traefik-kubernetes-aws-alb

#traefik-kubernetes-aws-alb This is a quick update. In post https://blog.ls-al.com/traefik-in-kubernetes-using-terraform-helm-and-aws-alb/ I had a TODO to work on the AWS ALB health check. This is a fix for that.

NOTE: compared to my previous values file:

1. added —ping and —ping.entrypount=web
2. added ports traefik healthchecksport
3. added websecure false but not related to health check just something I did not need exposed with ssl offloading on LB

helm values ping entrypoint

additionalArguments:
- --providers.kubernetescrd.ingressclass=traefik-pub3
- --ping
- --ping.entrypoint=web
