Clear Linux* OS haproxy container image

What is this image?

clearlinux/haproxy is a Docker image with haproxy running on top of the official clearlinux base image.

Haproxy is a free, very fast and reliable solution offering high availability, load balancing, and proxying for TCP and HTTP-based applications.

For other Clear Linux* OS based container images, see: https://hub.docker.com/u/clearlinux

Why use a clearlinux based image?

Clear Linux* OS is an open source, rolling release Linux distribution optimized for performance and security, from the Cloud to the Edge, designed for customization, and manageability.

Clear Linux* OS based container images use:

• Optimized libraries that are compiled with latest compiler versions and flags.
• Software packages that follow upstream source closely and update frequently.
• An aggressive security model and best practices for CVE patching.
• A multi-staged build approach to keep a reduced container image size.
• The same container syntax as the official images to make getting started easy.
