debops.keepalived

The keepalived service can be used to provide simple load balancing and high availability services in a Linux cluster. The service uses the Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol for communication between the nodes in a cluster and can perform specified actions on the nodes - create or remove IP addresses, start or stop services, and more.

The debops.keepalived Ansible role can be used to install and configure the keepalived service on Debian and Ubuntu hosts. The role allows Jinja expressions to be used in the keepalived.conf(5) configuration file to augment generated configuration files as needed.
