Installation guide

kafkaconnect is meant to be run on Kubernetes and it assumes that Kafka is running in the same kubernetes cluster.

This section shows how to use the kafka-connect-manager Helm chart.

Helm chart

The kafka-connect-manager Helm chart creates a configmap with the configuration used by kafkaconnect to create the connector. Secrets are obtained from a Kubernetes secret configured in the values.yaml file, and then injected in the environment. Kafkaconnect uses the environment variables to inject the secrets in the connector configuration before uploading it.

Argo CD

An example of Argo CD app using the Helm chart can be found here.
