Overview

These are fairly simple hosts, with two main services:

  • HAProxy which does the actual load balancing
  • Bird which announces the used service VIPs via BGP to the cloudsw switches

Failover

These hosts are active-active by default. Anycast-healthchecker should automatically depool any misbehaving servers, if not, disabling Puppet and stopping bird.service will manually do that.
