Traefik k3s on EC2 instance AWS

[hegdesandesh25]

I spun up a Ubuntu(20.0) EC2 instance on AWS and installed k3s from the documentation which started traefik on kube-system namespace and installed my stack on a different namespace. The Traefik service on the kube-system namespace always maps to the AWS private-Ip by default. I need to be able to access the application from outside ec2 which would mean i need it to map to external IP of the EC2 instance, i tried changing the service to LoadBalancer and setting the loadBalancerIP to externalIP but the service goes to pending state.

• How do we get the Traefik service to serve on the AWS external IP
• Possible solution is to install metallb or any other lb , but it feels like I'm missing something here.
