Traefik as Kubernetes Ingress

Abstract

In this final chapter, you try out Traefik's native integration with the Kubernetes container orchestration platform. Kubernetes is undoubtedly the most popular container microservices platform. Traefik integrates tightly with Kubernetes and can act as a first-class citizen in the Kubernetes ecosystem. You already tried out Traefik's many gateway capabilities. This chapter explores how easily these capabilities map to Kubernetes ingress concepts. You also see Traefik's simple integration with Jaeger, a Kubernetes-specific distributed tracing solution.
