+# nginx-load-balancer - Mycelium Cloud LoadBalancer Website Example
+
+Production-ready example for deploying a secure, globally accessible website on Mycelium Cloud using **LoadBalancer** services with automatic IPv6 assignment and traffic distribution.
+
+## ๐ Quick Start (One Command!)
+
+**Deploy a production-ready LoadBalancer service:**
+
+```bash
+cd myceliumcloud-examples/examples/nginx-load-balancer
+./deploy-and-test.sh
+```
+
+**What this script does:**
+1. โ
Deploy 3 nginx replicas (production-ready scaling)
+2. โ
Create LoadBalancer service with automatic IPv6
+3. โ
Configure worker node preferences
+4. โ
Update website content with service information
+5. โ
Verify load balancing functionality
+6. โ
Show you the automatic IPv6 assignment
+
+**Expected output:**
+```
+๐ Deploy and Test Complete!
+==================================
+
+๐ Access Information:
+ โข Service URL: http://[auto-assigned-ipv6]:8080
+ โข Load balancing: Active across 3 replicas
+ โข Service type: LoadBalancer with IPv6
+
+To access from a machine with Mycelium installed:
+ curl -6 "http://[ipv6]:8080/"
+```
+
+---
+
+## ๐ฏ What This Example Teaches
+
+- **LoadBalancer Services** - Production-grade service exposure
+- **Automatic IPv6 Assignment** - Mycelium assigns IPv6 to service endpoints
+- **Traffic Distribution** - Automatic load balancing across 3 replicas
+- **Worker Node Preferences** - Deploy only on worker nodes (not masters)
+- **Production Patterns** - Real-world scaling and reliability
+
+---
+
+## ๐ Architecture
+
+```
+User (with Mycelium)
+ โ
+http://[mycelium-ipv6]:8080 (LoadBalancer Service)
+ โ
+Kubernetes LoadBalancer Service (IPv4 + IPv6)
+ โ
+Traffic distributed across 3 replicas
+ โ
+Pod 1 โ Pod 2 โ Pod 3 (worker nodes)
+ โ
+nginx โ HTML (load balanced)
+```
+
+**Key Points:**
+- Service type: **LoadBalancer** (not NodePort)
+- IP families: **Dual-stack (IPv4 + IPv6)** โญ Critical
+- Pod network: **Isolated** (no hostNetwork)
+- Replicas: **3 by default** (production-ready)
+- Traffic policy: **Local** (preserves source IP)
+- IPv6: **Automatically assigned by Mycelium**
+
+---
+
+## โ๏ธ LoadBalancer vs NodePort Comparison
+
+| Feature | NodePort | LoadBalancer |
+|---------|----------|--------------|
+| **Access Method** | `http://[node-ipv6]:port` | `http://[service-ipv6]:port` |
+| **IPv6 Assignment** | Manual (node IPv6) | Automatic (service IPv6) |
+| **Load Balancing** | Manual (per node) | Automatic (per service) |
+| **Traffic Distribution** | Via multiple NodePorts | Via single LoadBalancer |
+| **Production Use** | Development/Testing | **Production Ready** |
+| **Management** | Multiple URLs to manage | Single service endpoint |
+| **Scalability** | Limited by node count | True service-level scaling |
+
+**When to use each:**
+- **NodePort**: Learning, development, testing
+- **LoadBalancer**: Production, high availability, true scaling
+
+---
+
+## ๐ง Manual Deployment (Alternative)
+
+If you want to do it step-by-step:
+
+```bash
+# 1. Deploy resources
+kubectl apply -f nginx-load-balancer-configmaps.yaml
+kubectl apply -f nginx-load-balancer-deployment.yaml
+kubectl apply -f nginx-load-balancer-service.yaml
+
+# 2. Wait for ready
+kubectl wait --for=condition=ready pod -l app=nginx-load-balancer --timeout=90s
+
+# 3. Update content
+./update-content-load-balancer.sh
+kubectl rollout restart deployment/nginx-load-balancer
+
+# 4. Check service status
+kubectl get svc nginx-load-balancer-service
+
+# 5. Test load balancing
+kubectl get pods -l app=nginx-load-balancer -o wide
+```
+
+---
+
+## ๐ Understanding LoadBalancer Behavior
+
+### **Automatic IPv6 Assignment**
+- Mycelium automatically assigns IPv6 address to the LoadBalancer service
+- No manual IPv6 discovery needed
+- Single endpoint for all traffic
+- Service handles IPv6 assignment transparently
+
+### **Load Balancing**
+- **3 replicas** distributed across worker nodes
+- Traffic automatically distributed by Kubernetes
+- Failover and redundancy built-in
+- True horizontal scaling capability
+
+### **Production Features**
+- Resource limits and requests
+- Health checks (liveness + readiness)
+- Worker node preferences
+- Clean network isolation
+
+---
+
+## ๐ Files in This Directory
+
+### Configuration
+- `nginx-load-balancer-deployment.yaml` - 3-replica deployment
+- `nginx-load-balancer-service.yaml` - LoadBalancer service (IPv4 + IPv6)
+- `nginx-load-balancer-configmaps.yaml` - HTML content + nginx config
+
+### Scripts
+- `deploy-and-test.sh` - โญ **Main script** (deploy + test + verify)
+- `update-content-load-balancer.sh` - Content updates for LoadBalancer
+- `debug-networking.sh` - Network debugging tools
+
+### Documentation
+- `nginx-load-balancer.md` - This guide
+- `PLAN.md` - Implementation details
+
+---
+
+## โ
Success Indicators
+
+**When working correctly:**
+- โ
Service type: `LoadBalancer`
+- โ
External IP: `[mycelium-ipv6]` (assigned automatically)
+- โ
IP families: `["IPv4","IPv6"]`
+- โ
Pod status: `Running` (3 replicas)
+- โ
Load balancing: Active across all replicas
+
+**Check service status:**
+```bash
+kubectl get svc nginx-load-balancer-service
+```
+
+---
+
+## ๐ Scaling and Management
+
+### **Scale Replicas**
+```bash
+# Scale to 5 replicas
+kubectl scale deployment nginx-load-balancer --replicas=5
+
+# Scale down to 2 replicas
+kubectl scale deployment nginx-load-balancer --replicas=2
+```
+
+### **Monitor Load Balancing**
+```bash
+# Check pod distribution
+kubectl get pods -l app=nginx-load-balancer -o wide
+
+# Monitor service status
+kubectl get svc nginx-load-balancer-service -w
+
+# Check load balancing behavior
+kubectl get pods -l app=nginx-load-balancer
+```
+
+### **Update Content**
+```bash
+./update-content-load-balancer.sh
+kubectl rollout restart deployment/nginx-load-balancer
+```
+
+---
+
+## ๐จ Troubleshooting
+
+**If LoadBalancer has no external IP:**
+- Wait for Mycelium to assign IPv6 (may take 1-2 minutes)
+- Check: `kubectl get svc nginx-load-balancer-service`
+- Verify: `kubectl get pods -l app=nginx-load-balancer`
+
+**If only 1 pod is running:**
+- Check pod status: `kubectl get pods -l app=nginx-load-balancer`
+- Review events: `kubectl describe deployment nginx-load-balancer`
+- Check logs: `kubectl logs -l app=nginx-load-balancer`
+
+**If load balancing doesn't work:**
+- Verify all 3 pods are running
+- Check service endpoints: `kubectl get endpoints nginx-load-balancer-service`
+- Test individual pods: `kubectl exec -it [pod-name] -- curl -s localhost:8080`
+
+---
+
+## ๐ Common Questions
+
+**Q: How is LoadBalancer different from NodePort?**
+A: LoadBalancer provides a single service endpoint with automatic IPv6 assignment, while NodePort requires accessing individual node IPv6 addresses.
+
+**Q: Why 3 replicas by default?**
+A: 3 replicas provide a good balance of resource usage and high availability for learning/demonstration purposes.
+
+**Q: How do I know if load balancing is working?**
+A: All 3 pods should respond to requests, and the service should distribute traffic between them automatically.
+
+**Q: Can I use this in production?**
+A: Yes! This follows production patterns with proper resource limits, health checks, and worker node preferences.
+
+**Q: What if I need more replicas?**
+A: Use `kubectl scale deployment nginx-load-balancer --replicas=5` or any number you need.
+
+---
+
+## ๐ Success!
+
+Once deployed, you'll have:
+- โ
**Production-ready** LoadBalancer service
+- โ
**Automatic IPv6** assignment from Mycelium
+- โ
**Load balancing** across 3 replicas
+- โ
**Global accessibility** via IPv6
+- โ
**High availability** with failover
+
+**You're ready for production LoadBalancer deployments on Mycelium Cloud!** ๐
