Web / Traefik Interview questions
What is the purpose of an entrypoint in Traefik?
An entrypoint defines the network entry point into Traefik: the port and protocol on which it listens for incoming traffic, such as port 80 for HTTP or port 443 for HTTPS.
Every entrypoint is named (commonly web for port 80 and websecure for port 443) and configured in the static configuration, since it needs to exist before Traefik can accept any connection at all.
Routers then attach to one or more entrypoints, so a single Traefik instance can expose multiple ports, for example plain HTTP on one entrypoint and TLS-terminated HTTPS on another, each governed by its own set of routers.
