Following the tutorial for Kubernetes (in my case on GKE) https://docs.traefik.io/v2.0/user-guides/crd-acme/ I am stuck on how to assign the global static IP (GKE wants a forwarding rule). Am I missing something (e.g. adding another ingress)? I understand that annotations are not possible in the IngressRoute. So how would I assign the global reserved IP?
The answer to question 3 on this Q&A online meetup (https://gist.github.com/dduportal/13874113cf5fa1d0901655e3367c31e5) mentions that "classic ingress" is also possible with version 2.x. Does this mean I can set up traefik as in 1.x (like this: https://docs.traefik.io/user-guide/kubernetes/) use 2.x configuration and no need for CRD?
You do it like with every other Ingress Controller.
A good step-by-step instructions on how to assign a Static IP address to an Ingress are given on nginx-ingress`s website.
Follow the section called 'Promote ephemeral to static IP'
If to follow Traefik 2.0's exemplary manifests files made for Kubernetes, once you patch your Traefik's K8S Service (with kubectl patch traefik...), you can verify if IngressRoute's took effect with following command:
curl -i http://<static-ip-address>:8000/notls -H 'Host: your.domain.com'Update
