## HAProxy on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS by cloudimg
HAProxy 3.0 LTS is the world's fastest and most widely used open-source software load balancer and reverse proxy, powering high-traffic sites with TCP and HTTP load balancing, health checking and observability. This cloudimg image runs HAProxy as the packaged haproxy.service, binds the public frontend on port 80, and ships a self-contained demo backend so the load balancer and the built-in Statistics Report are live the moment the VM boots. Backed by 24/7 expert support.
What is Included
* HAProxy 3.0 LTS bound to :80 as the public frontend (HAProxy is the listener - no nginx)

* An unauthenticated /health endpoint returning 200 ok for load balancers and probes
* A self-contained demo backend (be_demo) of two loopback responders so the LB and stats show live traffic with no external dependency
