Now let's create 3 Virtual Machines based on that information.
Note that Master Node might need bit more resources than Worker Nodes

qm create 191 \
  --name k8s-master \
  --agent 1 \
  --balloon 0 \
  --cores 4 \
  --sockets 1 \
  --cpu host \
  --memory 4096 \
  --numa 0 \
  --scsihw virtio-scsi-single \
  --net0 virtio,bridge=vmbr0,firewall=1 \
  --ide2 local:iso/ubuntu-26.04-live-server-amd64.iso,media=cdrom \
  --boot "order=scsi0;ide2;net0" \
  --scsi0 transcend:50,discard=on,iothread=1,ssd=1

qm create 192 \
  --name k8s-worker1 \
  --agent 1 \
  --balloon 0 \
  --cores 2 \
  --sockets 1 \
  --cpu host \
  --memory 2048 \
  --numa 0 \
  --scsihw virtio-scsi-single \
  --net0 virtio,bridge=vmbr0,firewall=1 \
  --ide2 local:iso/ubuntu-26.04-live-server-amd64.iso,media=cdrom \
  --boot "order=scsi0;ide2;net0" \
  --scsi0 transcend:50,discard=on,iothread=1,ssd=1

qm create 193 \
  --name k8s-worker2 \
  --agent 1 \
  --balloon 0 \
  --cores 2 \
  --sockets 1 \
  --cpu host \
  --memory 2048 \
  --numa 0 \
  --scsihw virtio-scsi-single \
  --net0 virtio,bridge=vmbr0,firewall=1 \
  --ide2 local:iso/ubuntu-26.04-live-server-amd64.iso,media=cdrom \
  --boot "order=scsi0;ide2;net0" \
  --scsi0 transcend:50,discard=on,iothread=1,ssd=1

Note that this is true for my setup with Transcend SSD used as external storage, for you - if you run default Proxmox setup
the qm code might look more like that:

qm create 191 \
  --name k8s-master \
  --agent 1 \
  --balloon 0 \
  --cores 4 \
  --sockets 1 \
  --cpu host \
  --memory 4096 \
  --numa 0 \
  --scsihw virtio-scsi-single \
  --net0 virtio,bridge=vmbr0,firewall=1 \
  --ide2 local:iso/ubuntu-26.04-live-server-amd64.iso,media=cdrom \
  --boot "order=scsi0;ide2;net0" \
  --scsi0 local-lvm:50,discard=on,iothread=1,ssd=1

but you simply have to build it based on the output of your conf file, or simply just go through the manual process of VM creation - whichever you find easier.
