This commit uses a keepalived role, available in
ansible galaxy, to configure keepalived for haproxy
Keepalived makes the haproxy truely HA, by having
haproxy's VIP highly available between the hosts
defined in the inventory.
The keepalived role configuration is fully
documented on the upstream role.
To configure keepalived on your host, you only have to
give it a variable (dict). A template handles the
generation of the configuration of keepalived.
By default, the variable files defined in vars/configs/
are enough to have a keepalived working for haproxy,
with a master-backup configuration.
You can define other variable files by setting
haproxy_keepalived_(master|backup)_vars in your
user_variables. This should point to a "variable
template" file like the one you can find
in vars/configs/*
The haproxy playbook has been changed to rely on
the dynamic generation script. It will use the env.d
to have haproxy hosts. The first host from the
generated inventory will be considered as master,
while the others are slaves. The keepalived role
will only run if more than haproxy host is found
in the inventory. This behaviour can be changed
and keepalived can be disabled by the variable:
haproxy_use_keepalived.
The implemented variables are the following:
* haproxy_keepalived_(ext|int)ernal_vip_cidr
* haproxy_keepalived_(ext|int)ernal_interface
* haproxy_keepalived_(ext|int)ernal_virtual_router_id
* haproxy_keepalived_priority_backup
* haproxy_keepalived_priority_master
* haproxy_keepalived_vars_file
In these variables, only the following variables
are necessary: keepalived_(ext|int)ernal_vip_cidr
However, it's recommended to also configure the
keepalived_(ext|int)ernal_interface
(to know which interface the vips can bind on)
