I made a Proxmox VLANs, Bridges, and Bonds tutorial awhile ago, but since then, the Software Defined Networking module has come out of tech preview! So it's time to take a look at it!

With SDN, you can manage your Proxmox VNets and VNet Zones cluster-wide, and enforce permissions on users who can configure VNets for VM and Container resources. While the SDN has additional functionality for managing DNS, DHCP, and VXLAN, those are still in tech preview so I'm only going to cover the basics today. Let me know if you want a follow-up on those topics!

Proxmox also has a section in their admin manual on SDN which you may find helpful, as it covers all options thoroughly:
