keepalived_virtual_server_group

back to resource list (opens in a new tab)

The keepalived_virtual_server_group resource can be used to manage configuration within the virtual_server_group section of keepalived.conf.

This feature offers a way to simplify your configuration by factorizing virtual server definitions. If you need to define a bunch of virtual servers with exactly the same real server topology then this feature will make your configuration much more readable and will optimize healthchecking task by only spawning one healthchecking where multiple virtual server declaration will spawn a dedicated healthchecker for every real server which will waste system resources.
