You can do it with an ingress and have it connect to your ALB. Traefik is the default replacement in RKE2 moving forward. https://www.suse.com/c/trade-the-ingress-nginx-retirement-for-up-to-2-years-of-rke2-support-stability/

@mysterious-animal-29850 many thanks for sharing this! have been looking for something like this for some time 🙂 I do prefer the option with ALB, if that's possible as we would have less things to manage and maintain - is there any blog or information or steps that I need to follow to have Rancher's service exposed directly via an ALB (via the aws-load-balancer-controller) please?

On the rancher side you would only need to set some helm keys to configure Rancher to use the ALB with an Ingress. A quick google search found this gist that should cover it. https://gist.github.com/dkeightley/1b1214c965be20d21c0840cb4e96b1a5 I would also check the traefik nginx compatibility doc when make that transition. https://doc.traefik.io/traefik/reference/routing-configuration/kubernetes/ingress-nginx/
