+# VM Deployment Checklist
+
+## Pre-Deployment Checklist
+
+### 1. Configuration Validation
+
+- [ ] Run validation script
+  ```bash
+  ./scripts/validate-and-optimize-vms.sh
+  ```
+- [ ] Fix any errors reported
+- [ ] Review warnings (may be acceptable)
+
+### 2. Quota Verification
+
+- [ ] Check tenant quota (if applicable)
+  ```bash
+  ./scripts/pre-deployment-quota-check.sh <vm-file>
+  ```
+- [ ] Verify Proxmox resources
+  ```bash
+  ./scripts/check-proxmox-quota-ssh.sh
+  ```
+- [ ] Ensure sufficient resources available
+
+### 3. Image Verification
+
+- [ ] Verify image exists on Proxmox storage
+- [ ] Confirm image name matches specification
+- [ ] Check image is accessible on target node
+
+### 4. Network Configuration
+
+- [ ] Verify network bridge exists
+- [ ] Check IP address availability
+- [ ] Confirm DNS configuration
+
+### 5. Storage Verification
+
+- [ ] Verify storage pool exists
+- [ ] Check storage pool has sufficient space
+- [ ] Confirm storage pool supports VM disks
+
+## Deployment Steps
+
+### Step 1: Validate
+```bash
+./scripts/validate-and-optimize-vms.sh examples/production/phoenix/dns-primary.yaml
+```
+
+### Step 2: Check Quota
+```bash
+./scripts/pre-deployment-quota-check.sh examples/production/phoenix/dns-primary.yaml
+```
+
+### Step 3: Deploy
+```bash
+kubectl apply -f examples/production/phoenix/dns-primary.yaml
+```
+
+### Step 4: Monitor
+```bash
+kubectl get proxmoxvm -w
+kubectl describe proxmoxvm phoenix-dns-primary
+```
+
+### Step 5: Verify
+```bash
+# Check VM status
+kubectl get proxmoxvm phoenix-dns-primary
+
+# Check VM details
+kubectl describe proxmoxvm phoenix-dns-primary
+
+# Check controller logs
+kubectl logs -n crossplane-system -l app=crossplane-provider-proxmox --tail=50
+```
+
+## Post-Deployment Verification
+
+### VM Status
+- [ ] VM is in "running" state
+- [ ] VM has assigned IP address
+- [ ] QEMU guest agent is active
+
+### Service Verification
+- [ ] Required services are running
+- [ ] Packages are installed
+- [ ] Configuration is correct
+
+### Connectivity
+- [ ] SSH access works
+- [ ] Network connectivity verified
+- [ ] DNS resolution works (if applicable)
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Quota Check Fails
+1. Check current quota usage
+2. Reduce resource requirements
+3. Request quota increase
+4. Use different tenant
+
+### VM Creation Fails
+1. Check controller logs
+2. Verify Proxmox connectivity
+3. Check resource availability
+4. Verify image exists
+
+### Guest Agent Not Starting
+1. Check VM logs
+2. Verify package installation
+3. Check systemd status
+4. Review cloud-init logs
+
+## Quick Reference
+
+### Validation
+```bash
+./scripts/validate-and-optimize-vms.sh
+```
+
+### Quota Check
+```bash
+./scripts/pre-deployment-quota-check.sh
+```
+
+### Proxmox Resources
+```bash
+./scripts/check-proxmox-quota-ssh.sh
+```
+
+### Deploy VM
+```bash
+kubectl apply -f <vm-file>
+```
+
+### Check Status
+```bash
+kubectl get proxmoxvm -A
+```
