### Key Features
|
||||
|
||||
#### **Host Network Mode**
|
||||
#### **Kubernetes Deployment with hostNetwork**
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
spec:
|
||||
hostNetwork: true # Direct access to host's Mycelium IPv6 interface
|
||||
template:
|
||||
spec:
|
||||
hostNetwork: true # Direct IPv6 interface binding
|
||||
containers:
|
||||
- name: nginx
|
||||
image: nginx:alpine
|
||||
ports:
|
||||
- containerPort: 80 # Standard web port
|
||||
hostPort: 80 # Direct host binding
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### **LoadBalancer with IPv6 External IPs**
|
||||
#### **Dynamic IPv6 Discovery**
|
||||
The `update-content.sh` script automatically discovers Mycelium IPv6 addresses from your cluster:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Run the script to update content with current IPv6 addresses
|
||||
./update-content.sh
|
||||
|
||||
# The script will:
|
||||
# 1. Query kubectl for cluster node IPv6 addresses
|
||||
# 2. Generate HTML with dynamic address discovery
|
||||
# 3. Update the ConfigMap automatically
|
||||
# 4. Show website content with current cluster state
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### **Custom Website Content**
|
||||
The deployment includes a professional website with:
|
||||
- Modern HTML design with Mycelium Cloud branding
|
||||
- Responsive layout with gradient backgrounds
|
||||
- Interactive IPv6 address detection
|
||||
- Real-time timestamp updates
|
||||
- Professional web interface
|
||||
|
||||
#### **Content Management**
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
spec:
|
||||
type: LoadBalancer
|
||||
externalIPs:
|
||||
- "51d:3596:6cc3:81e7:ff0f:d546:3737:4c8c" # All 6 cluster IPv6 addresses
|
||||
# ... complete list of IPv6 addresses
|
||||
ports:
|
||||
- port: 80
|
||||
targetPort: 80
|
||||
volumes:
|
||||
- name: html-content
|
||||
configMap:
|
||||
name: mycelium-website-content # Custom website content
|
||||
- name: nginx-config
|
||||
configMap:
|
||||
name: mycelium-nginx-config # nginx configuration
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### **Multi-Node Scaling**
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
spec:
|
||||
replicas: 3 # Distribute across different cluster nodes
|
||||
nodeSelector: {} # Allow any node for load balancing
|
||||
```
|
||||
## 🌟 Direct IPv6 Access Benefits
|
||||
|
||||
## 📊 Load Balancing Benefits
|
||||
|
||||
### **Traffic Distribution**
|
||||
- **Across Nodes**: 3 pods spread across different cluster nodes
|
||||
- **Health Monitoring**: Kubernetes automatically routes around failed pods
|
||||
- **No Single Point of Failure**: Multiple nginx instances serve traffic
|
||||
### **Direct Interface Binding**
|
||||
- **hostNetwork: true**: Pod directly binds to host network interface
|
||||
- **IPv6 Address Access**: Gets Mycelium IPv6 address from host node
|
||||
- **Simplified Architecture**: No service layer needed for IPv6 access
|
||||
- **Direct Connectivity**: External clients connect directly to pod
|
||||
|
||||
### **Performance Advantages**
|
||||
- **Reduced Latency**: Traffic routes to nearest healthy pod
|
||||
- **Higher Throughput**: Multiple nginx instances handle more concurrent requests
|
||||
- **Fault Tolerance**: Automatic failover if a pod or node fails
|
||||
- **Zero Latency**: Direct interface binding, no service proxy overhead
|
||||
- **Full IPv6 Support**: Direct access to Mycelium IPv6 addresses
|
||||
- **Simple Deployment**: Single pod with hostNetwork configuration
|
||||
- **Production Ready**: Standard nginx configuration with health endpoints
|
||||
|
||||
### **Scalability**
|
||||
### **Global Accessibility**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Scale up if you need more capacity
|
||||
kubectl scale deployment nginx-mycelium --replicas=5
|
||||
|
||||
# Scale down to save resources
|
||||
kubectl scale deployment nginx-mycelium --replicas=1
