Charmed Apache Kafka K8s

This is an open-source software operator (charm) that simplifies the deployment and management of Apache Kafka on Kubernetes environments in a platform-agnostic way. Whether you’re on public cloud (AKS, EKS) or private infrastructure (Canonical Kubernetes, microK8s), this charm provides a consistent and reliable way to deploy and run an Apache Kafka cluster.

This is a K8s operator. To deploy on traditional machine environments (IAAS/VM), see Charmed Apache Kafka operator.

Apache Kafka is a free, open-source software project by the Apache Software Foundation.

The charm helps ops teams and administrators automate Apache Kafka operations from Day 0 to Day 2 with additional capabilities, such as: replication, TLS encryption, password rotation, easy-to-use application integration, and monitoring.

Getting started

juju deploy zookeeper --trust -n 5
juju integrate kafka-k8s zookeeper-k8s
