Arnall,
This advice is less of an haproxy specific response, and more of
general information.
As someone who's tried to manage mixed infrastructure, I would push
back if possible, unles syour organization has decided to move to
freebsd entirely.
Very few do that.
FreeBSD fulfills its purposes, though.
Even if you try to standardize on one „flavor“ of Linux, you will still end up
with other flavors - simply because not everything runs on your particular
flavor.
And you’re not going to run all of your applications on all of your platforms
anyway. So the QA-effort should be manageable.
But that doesn’t mean it’s wise to introduce a half dozen different platforms,
either - unless you have enough people to handle all of it.
How many systems (with Debian) are we talking about anyway?
And how many HA-Proxies are supposed to be migrated?
What are the sysadmin’s technical points for moving?
Besides probably not wanting to deal with Debian’s head-ache-inducing idea of
an OS - that’s a given ;-)
Unless OP is doing some *really fancy stuff*, there’s IMO no pure technical
show-stopper for a switch.
Dont know about the last comment. I have standardised on Centos. We run
everything on centos as it makes our whole environment a lot more
manageable. We manage around 400 centos servers with no other linux in
the mix, and we have yet to find something that will not run on centos.
If a rpm package does not exist, we create it. As for just switching
because someone had an idea, well, if it aint broke dont fix it. IMHO
