Join us for an exciting Online Meetup to learn about the new features added to Traefik Proxy 2.5, the latest release of our open source, cloud-native edge router, and application proxy. We are delighted to show you these “ready to use” community-requested features and help you gain the most value from them.

During this session, we’ll discuss and demonstrate:

- Connecting Consul Connect Networks directly with Traefik

- Added support for HTTP/3

- Advanced load balancing for nested structures

- Traefik 2.5 support for the new Kubernetes 1.22. Kubernetes 1.22 has significant API changes, with many deprecated API versions including Ingress.

- Running local Plugins. Previously, plugins were served only by Traefik Pilot. Now it's possible to just run local plugins with Traefik Proxy.

- Loading Provider Plugins. Providers are a key component of Traefik. Now, Traefik 2.5 makes it possible to load your own providers as plugins!

- TCP Middlewares. Middlewares are essential if you want to edit requests or responses. Traefik 2.5 adds support for Middlewares on TCP Routers.
