I would look at the "quick tour": http://augeas.net/tour.html

Augeas has a command-line (interactive) version, but also a C library
interface.  I mostly use Puppet which uses the C library of Augeas to
do things. For example, https://forge.puppet.com/arioch/keepalived

Yes.  Update the file then reload keepalived.


Augeas is a bit complex.  You might want to simply use a text template
system to generate keepalived.conf files.  It depends on how much
complexity you desire.
