-External Restart Hooks
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-When the role performs a restart of the service, it will notify an Ansible
-handler named ``Manage LB``, which is a noop within this role. In the
-playbook, other roles may be loaded before and after this role which will
-implement Ansible handler listeners for ``Manage LB``, allowing external roles
-to manage the load balancer endpoints responsible for sending traffic to the
-servers being restarted by marking them in maintenance or active mode,
-draining sessions, etc. For an example implementation, please reference the
-`ansible-haproxy-endpoints role <https://github.com/Logan2211/ansible-haproxy-endpoints>`_
-used by the openstack-ansible project.
