Keepalived and VRRP: a virtual IP that follows the service

50 min Debian 12 Versions Keepalived 2.2 (Rocky 9, Debian 12, Ubuntu 24.04), 2.3 (Debian 13)

Objective

Remove the load balancer's single point of failure: two machines, ml-lb-01 and ml-lb-02, run HAProxy, and a virtual IP address (VIP), the one published in DNS, moves automatically from one to the other when the first goes down or when HAProxy stops.
