How to use Solace-Kafka-Connectors in a Kubernetes distributed environment

rodrigofelix

Hi,
I'm trying to connect my solace broker, running in a kubernetes cluster on a cloud provider, with my kafka pods also running in kubernetes on another cloud provider.
In order to do so (using the solace-kafka-connectors) do i need to create my own kafka image with the connectors already inside and configured? or is there any other way that i didn't think of.
Thanks!

Yeah that's what I would do myself. Just keeping each containers responsible for a service is easier to maintain.

I'm sure you'd know exactly what to do, but here's one sample I used just few days ago. https://github.com/arih1299/solacedemo-kafkasummitapac2021/tree/main/my-solace-kafka-connectors

Let us know how you end up doing it too
