Ingress-Nginx: The Day After
summary
Ingress-NGINX is end-of-life and Traefik claims a practical migration path: an audit binary scans clusters and reports which of your Ingress-NGINX annotations are supported, Traefik v3.7 implements 85 annotations supported (covering ~97% of real cases from 300 reports), a provider lets Traefik act as a man-in-the-middle and perform zero-downtime per-ingress migration namespace by namespace, and a separate converter (LLM-grounded) maps many Ingress annotations to Gateway API resources (tool covers 66+ annotations for ingress→gateway); demo shows live traffic switched with no interruption.
