Traefik and existing AWS Classic Load Balancer

Question

I have a working k8s cluster on EC2 with a classic load balancer (Port 443). Now I am trying to set up Traefik in my cluster, for which I am using the official helm chart. But I can't find a way to use my existing load balancer and prevent Traefik from creating its own load balancer.

How can I get Traefik to use the existing load balancer?

Answer 1

Maybe you can change the service type to NodePort instead of the Loadbalancer

expose nodeport on trefik service accordingly

ports:
    - name: http
      port: 80
      protocol: TCP
      targetPort: http
      nodePort: 30080
    - name: https
      port: 443
      protocol: TCP
      targetPort: https
      nodePort: 30081
