VMware Kills Off 56 Products
Thanks. I looked at it briefly, but the project doesn't seem to be headed in a good direction.
The main interface (Xenadmin) now has an EOL notice as their README: https://github.com/xcp-ng/xenadmin
The other alternative now seems to be a paid solution:

That doesn't seem like a good match for my needs. :(

Accidentally corrupted my Proxmox cluster on Christmas Eve Eve... welcome XCP-NG!
My only previous experience with a gui tool at that time was using the windows client which isn't very pretty (but, as it tends to be with software from my experience, even though it's ugly, it felt more responsive, and didn't need to be hosted, back when i had rather anemic hosts )

Hypervisor options - Xen vs Proxmox
On a VM and have all the otherwise paid features like Backup. Works without any problems. Also you can use XCP-NG center https://github.com/xcp-ng/xenadmin on windows to manage your Hypervisor.

AWS Cloud Platform for highly loaded WordPress website
The missing piece of puzzle is the AMI "golden image" that will be used to start the instances in autoscaling group. The AMI has to have NGINX and PHP installed with the list of required modules enabled. The great tool to brew one is hashicorp packer.

The 2024 Web Hosting Report
To manage a VM, you can use something as simple as just manual actions over SSH, or can use tools like Ansible, Hashicorp's Packer and Terraform or other automations. For an app where there is minimal load and security/reliability concern, VMs are still a great option that provide a lot of value for the buck

13.2 ZFS root AMIs in AWS
It is straightforward to build them with packer (I have built AMIs for 13.0 and 13.1, but 13.2 should be exactly the same). I've been meaning to write a blog post about it for a while, but have not gotten to it yet... In any case, what I am doing is using the EBS Surrogate Builder to start an instance running the official FreeBSD 13.2 image with an extra volume attached and run a script to create a zpool on the extra volume and bootstrap and configure FreeBSD 13.2-RELEASE on it. After that packer takes care of creating an AMI out of that extra volume, so you can use it... If you have any issues, let me know, and maybe I will finally get to writing that blog post...

auto-provisioning multiple raspberry pi's
Packer is a tool that can be used to build machine images. Basically, it takes a base image, runs a series of steps to provision that image, and then burns a new image. In my workplace we use it heavily to build AWS AMIs. But it has an ARM plugin that looks to be very very suitable for building customised Raspberry Pi images (my quick read of the doco there says it can go ahead and write the final image to an SD card for you too).

Packer preseed file seems to not be read
Seems related to https://github.com/hashicorp/packer/issues/12118 But the workaround discribed in the comments doesn’t seems to work anymore

How to create AMI which also copies the user data?
I'd suggest using a tool like Packer to build a gold image based on your base AMI and all your changes. Then you'll have your own AMI you can launch new instances with.
