:::caution
The `nginx-proxy` container is an RKE1-specific component. If you are using RKE2 or K3s, this container is not deployed, as load balancing to the API servers is handled internally by a client-side load balancer within the agent process itself.
Additionally, please note that RKE1 has reached its [End of Life (EOL)](https://support.scc.suse.com/s/kb/RKE-EOL-what-when-why?language=en_US). Therefore, the information on this page is considered deprecated.

The `nginx-proxy` container is deployed on every node that does not have the `controlplane` role. It provides access to all the nodes with the `controlplane` role by dynamically generating the NGINX configuration based on available nodes with the `controlplane` role.
