The same thing that their load balancer project offers over HAProxy + Ansible - the ability to configure it via their API (or their Web UI) and have DigitalOcean own the implementation and management of everything. This includes making improvements under the hood, security updates, etc.
There's very little you can't do with enough Ansible and other utilities, but letting your cloud hosting provider handle it comes with a lot of benefits.
- kefka 9y agoIve always like Ansible/Puppet/file storage. I can quickly boot from ethernet, populate a req key from puppet from ansible, load puppet to the appropriate config needed, and off I go. No having to dork with servers one at a time. And with Ansible, if I change puppet manifests, I can reload puppet with ansible instead of waiting the default 30m.
