AP-ALB v0.8.5-alpha is a pre-release with very significant code refactoring from the v0.7.4-beta released 22 days/103 commits ago.

Major features

  • Initial official support for clustering related options (see #17)
  • Initial official cross-platform support (see #34)

Minor features

Several small new features. but for lack of time will not mentioned on this changelog.

About the significant code refactoring

While this release, v0.8.5-alpha, have more than double o commits from v0.7.4-beta than the full history of this repository, most of the changes are motivated by the 2 major features.

Consul as alternative to file storage

Check MVP of Consul in High Availability (HA) for AP-ALB #30 and it's related issues.

But in addition to AP-ALB Ansible Role, the Consul storage driver for the underline tool that we use for obtain the Let's Encrypt certificates had to be done. The alternative that worked out-of-the box would be use Redis, but while Redis would work for this feature, one storage like Etcd or Consul would be more expected from a load balancer.

Variables related to OS

The way versions before AP-ALB v0.8.x where implemented would require require too much work to scale with cross-platform support. With this release, most variables that depends of the OS are now on vars/os-family, with a structure like this
