I'm running my workloads on AWS EKS service in the cloud. I can see that there is not default Ingress Controller available (as it is available for GKE) we have to pick a 3rd party-one.
I decided to go with Traefik. After following documentations and other resources (like this), I feel that using Traefik as the Ingress Controller does not create a LoadBalancer in the cloud automatically. We have to go through it manually to setup everything.
How to use Traefik to work as the Kubernetes Ingress the same way other Ingress Controllers work (i.e. Nginx etc) that create a LoadBalancer, register services etc? Any working example would be appreciated.
Have you tried with annotations like in this example?
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
name: traefik-proxy
annotations:
service.beta.kubernetes.io/aws-load-balancer-ssl-cert: "arn:aws:acm:REGION:ACCOUNTID:certificate/CERT-ID"
service.beta.kubernetes.io/aws-load-balancer-backend-protocol: "http"
spec:
type: LoadBalancer
selector:
app: traefik-proxy
tier: proxy
ports:
- port: 443
targetPort: 80
