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

Connectors & Integrations
1

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. solacedemo-kafkasummitapac2021/my-solace-kafka-connectors at main · arih1299/solacedemo-kafkasummitapac2021 · GitHub

Let us know how you end up doing it too :slight_smile:

Hello, as promised here is how i ended up doing it myself → GitHub - rodrigocfelix/SolaceKafkaConnectors: Basically an instantiation of Solace-Kafka connectors but ready for deployment in Kubernetes

I made another post here in the community announcing it → Solace-Kafka connectors ready for deployment in a distributed Kubernetes environment — Solace Community

Thanks for all the help :smiley:
