puppet-keepalived

Overview

Install, enable and configure the keepalived VRRP and LVS management daemon.

• keepalived : Main class to install, enable and configure the service.
• keepalived::vrrp : Wrapper class for VRRP-only keepalived setups.

The configuration file to be used can be specificed using either the $content parameter (typically for templates), or the $source parameter. If neither is specified, you will need to manage it rom elsewhere.

See the templates/sysconfig.erb file for the possible $options values. The default is -D which enables both VRRP and LVS.

Examples

Typical installation for VRRP only (no LVS), using a static existing configuration file :

class { '::keepalived':
  source  => "puppet:///${module_name}/keepalived.conf",
  options => '-D --vrrp',
}

Similar to the above, but using a template, which can be useful with multiple servers which will be part of the same VRRP group and/or have the same LVS configuration :

class { '::keepalived':
  content => template("${module_name}/keepalived.conf.erb"),
}

For the keepalived::vrrp class, configuration for the template needs to be passed into the $global_defs and $instances hash parameters. Their structure follows the structure of the keepalived.conf file :

case $::hostname {
  'web1':  { $vrrp_state = 'MASTER' $vrrp_priority = '50' }
  default: { $vrrp_state = 'BACKUP' $vrrp_priority = '10' }
}
class { '::keepalived::vrrp':
  global_defs => {
    router_id => $::hostname,
  },
  instances => {
    web => {
      advert_int        => '3',
      authentication    => {
        auth_type => 'PASS',
        auth_pass => 'abcd1234',
      },
      interface         => 'eth1',
      priority          => $vrrp_priority,
      state             => $vrrp_state,
      virtual_ipaddress => {
        '10.0.0.13/24' => 'dev eth0 label eth0:13',
        '10.0.1.13/24' => 'dev eth1 label eth1:13',
      },
      virtual_router_id => '13',
    },
  },
}

Note that you may also set the $global_defs_defaults parameter, which will be merged with the more specific $global_defs, which is especially useful with hiera :

---
keepalived::vrrp::global_defs_defaults:
  notification_email:
    - 'root@example.com'
  notification_email_from: 'root@example.com'
  router_id: "%{::hostname}"
  smtp_connect_timeout: '30'
  smtp_server: '10.0.45.156'
