On the other hand, HAProxy is an open-source software load balancer that makes it easier to distribute traffic across several servers in a scalable manner.

By using Ansible with HAProxy we can automate the configuration of the load balancer. In other words, the load balancer will always be up-to-date and configured correctly.

Furthermore, Ansible makes it easier to manage HAProxy servers by enabling us to easily scale and manage the infrastructure.

Let’s take a look at some of the benefits offered by using Ansible with HAProxy:

    Ansible makes it easy to configure the HAProxy load balancer. This includes creating new backends, frontends, as well as servers. Additionally, we can also easily configure SSL/TLS, access control lists (ACLs), and so on.

  • Automatic Deployment:

    We can easily deploy new HAProxy servers when required. Additionally, it automatically configures them with the necessary settings and configurations.

  • Scalability:

    A key feature of Ansible is that it promotes easy HAProxy infrastructure scalability.
