Description

Varnish-Cache maintainer and author of the shard director here.

I strongly recommend not to recommend the hash director:

https://github.com/mittwald/kube-httpcache/blob/f978b95a0c2ec72de24fc89f7f3e12fb5d0398fb/chart/values.yaml#L287

I recommend to use vmod_cluster, or at least the shard director with a bit of VCL (which you can also find in vmod_cluster)

  4. Open a pull request that references the issue number.

Research direction

Start with chart/values.yaml around line 287 and review the linked vmod_cluster documentation and VCL guidance. Determine how the chart currently recommends the hash director and update that recommendation to reflect the maintainer's guidance. Done means the chart no longer recommends the hash director and its alternative is documented clearly.
