We currently have multiple proxmox clusters in multiple datacenter
locations and just created some tooling to handle the migrations.
It grabs the configuration and configures on the other end and handles the
storage migration as well.

Its an open source project and in active development:
- https://github.com/ossobv/proxmove
- https://pypi.python.org/pypi/proxmove

We currently extend it on the usecases we encounter.
