Traefik Ingress Route Rate Limit Policy Violations

Overview

Traefik Ingress Route Rate Limit Policy Violations occur when there are breaches of the rate limit policies set in Traefik-managed routes. Traefik is a popular open-source reverse proxy and load balancer software that is used in Kubernetes environments to provide routing and load balancing capabilities. When a rate limit policy is violated, it means that the allowed rate of requests has been exceeded, which can cause service degradation or outage. This incident type usually requires investigation and remediation to ensure that the rate limit policies are properly configured and enforced.
