Configuration of HAProxy using Ansible in AWS

Hello everyone,

In this article, we are going to configure HAProxy using Ansible in AWS,

So let's get started...

I have launched three instances in aws👇

Configuration of Control Node:

Install Ansible in Control Node

To install Ansible use command pip3 install ansible and then install sshpass using command yum install sshpass

Create Inventory

After installing Ansible create an Inventory anywhere in the system, here I have created an inventory named ip.txt and inside inventory put Managed Node username, Password, and the connection type.

Here I have created group one of the load balancer and other of Backend Server.

Check the connectivity of Managed Node

To check connectivity using command ansible all -m ping.

Create Ansible Configuration file

Create Playbook

Configure Haproxy file

• Before we run the playbook lets check first is Haproxy is installed in the Control node or not, to check that use command rpm -q haproxy

Here we can see Haproxy is not installed.

Run the Playbook.

• now check Haproxy is installed in the Control node or not

Here you can see Haproxy is installed and launched successfully...

• Check in Managed node is webserver configured or not

Here you can see it is configured successfully...

Check Haproxy or Load balancer is working or not

Here you can see it is working...🙌

So that's how we can configure Haproxy in AWS using Ansible...

Thank you!❄
