This is gonna be a tough Friday for IT departments...

Almost certain that AWS uses HAProxy behind their ELB (Elastic Load Balancer) service. But if you know HAProxy, you feel very limited when using ELB.

That's awesome!

Yes but a reload can still cut a KEEP ALIVE established connection (observed in older HAProxy 1.6). Probably solved in more recent versions though.

This may be resolved in newer versions but definitely bit me before in older ones. I just have a script that drains off the backends we need before putting them in maintenance mode. Makes working on individual hosts much easier.

also, old haproxy process (with opened connections) still does checks which might be undesirable at scale.

as such we try to avoid reloading haproxy as much as possible. you can even renew a cert on-the-fly uploading the new cert via the admin socket.

thx mate! just added the correct link as a new submission, too.

I did (I am the owner of the blog). The blog article is on www.claudiokuenzler.com - not on this kakoku URL. I have no idea why Hacker News would change the link to another domain. Maybe someone knows this?

email dang (hn@ycombinator.com). He and his team will be able to fix this in no time.

Thanks for the hint! It may have been my error as well as I just discovered that copy cat URL before and blocked it. May have posted the copy-cat URL myself, who knows. Anyway I just posted a new submission with the correct link.

Changed now from https://gby.kakoku.online/blog/1240/haproxy-how-to-disable-e.... Thanks to both of you!

Our software does change links sometimes (it follows redirects and also uses the canonical URL when it finds one), but from the logs it doesn't look like any of that happened here.

thx, appreciate it! still need to figure out what this okaku domain does though...

Not a direct OVH customer, but it's a common issue with the big cloud/datacenter providers that their response is very slow. Consider smaller less known providers. They often have similar setups (but on a smaller scale) but are more responsive.
