HAProxy 1.6 Has Released

Aww, yes. I recall the first issue was due to a driver update pulled from Windows Update. it just broke everything
I don't recall the reasons for the other calls.
It's possible that consultants could have made suggestions to prevent the issue from happening again, just don't know.

Like WSUS to just do Security and feature updates not drivers.

OH HELL YEAH, now... ever since then I rarely allow Windows Update based drivers to be installed, if ever.

Right, so you were paying them to fix their own stuff that THEY broke! Considering you already paid them for the broken product, that means that they weren't supporting what they sold you. They charged you twice for the same thing.

Maybe yes, maybe no. It's not that calling MS isn't the right choice, it's just important to understand why it is cheap (lack of broader support, you have already paid them and they are just charging you again for something that you didn't do wrong, etc.)
-
Sure, but unlike other paid products, they don't charge me for updates, so this is trade off I'm personally OK with.

They charge the rest of us. You don't pay for new versions of Windows products?

LOL - Of course I pay for new versions, I don't pay for updates/patches/fixes, whatever you want to call the free things that you get every second tuesday of the month.
Now sure.. some vendors give away their updates/patches/fixes/whatever, but some also require maintenance agreements to get those updates (I'm looking at you Cisco, at you SonicWall).

With RH, Suse, Ubuntu, Solaris.... support isn't just patching the things that THEY messed up, but you get the full version updates too. With none of those is there a "get the OS but not the updates" option. So everyone gives patches for free. Only MS charges for support AND for updates beyond patches.

Right, but not OS vendors. Not ones that Microsoft is competing with.

HAProxy is very cool. It is used nearly everywhere that I look with cloud hosted applications.
