Nick Volynkin bb907e5e7d [applications] Reorder values.yaml for better readability
Use the same order for values in all applications:

1. Common configuration parameters in the specified order, if exist:
   - replicas
   - shards
   - resources
   - resourcesPreset
   - size
   - storageClass
   - external (goes last, because we don't want to promote this practice)

2. Application-specific parameters, such as database and users
3. Component-specific, each component under its own section
4. Backup
5. Bootstrap (recovery)

# Managed Nginx-based HTTP Cache Service
The Nginx-based HTTP caching service is designed to optimize web traffic and enhance web application performance.
This service combines custom-built Nginx instances with HAProxy for efficient caching and load balancing.
## Deployment information
The Nginx instances include the following modules and features:
- VTS module for statistics
- Integration with ip2location
- Integration with ip2proxy
- Support for 51Degrees
- Cache purge functionality
HAproxy plays a vital role in this setup by directing incoming traffic to specific Nginx instances based on a consistent hash calculated from the URL. Each Nginx instance includes a Persistent Volume Claim (PVC) for storing cached content, ensuring fast and reliable access to frequently used resources.
## Deployment Details
The deployment architecture is illustrated in the diagram below:
```

## Known issues
- VTS module shows wrong upstream response time, [github.com/vozlt/nginx-module-vts#198](https://github.com/vozlt/nginx-module-vts/issues/198)
## Parameters
### Common parameters
| Name | Description | Value |
| -------------- | ----------------------------------------------- | ------- |
| `size` | Persistent Volume size | `10Gi` |
| `storageClass` | StorageClass used to store the data | `""` |
| `external` | Enable external access from outside the cluster | `false` |
### Application-specific parameters
| Name | Description | Value |
| ----------- | ----------------------- | ----- |
| `endpoints` | Endpoints configuration | `[]` |
### HAProxy parameters
| Name | Description | Value |
| ------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ------ |
| `haproxy.replicas` | Number of HAProxy replicas | `2` |
| `haproxy.resources` | Explicit CPU and memory configuration for each HAProxy replica. When left empty, the preset defined in `resourcesPreset` is applied. | `{}` |
| `haproxy.resourcesPreset` | Default sizing preset used when `resources` is omitted. Allowed values: nano, micro, small, medium, large, xlarge, 2xlarge. | `nano` |
### Nginx parameters
| Name | Description | Value |
| ----------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------ |
| `nginx.replicas` | Number of Nginx replicas | `2` |
| `nginx.resources` | Explicit CPU and memory configuration for each nginx replica. When left empty, the preset defined in `resourcesPreset` is applied. | `{}` |
| `nginx.resourcesPreset` | Default sizing preset used when `resources` is omitted. Allowed values: nano, micro, small, medium, large, xlarge, 2xlarge. | `nano` |
## Parameter examples and reference
### resources and resourcesPreset
`resources` sets explicit CPU and memory configurations for each replica.
When left empty, the preset defined in `resourcesPreset` is applied.
```yaml
resources:
cpu: 4000m
memory: 4Gi
```
`resourcesPreset` sets named CPU and memory configurations for each replica.
This setting is ignored if the corresponding `resources` value is set.
| Preset name | CPU | memory |
|-------------|--------|---------|
| `nano` | `250m` | `128Mi` |
| `micro` | `500m` | `256Mi` |
| `small` | `1` | `512Mi` |
| `medium` | `1` | `1Gi` |
| `large` | `2` | `2Gi` |
| `xlarge` | `4` | `4Gi` |
| `2xlarge` | `8` | `8Gi` |
### endpoints
`endpoints` is a flat list of IP addresses:
```yaml
endpoints:
- 10.100.3.1:80
- 10.100.3.11:80
- 10.100.3.2:80
- 10.100.3.12:80
- 10.100.3.3:80
- 10.100.3.13:80
```
