Dynamic SSL Certificate Storage in HAProxy

When you route traffic through an HAProxy load balancer, you gain the ability to terminate SSL at the load balancer. HAProxy encrypts communication between the client and itself and then sends the decrypted messages to your backend servers, which means less CPU work on the servers because there’s no encryption work left to do. HAProxy adds extra SSL functionality too including SNI for choosing the right certificate, ALPN for negotiating the application protocol, OCSP stapling for prefetching certificate revocation statuses, and settings for disabling obsolete versions of SSL and TLS.
