Sample pillar with port range and port offset

This is usefull in listen blocks for definition of multiple servers
that differs only by port number in port range block. This situation
can be result of multiple single-thread servers deployed in multi-core
environment to better utilize the available cores.

For example, five contrail-api workers occupy ports ``9100-9104``.
This can be achieved by using ``port_range_length`` in the pillar,
``port_range_length: 5`` in this case.
For skipping first worker (``worker_id 0``), because it has other
responsibilities and to avoid overloading it by http requests
use the ``port_range_start_offset`` in the pillar,
``port_range_start_offset: 1`` in this case, it will only use ports
9101-9104 (skipping 9100).

- ``port_range_length`` parameter is used to calculate port range end
- ``port_range_start_offset`` will skip first n ports in port range

For backward compatibility, the name of the first server in port range
has no ``pN`` suffix.

The following sample will result in

.. code-block:: text

    listen contrail_api
      bind 172.16.10.252:8082
      option nolinger
      balance leastconn

      server ntw01p4 172.16.10.95:9104 check inter 2000 rise 2 fall 3
      server ntw02 172.16.10.96:9100 check inter 2000 rise 2 fall 3
      server ntw02p1 172.16.10.96:9101 check inter 2000 rise 2 fall 3

Custom more complex listener (for Artifactory and subdomains for docker
registries)

.. code-block:: yaml

    haproxy:
      proxy:
        listen:
          artifactory:
            mode: http
            options:
              - forwardfor
              - forwardfor header X-Real-IP
              - httpchk
              - httpclose
              - httplog
            sticks:
              - stick on src
              - stick-table type ip size 200k expire 2m
            acl:
              is_docker: "path_reg ^/v[12][/.]*"
            http_request:
              - action: "set-path /artifactory/api/docker/%[req.hdr(host),lower,field(1,'.')]%[path]"
                condition: "if is_docker"
            balance: source
            binds:
              - address: ${_param:cluster_vip_address}
                port: 8082
                ssl:
                  enabled: true
                  # This PEM file needs to contain key, cert, CA and possibly
                  # intermediate certificates
                  pem_file: /etc/haproxy/ssl/server.pem
            servers:
              - name: ${_param:cluster_node01_name}
                host: ${_param:cluster_node01_address}
                port: 8082
                params: check
              - name: ${_param:cluster_node02_name}
                host: ${_param:cluster_node02_address}
                port: 8082
                params: backup check

It's also possible to use multiple certificates for one listener (eg. when
it's bind on multiple interfaces):

.. code-block:: yaml

    haproxy:
      proxy:
        listen:
          dummy_site:
            mode: http
            binds:
              - address: 127.0.0.1
                port: 8080
                ssl:
                  enabled: true
                  key: |
                    my super secret key follows
                  cert: |
                    certificate
                  chain: |
                    CA chain (if any)
              - address: 127.0.1.1
                port: 8081
                ssl:
                  enabled: true
                  key: |
                    my super secret key follows
                  cert: |
                    certificate
                  chain: |
                    CA chain (if any)

Definition above will result in creation of ``/etc/haproxy/ssl/dummy_site``
directory with files ``1-all.pem`` and ``2-all.pem`` (per binds).

Custom listener with tcp-check options specified (for Redis cluster with Sentinel)

.. code-block:: yaml

  haproxy:
    proxy:
      listen:
        redis_cluster:
          service_name: redis
          health-check:
            tcp:

                - send QUIT\r\n
                - expect string +OK
          binds:
            - address: ${_param:cluster_address}
              port: 6379
          servers:
            - name: ${_param:cluster_node01_name}
              host: ${_param:cluster_node01_address}
              port: 6379
              params: check inter 1s
            - name: ${_param:cluster_node02_name}
              host: ${_param:cluster_node02_address}
              port: 6379
              params: check inter 1s
            - name: ${_param:cluster_node03_name}
              host: ${_param:cluster_node03_address}
              port: 6379
              params: check inter 1s

Frontend for routing between exists listeners via URL with SSL an redirects.
You can use one backend for several URLs.

.. code-block:: yaml

  haproxy:
    proxy:
      listen:
        service_proxy:
          mode: http

          format: end
          binds:
           - address: ${_param:haproxy_bind_address}
             port: 80
             ssl: ${_param:haproxy_frontend_ssl}
             ssl_port: 443
          redirects:
           - code: 301
             location: domain.com/images
             conditions:
               - type: hdr_dom(host)
                 condition: images.domain.com
          acls:

             conditions:
               - type: hdr_dom(host)
                 condition: gerrit.domain.com
           - name: jenkins
             conditions:

                 condition: jenkins.domain.com

             conditions:

Sample pillar with multiprocess multicore configuration

.. code-block:: yaml

  haproxy:
    proxy:
      enabled: True
      nbproc: 4

        1: 0

Implement rate limiting, to prevent excessive requests
This feature only works if using 'format: end'

.. code-block:: yaml

  haproxy:
    proxy:
      ...
      listen:
        nova_metadata_api:
          ...
          format: end
          options:
          - httpchk
          - httpclose
          - httplog
          rate_limit:
            duration: 900s
            enabled: true
            requests: 125
            track: content
          servers:
            ...
          type: http
