Simple HTTPS for Kubernetes - Traefik and Cert-Manager

Learn to implement secure HTTPS connections for Kubernetes applications using Traefik as an ingress controller and Cert-Manager for automated SSL certificate management. Install and configure Traefik in a Kubernetes environment, specifically demonstrated on a Raspberry Pi cluster, to expose applications through both standard Ingress resources and Traefik's native IngressRoute custom resources. Set up the Traefik dashboard for monitoring and management, then integrate Cert-Manager to automatically provision and manage trusted TLS certificates from Let's Encrypt. Configure Issuer and ClusterIssuer resources to handle certificate requests, create and manage certificates, and secure your IngressRoutes with TLS encryption. Deploy applications using Helm charts while maintaining secure HTTPS connections, providing a complete solution for protecting services running on Kubernetes with industry-standard SSL/TLS certificates.
