Running Apache Kafka on Kubernetes and OpenShift

on YouTube ↗50m

" summary

Deploys Apache Kafka on Kubernetes/OpenShift using the open source Strimzi operator with CRDs (example: KafkaTopic CRD and KafkaUser), demo runs on OpenShift 3.9 with kubernetes 1.9+ baseline. Operator installs Zookeeper (3 pods), then Kafka, manages rolling updates, TLS certificates (generated into secrets) and topic/user lifecycle with bi-directional sync. Supports Kafka Connect and MirrorMaker, Helm for operator install, Java-based operator, semi-automated version upgrades, and external access via load balancer, nodePort or OpenShift routes.
