How to setup HAProxy load balancer?
Setting up an HAProxy load balancer is a quite straightforward process.

This is done by creating a configuration file /etc/haproxy/haproxy. cfg with the defining settings.

What is the difference between HAProxy and load balancer?
HAProxy (High Availability Proxy) is open source proxy and load balancing server software. It provides high availability at the network (TCP) and application (HTTP/S) layers, improving speed and performance by distributing workload across multiple servers.
Is HAProxy a layer 7 load balancer?
HAProxy supports both Layer 4 (tcp) and Layer 7 (http) load balancing modes. Layer 4 allows all data traffic to be forwarded directly to backend servers streamlining user requests. In Layer 7 mode, HAProxy can evaluate the HTTP headers and forward to backend servers based on content of user request.
