ingress-nginx is an upstream kubernetes project designed to be the 'default' ingress controller. That is quite literally the reason it's bundled. A better question is - why is Traefik better? What features does it have that nginx doesn't and Is it worth switching out the ingress for? You totally can swap out the default ingress if you want... but we only support our packaged ingress with our rke distros. So in a way you'd lose support on the ingress too. You should have a pretty sold reason if you want to change out the ingress IMO.

Cool, I thought as much. Thanks for the reply.
