This role installs the most recent version of keepalived (currently 2.0.20) on CentOS systems, along with the evrardjp.keepalived role in order to configure it.

It also includes bash shell scripts for logging notification events (master/backup/slave/stop).

Requirements

None. This role manages and installs all required dependencies.
