Basic Examples Using Strimzi Kafka

Requirements

K8s cluster with LoadBalancer. I assume Kind + MetalLB. If you use something else you may need to adjust IPs in the example configs.

One can use this Ansible playbook for quick setup.

Install Kafka

make install-strimzi create-cluster

Get required certificates and password

make get-broker-ca get-client-ca get-sasl-password

Trying different configuration

See example configurations under kafctl/examples/configs folder. Choose one you want to try using -c flag, e.g.

$ kafctl get messages -c configs/plaintext.properties my-topic
