Strimzi
Strimzi is an open-source Kubernetes operator and set of resources for deploying and managing Apache Kafka clusters and related components.
Quarkus in Action
Strimzi is an operator and set of Kubernetes resources for running and managing Apache Kafka clusters.
- How it is used
- Deploys Kafka as independently managed infrastructure for a local production-style microservice environment.
- How deep it goes
- Shows container selection, startup commands, companion ZooKeeper deployment, and bootstrap configuration, without detailing operator resources.
- Examples
- Uses Kafka and ZooKeeper containers, Docker Compose commands, and a production Kafka bootstrap-server property.
- What you can do after
- Operate a Kafka-backed infrastructure stack with Docker Compose and configure Quarkus services to locate Kafka.
Apache Kafka in Action
The Strimzi Cluster Operator is a Kubernetes controller that deploys and manages Kafka clusters and their associated components.
- How it is used
- Deploys and operates self-managed Kafka within an existing Kubernetes environment.
- How deep it goes
- Explains the operator architecture and managed resources, but stops short of deployment commands or configuration manifests.
- Examples
- Uses Kubernetes deployments, operator-managed brokers, topics, users, secrets, TLS keys, and a Strimzi architecture diagram.
- What you can do after
- Operate/configure self-managed Kafka and its associated resources through Kubernetes operators.
