HAProxy Details Path to Supercharged K8s Ingress Routing in New Kubernetes eBook
HAProxy Technologies has published a new eBook that showcases the power of using HAProxy in a Kubernetes environment.
Installing the HAProxy Kubernetes Ingress Controller using Helm
Helm, the Kubernetes package manager, revamps the way teams manage their Kubernetes resources and allows them to deploy applications in a consistent and reliable way. It is a valuable tool in a continuous delivery pipeline, with support for quick updates and rollbacks. At HAProxy Technologies, we offer Helm as the preferred method for installing the HAProxy Kubernetes Ingress Controller, and we’ll show you how to customize that installation to fit your use case.
Use HAProxy Response Policies to Stop Threats
HAProxy gives you an arsenal of sophisticated countermeasures including deny, tarpit, silent drop, reject, and shadowban to stop malicious users. There are two phases to stopping malicious users from abusing your website and online applications. Step one is detection, step two is deploying countermeasures. HAProxy is more powerful than nearly every other load balancer when it comes to both detection and countermeasures.
Enable TLS with Let's Encrypt and the HAProxy Kubernetes Ingress Controller
The HAProxy Kubernetes Ingress Controller integrates with cert-manager to provide Let’s Encrypt TLS certificates. When it comes to TLS in Kubernetes, the first thing to appreciate when you use the HAProxy Ingress Controller is that all traffic for all services travelling to your Kubernetes cluster passes through HAProxy. Requests are then routed towards the appropriate backend services depending on metadata in the request, such as the Host header.
Announcing HAProxy Data Plane API 2.1
Version 2.1 of the HAProxy Data Plane API expands support to all available request and response actions, adds Lua actions, and improves file handling. A year ago, we introduced version 1.0 of the HAProxy Data Plane API, enabling you to configure your HAProxy load balancers remotely through a modern RESTful HTTP API. That first version of the API focused on the essential behaviors for creating frontend proxies, backend server pools, ACLs and traffic switching rules.
Get to Know the HAProxy Process Manager
The HAProxy Process Manager allows you to start external programs that are managed under HAProxy. Not everything is compiled directly into HAProxy’s C code. Some components are written using other programming languages and run alongside the load balancer.
Announcing HAProxy 2.2
HAProxy Technologies is excited to announce the release of HAProxy 2.2, featuring a fully dynamic SSL certificate storage, a native response generator, an overhaul to its health checking system, and advanced ring logging with syslog over TCP. Watch our on-demand webinar Ask Me Anything About HAProxy 2.2. If you missed the webinar about HAProxy 2.2, you can watch it on-demand as well.
HAProxyConf 2019 - HAProxy Go Packages Ecosystem with Marko Juraga
This presentation will describe how Go and other developers can integrate with HAProxy via the HAProxy Data Plane API and it’s packages. We will explain the motivation behind this new product and provide an overview of how we used the OpenAPI specification, including how models and server stubs are generated using go-swagger. We will delve deeper with describing client-native and config-parser packages and explain how and when to use them, by showing how we use them in our HAProxy Kubernetes Ingress Controller. We will also briefly touch on how you can contribute to these projects.
HAProxy Go Packages Ecosystem
Under the hood, the HAProxy Data Plane API and the HAProxy Kubernetes Ingress Controller are powered by a shared set of Go libraries that apply changes to an HAProxy configuration file. In this talk, Marko Juraga describes how these libraries are developed and invites you to use them in your own projects when you need to integrate with HAProxy.
