aid: traefik:traefik-proxy
name: Traefik Proxy
description: Traefik Proxy is the flagship open-source (MIT) cloud-native reverse proxy, ingress controller,
  and load balancer. It auto-discovers services from Kubernetes (Ingress, Gateway API, CRD), Docker, Docker
  Swarm, Nomad, Amazon ECS, Consul, file, and HTTP providers, and ships with native ACME (Let's Encrypt)
  certificate provisioning, HTTP/2, HTTP/3, gRPC, WebSockets, TCP, UDP, an extensible middleware chain,
  and a built-in dashboard.
