// The cluster of Proxmox VE, by its API behind an API token (GET /api2/json/cluster/status): whether it has
// quorum, how many of its nodes are online, and whether each node is. A single Proxmox VE server, without
// cluster, reads "standalone".
// The address is any node of the cluster, the host's: https://<host:address>:<port>/api2/json/.
