    description: >-
      The HAProxy Data Plane API is a REST API for managing HAProxy
      configuration dynamically. It allows runtime configuration of
      frontends, backends, servers, ACLs, and other HAProxy objects
      without requiring configuration file changes or restarts.

    description: >-
      The HAProxy Runtime API (formerly known as the stats socket) is a
      socket-based interface for dynamically managing HAProxy at runtime. It
      allows operators to enable or disable servers, adjust weights, inspect
      stick tables, view statistics, and perform other live configuration
      changes without reloading the process.

    description: >-
      The HAProxy Kubernetes Ingress Controller implements routing rules defined
      in Kubernetes Ingress resources, dynamically updating HAProxy configuration
      as pods are added or removed from the cluster. It supports the Gateway API,
      custom resources, and certificate management via the HAProxy Runtime API.
