    Zabbix native HA with HA Web Service load-balancing

    Good Morning,
    we plan to setup a monitoring solution for our customers with Zabbix. In this case HA is indispensable. So far, Zabbix native HA is clear to me. As database we like to use postgres SQL in HA mode, to avoid a single point of failure.After googling for several hour’s I can’t find something about the frontend HA. In all example cases the frontend is only installed on a single node.Now my question, is there any way to deploy the frontend in ha mode? Is it possible to deploy the frontend on multiple servers, connect them to the same database an load-balance with HAProxy or NGINX? Needs the frontend only a connection to the database and the active Zabbix Server node or needs it a common datastore like nfs volume or a synced folder for templates?Has someone of you already a working construct like this?

    Thank you for your answers in advance​​

    frontend needs connection to DB. Does not need common datastore.

    We have HA frontend with 2 apache servers, where keepalived keeps VIP at one host mostly and in need moves VIP to other. Similar thing can be done with nginx also.
