Web / Traefik Interview questions
What are providers in Traefik?
Providers are the sources Traefik watches to build its routing configuration, connecting it to whatever infrastructure a team is already running.
Common providers include the Docker provider, which reads container labels; the Kubernetes provider, which reads Ingress objects or the IngressRoute CRD; the File provider, which reads static YAML or TOML files; and providers for Consul, etcd, and Marathon.
Multiple providers can run at the same time, and Traefik merges the routing configuration they produce into a single dynamic configuration, applying it live without a restart.
