# Migration Guide: From v1 to v2

How to Migrate from Traefik v1 to Traefik v2.
{: .subtitle }

The version 2 of Traefik introduces a number of breaking changes, 
which require one to update their configuration when they migrate from v1 to v2.
The goal of this page is to recapitulate all of these changes, and in particular to give examples, 
feature by feature, of how the configuration looked like in v1, and how it now looks like in v2.

!!! Note "Migration Helper"
    
    We created a tool to help during the migration: [traefik-migration-tool](https://github.com/containous/traefik-migration-tool)

    This tool allows to:

    - convert `Ingress` to Traefik `IngressRoute` resources.
    - convert `acme.json` file from v1 to v2 format.

## Frontends and Backends Are Dead... <br/>... Long Live Routers, Middlewares, and Services

During the transition from v1 to v2, a number of internal pieces and components of Traefik were rewritten and reorganized.
As such, the combination of core notions such as frontends and backends has been replaced with the combination of routers, services, and middlewares.

Typically, a router replaces a frontend, and a service assumes the role of a backend, with each router referring to a service.
However, even though a backend was in charge of applying any desired modification on the fly to the incoming request,
the router defers that responsibility to another component.
Instead, a dedicated middleware is now defined for each kind of such modification.
Then any router can refer to an instance of the wanted middleware.

!!! example "One frontend with basic auth and one backend, become one router, one service, and one basic auth middleware."

## TLS configuration is now dynamic, per router.

TLS parameters used to be specified in the static configuration, as an entryPoint field.
With Traefik v2, a new dynamic TLS section at the root contains all the desired TLS configurations.
Then, a router's TLS field can refer to one of the TLS configurations defined at the root, hence defining the TLS configuration for that router.

!!! example "TLS on web-secure entryPoint becomes TLS option on Router-1"
