HAProxy/keepalived Prerequisites

Edit online

To set up an HAProxy with the Ceph Object Gateway, you must have:

  • A running IBM Storage Ceph cluster

  • At least two Ceph Object Gateway servers within the same zone are configured to run on port 80. If you follow the simple installation procedure, the gateway instances are in the same zone group and zone by default. If you are using a federated architecture, ensure that the instances are in the same zone group and zone.

  • At least two Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 servers for HAProxy and keepalived.

NOTE: This section assumes that you have at least two Ceph Object Gateway servers running, and that you get a valid response from each of them when running test scripts over port 80.
