[Openstack-operators] Murano in Production

In Fuel we deploy haproxy to all of the nodes that are part of the
VIP/endpoint service (This is usually part of the controller role) Then the
vips (internal or public) can be active on any member of the group.
Corosync/Pacemaker is used to move the VIP address (as apposed to
keepalived) in our case both haproxy, and the vip live in a namespace and
haproxy is always running on all of these nodes bound to 0/0.

In the case of murano-rabbit we take the same approach as we do for galera,
all of the members are listed in the balancer, but with the others as
backup's this makes them inactive until the first node is down. This allow
the vip to move to any of the proxies in the cluster, and continue to
direct traffic to the same node util that rabbit instance is also
un-available
