traefik load balancing in kubernetes as ingress provider

6/29/2021

Can traefik act both as ingress and load balancer while performing active heal checks on the service especially defined as ExternalName ?

All examples point to traffic splitting but nothing about load balancing.

Scenario:-

Have Ingress decide where to direct the traffic which it already does but when delivering to the Backend services (defined as ExternalName) also perform active health check, load balance with wrr etc algorithms?

How would I go about doing this in like say local minikube environment ?
