PuppetLabs Module for haproxy (phrawzty remix)

HAProxy is an HA proxying daemon for load-balancing to clustered services. It can proxy TCP directly, or other kinds of traffic such as HTTP.

This module is based on Puppetlabs' official HAProxy module; however, it has been "remixed" for use at Mozilla. There are two major areas where the original module has been changed :

• Storeconfigs, while present, are no longer required.
• The "listen" stanza format has been abandoned in favour of a frontend / backend style configuration.

Basic Usage

A very simple configuration to proxy unrelated Redis nodes :

  class { 'haproxy': }

  haproxy::frontend { 'in_redis':
    ipaddress       => $::ipaddress,
    ports           => '6379',
    default_backend => 'out_redis',
    options         => { 'balance' => 'roundrobin' }
  }

  haproxy::backend { 'out_redis':
    listening_service => 'redis',
    server_names      => ['node01', 'node02'],
    ipaddresses       => ['node01.redis.server.foo', 'node02.redis.server.foo'],
    ports             => '6379',
    options           => 'check'
  }

Configuring haproxy options

The base haproxy class can accept two parameters which will configure basic behaviour of the haproxy server daemon:

• global_options to configure the global section in haproxy.cfg
• defaults_options to configure the defaults section in haproxy.cfg

Configuring haproxy daemon listener (frontend)

One haproxy::frontend defined resource should be defined for each HAProxy loadbalanced set of backend servers. The title of the haproxy::frontend resource is the key to which balancer members will be proxied to. The ipaddress field should be the public ip address which the loadbalancer will be contacted on. The ports attribute can accept an array or comma-separated list of ports which should be proxied to the haproxy::backend nodes.

Configuring haproxy loadbalanced member nodes (backend)

The haproxy::backend resource should be defined for every backend service that is serving loadbalanced traffic. The listening_service attribute will associate it with haproxy::frontend directives on the haproxy node. ipaddresses and ports will be assigned to the member to be contacted on. If an array of ipaddresses and server_names are provided then they will be added to the config in lock-step.

If you're not using storeconfigs, then listening_service is useless - just put whatever you want in there. :P

Dependencies

• Tested and built on Ubuntu and CentOS.
• Requires ripienaar's excellent puppet-concat(https://github.com/ripienaar/puppet-concat) module.
