Description of request

In #13525 we looked at how to monitor Apache LoadBalancer members. This was deemed not ideal.

Another option is to move everything to HAProxy, which we have good templates for. We should investigate how this might look - in particular I would to think about:

  • How to handle port assignments in a sane way
  • How to batch up the migrations so that we don't break everything at once

The majority of things in ApacheLB are Openshift Apps, so we would ideally like a way to have the same templated approach where we can drop in a config file or snippet via the openshift-apps roles. Needs thought.
