Familiarity with Proxmox VE (Virtual Environment), KVM/QEMU, containerization (LXC), storage management, and backup solutions is crucial for daily tasks. Strong problem-solving abilities, effective communication, and a proactive, service-oriented mindset help you excel in supporting teams and troubleshooting issues.
