⁠Keepalived-Float

Keepalived-Float is the "float" (a.k.a. keepalived itself and the floating IP) in the Docker-Keepalived⁠ setup.

The float container is where Keepalived is actually running. It is created by the anchor containers running on each manager node, and it monitors the anchor process in order to decide current host status (this is vrrp_script in keepalived).

NOTE: DO NOT DEPLOY! The float is deployed by the anchor (see Keepalived-Anchor). The float requires elevated permissions in order to perform keepalived functions (i.e. NET_ADMIN). These permissions are unavailable in Swarm mode deployment.
