Application Scenario

This service is used to host web frontend components of service code and static pages. Create an image for service code and deploy it to CAE, and store the static files in the parallel file system associated with a component. In this way, you can host the frontend components of services and static files. After components are deployed, you can update static page files in the parallel file system to update frontend applications in real time.

This solution uses Nginx alpine-perl, which has been provided in the open-source image.

Architecture

Nginx is a lightweight web server and an HTTP server for static resources. This practice uses Nginx to describe how to configure a parallel file system in the cloud storage to host static files and update these static files to update the Nginx access page in real time.

To replace the page display, place the HTML file to be replaced in the /usr/share/nginx/html directory. The HTML file can be downloaded from Obtaining a Static File.
