflare-tunnel)**: ~40GB disk
+     - **VM 101 (k3s-master)**: ~80GB disk
+     - **VM 102 (git-server)**: ~100GB disk
+     - **VM 103 (observability)**: ~200GB disk
+   - **Ignore the CD-ROM/ISO** (usually shows as ~3GB or "CD/DVD")
+
+3. **Select Only the Hard Disk:**
+   - Click on the **hard disk** (not the CD-ROM)
+   - The disk should show as:
+     - **Device**: `/dev/sda` or `/dev/vda` (SCSI/VirtIO)
+     - **Size**: Matches your VM's disk size
+     - **Type**: "SCSI disk" or "VirtIO Block Device"
+
+4. **Partition the Disk:**
+   - Select the hard disk
+   - Click **"Add partition"** or **"Use entire disk"**
+   - Recommended: **"Use entire disk"** for simplicity
+   - Or create partitions:
+     - **EFI Boot**: 512MB (if UEFI)
+     - **Root (/)**: Rest of disk
+     - **Swap**: Optional (2-4GB)
+
+5. **Continue Installation:**
+   - Review the partition layout
+   - Ensure only the hard disk is selected
+   - Click **"Done"** or **"Continue"**
+
+### What to Ignore
+
+- ❌ **CD/DVD drive** (ide2) - This is the Ubuntu ISO, NOT a disk
+- ❌ **Any device showing ~3GB** - This is likely the ISO
+- ❌ **Floppy drive** (if shown) - Ignore this
+
+### Expected Disk Sizes
+
+| VM | Disk Size | Device Name |
+|----|-----------|-------------|
+| VM 100 | 40GB | `/dev/sda` or `/dev/vda` |
+| VM 101 | 80GB | `/dev/sda` or `/dev/vda` |
+| VM 102 | 100GB | `/dev/sda` or `/dev/vda` |
+| VM 103 | 200GB | `/dev/sda` or `/dev/vda` |
+
+### Troubleshooting
+
+**Installer shows "Not enough space":**
+- You might have selected the CD-ROM instead of the hard disk
+- Go back and select the larger disk (matches your VM size)
+
+**Multiple disks shown:**
+- Select only the disk matching your VM's size
+- Ignore the CD-ROM (smaller, ~3GB)
+
+**Can't find the correct disk:**
+- Look for the largest disk (matches your VM size)
+- Check device names: `/dev/sda` or `/dev/vda` for SCSI/VirtIO
+
+### Quick Reference
+
+**During Installation:**
+1. **Storage Configuration** → **Custom/Manual**
+2. **Select disk** matching your VM size (40GB, 80GB, 100GB, or 200GB)
+3. **Ignore CD-ROM** (smaller, ~3GB)
+4. **Use entire disk** or create partitions
+5. **Continue** installation
+
+### Visual Guide
+
+```
+Ubuntu Installer Storage Selection:
+
+┌─────────────────────────────────────┐
+│ Storage Devices                     │
+├─────────────────────────────────────┤
+│ ☐ CD/DVD Drive (ide2)               │  ← IGNORE THIS
+│   3.2 GB - ubuntu-24.04.iso         │
+├─────────────────────────────────────┤
+│ ☑ SCSI Disk (scsi0)                 │  ← SELECT THIS
+│   40 GB - local-lvm:vm-100-disk-0   │
+└─────────────────────────────────────┘
+```
+
+## Summary
+
+- ✅ **Select only the hard disk** (matches your VM size)
+- ❌ **Ignore the CD-ROM** (ISO image, ~3GB)
+- ✅ **Use entire disk** for simplicity
+- ✅ **Continue** with installation

+# VM Status Report
+
+## Current Status
+
+### VM Creation: ✅ COMPLETED
+All 4 VMs have been created and are running:
+- ✅ cloudflare-tunnel (ID: 100) - Running
+- ✅ k3s-master (ID: 101) - Running  
+- ✅ git-server (ID: 102) - Running
+- ✅ observability (ID: 103) - Running
+
+### Configuration Status: ⚠️ PARTIAL
+
+**Issues Identified:**
+- Network interfaces (net0) may need manual configuration
+- Disk storage (scsi0) configured but may need verification
+- ISO/CD-ROM (ide2) may need manual attachment
+- Boot order needs verification
+
+**Note:** Some Proxmox API parameter format issues prevent full automation. Manual verification via Proxmox Web UI is recommended.
+
+### OS Installation: ❌ NOT STARTED
+- VMs are created but Ubuntu 24.04 has not been installed yet
+- VMs are not reachable via network (expected until OS is installed)
+
+## Next Steps (In Order)
+
+### Step 1: Verify VM Configuration via Proxmox Web UI
+**Status:** ⏳ PENDING
+
+1. Access Proxmox: https://192.168.1.206:8006
+2. For each VM (100, 101, 102, 103):
+   - Open VM → Hardware
+   - Verify:
+     - Network device exists and is connected to vmbr0
+     - Hard disk exists with correct size
+     - CD/DVD drive has Ubuntu ISO attached
+     - Boot order is set to CD-ROM first
+   - Fix any missing configurations manually
+
+### Step 2: Install Ubuntu 24.04 on Each VM
+**Status:** ⏳ PENDING
+
+1. For each VM:
+   - Open VM → Console
+   - Boot from Ubuntu ISO
+   - Complete installation:
+     - Use static IP addresses:
+       - VM 100: 192.168.1.60/24, gateway 192.168.1.254
+       - VM 101: 192.168.1.188/24, gateway 192.168.1.254
+       - VM 102: 192.168.1.121/24, gateway 192.168.1.254
+       - VM 103: 192.168.1.82/24, gateway 192.168.1.254
+     - Create user account (remember credentials for SSH)
+     - Complete installation
+
+### Step 3: Verify OS Installation
+**Status:** ⏳ PENDING
+
+Run verification script:
+```bash
+./scripts/check-vm-status.sh
+```
+
+This will check:
+- Network connectivity
+- SSH availability
+- Ubuntu installation verification
+
+### Step 4: Run Setup Scripts (After OS Installation)
+**Status:** ⏳ PENDING
+
+Only proceed after Step 3 shows all VMs are ready.
+
+For each VM:
+1. Copy setup script to VM
+2. SSH to VM
+3. Run setup script with sudo
+
+**Cloudflare Tunnel VM (192.168.1.60):**
+```bash
+scp scripts/setup-cloudflare-tunnel.sh user@192.168.1.60:/tmp/
+ssh user@192.168.1.60
+sudo bash /tmp/setup-cloudflare-tunnel.sh
+```
+
+**K3s VM (192.168.1.188):**
+```bash
+scp scripts/setup-k3s.sh user@192.168.1.188:/tmp/
+ssh user@192.168.1.188
+sudo bash /tmp/setup-k3s.sh
+```
+
+**Git Server VM (192.168.1.121):**
+```bash
+scp scripts/setup-git-server.sh user@192.168.1.121:/tmp/
+ssh user@192.168.1.121
+sudo bash /tmp/setup-git-server.sh
+```
+
+**Observability VM (192.168.1.82):**
+```bash
+scp scripts/setup-observability.sh user@192.168.1.82:/tmp/
+ssh user@192.168.1.82
+sudo bash /tmp/setup-observability.sh
+```
+
+## Verification Commands
+
+### Check VM Status in Proxmox:
+```bash
+./scripts/check-vm-status.sh
+```
+
+### Check VM Configurations:
+```bash
+# Via Proxmox Web UI or API
+# Access: https://192.168.1.206:8006
+```
+
+### Test VM Connectivity:
+```bash
+for ip in 192.168.1.60 192.168.1.188 192.168.1.121 192.168.1.82; do
+  ping -c 1 -W 2 $ip && echo "$ip: ✓ Reachable" || echo "$ip: ✗ Not reachable"
+done
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### If VMs don't boot:
+1. Check VM hardware configuration in Proxmox Web UI
+2. Verify ISO is attached to CD/DVD drive
+3. Check boot order (should be CD-ROM first)
+4. Verify VM has sufficient resources
+
+### If network configuration fails:
+1. Manually configure network in Proxmox Web UI
+2. Ensure network bridge (vmbr0) exists
+3. Check VLAN configuration if needed
+
+### If setup scripts fail:
+1. Verify Ubuntu is fully installed
+2. Check network connectivity
+3. Ensure user has sudo privileges
+4. Review script logs for specific errors
+

+# VM Template & Install Script Setup Guide
+
+## Overview
+
+This guide explains how to use Cloud-Init templates and automated install scripts for each VM.
+
+## Architecture
+
+### VM Configuration
+
+| VM ID | Name | IP Address | Install Script | Purpose |
+|-------|------|------------|-----------------|---------|
+| 100 | cloudflare-tunnel | 192.168.1.60 | `setup-cloudflare-tunnel.sh` | Cloudflare Zero Trust Tunnel |
+| 101 | k3s-master | 192.168.1.188 | `setup-k3s.sh` | Kubernetes (K3s) cluster |
+| 102 | git-server | 192.168.1.121 | `setup-git-server.sh` | Gitea Git server |
+| 103 | observability | 192.168.1.82 | `setup-observability.sh` | Prometheus + Grafana |
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+1. **Cloud-Init Template**: Ubuntu 24.04 Cloud-Init template in Proxmox
+2. **SSH Key**: SSH key pair for accessing VMs
+3. **Network**: VMs must be reachable on their assigned IPs
+
+## Step 1: Create Cloud-Init Template
+
+### Option A: Download Official Ubuntu Cloud Image
+
+```bash
+# Download Ubuntu 24.04 Cloud Image
+./scripts/download-ubuntu-cloud-image.sh 24.04
+
+# Upload to Proxmox and convert to template
+# See: docs/proxmox-ubuntu-images.md
+```
+
+### Option B: Create Template from Installed VM
+
+1. Install Ubuntu 24.04 from ISO on a VM
+2. Install Cloud-Init: `sudo apt install cloud-init`
+3. Configure Cloud-Init
+4. Convert VM to template in Proxmox Web UI
+
+## Step 2: Create VMs from Template
+
+### Automated Method
+
+```bash
+# Set template name (if different from default)
+export TEMPLATE_NAME="ubuntu-24.04-cloudinit"
+
+# Create all VMs from template
+./scripts/create-vms-from-template.sh
+```
+
+### Manual Method (Proxmox Web UI)
+
+1. **Clone Template:**
+   - Proxmox Web UI → Template → Clone
+   - Set VM ID (100, 101, 102, 103)
+   - Set name (cloudflare-tunnel, k3s-master, etc.)
+
+2. **Configure Cloud-Init:**
+   - Options tab → Cloud-Init
+   - Set IP address
+   - Set gateway
+   - Set DNS servers
+   - Set SSH keys
+
+3. **Start VM:**
+   - VM will boot and configure automatically
+
+## Step 3: Apply Install Scripts
+
+### Automated Method
+
+```bash
+# Set SSH key path (if different)
+export SSH_KEY="~/.ssh/id_rsa"
+export SSH_USER="ubuntu"
+
+# Apply install scripts to all VMs
+./scripts/apply-install-scripts.sh
+```
+
+### Manual Method
+
+For each VM:
+
+1. **SSH to VM:**
+   ```bash
+   ssh ubuntu@<VM_IP>
+   ```
+
+2. **Copy install script:**
+   ```bash
+   scp scripts/setup-<service>.sh ubuntu@<VM_IP>:/tmp/
+   ```
+
+3. **Run install script:**
+   ```bash
+   ssh ubuntu@<VM_IP>
+   sudo chmod +x /tmp/setup-<service>.sh
+   sudo /tmp/setup-<service>.sh
+   ```
+
+## Complete Automated Setup
+
+Run the complete setup script:
+
+```bash
+./scripts/setup-vms-complete.sh
+```
+
+This script will:
+1. Check for template
+2. Create VMs from template
+3. Wait for VMs to boot
+4. Apply install scripts
+
