Pros and cons of using Traefik as ingress on Kubernetes as Deployment?

Answer 1

You can use Traefik either as a deployment or as a DaemonSet. Both has its own pros and cons. Lets have a look at the pros and cons of using it as a Deployment.

• Scalability is much better with deployment
• Deployment pods are only scheduled on new nodes, they are not automatically scaled
• It's pretty complicated to configure things using deployment such that no two pods run on the same node
