Deploy KRaft broker and controller with CFK

• Set the current tutorial directory
• Deploy Confluent for Kubernetes
• Provide a Certificate Authority
• Set up cluster
  • Deploy KRaft broker and controller
  • Produce and consume from the topics
• Tear down Cluster

This playbook explains how to deploy KRaft brokers and controllers with CFK.

Before continuing with the scenario, ensure that you have set up the prerequisites.

Set the current tutorial directory

Set the tutorial directory under the directory you downloaded this Github repo:

export TUTORIAL_HOME=<Github repo directory>/security/kraft_sasl_ssl_autogenerated

Deploy Confluent for Kubernetes

This workflow scenario assumes you are using the namespace confluent.

Set up the Helm Chart:

helm repo add confluentinc https://packages.confluent.io/helm

Install Confluent For Kubernetes using Helm:

helm upgrade --install operator confluentinc/confluent-for-kubernetes -n confluent --set kRaftEnabled=true

Check that the Confluent For Kubernetes pod comes up and is running:

kubectl get pods

Provide a Certificate Authority

Confluent For Kubernetes provides auto-generated certificates for Confluent Platform components to use for TLS network encryption. You'll need to generate and provide a Certificate Authority (CA).

Generate a CA pair to use:

openssl genrsa -out $TUTORIAL_HOME/ca-key.pem 2048

openssl req -new -key $TUTORIAL_HOME/ca-key.pem -x509 \
  -days 1000 \
  -out $TUTORIAL_HOME/ca.pem \
  -subj "/C=US/ST=CA/L=MountainView/O=Confluent/OU=Operator/CN=TestCA"

Create a Kubernetes secret for the certificate authority:

kubectl create secret tls ca-pair-sslcerts \
  --cert=$TUTORIAL_HOME/ca.pem \
  --key=$TUTORIAL_HOME/ca-key.pem -n confluent

• create secret credential in operator namespace, refer to Here Following was used in this playbook

    kubectl create -n confluent secret generic credential \
    --from-file=plain.txt=$TUTORIAL_HOME/plain.txt \
    --from-file=plain-users.json=$TUTORIAL_HOME/plain-users.json \
    --from-file=basic.txt=$TUTORIAL_HOME/basic.txt

Set up cluster

Deploy KRaft broker and controller

kubectl apply -f $TUTORIAL_HOME/kraftbroker_controller.yaml

Produce and consume from the topics

kubectl -n confluent exec -it kafka-0 -- bash

seq 5 | kafka-console-producer --topic demotopic --broker-list kafka.confluent.svc.cluster.local:9092

kafka-console-consumer --from-beginning --topic demotopic --bootstrap-server  kafka.confluent.svc.cluster.local:9092

Tear down Cluster

kubectl delete -f $TUTORIAL_HOME/kraftbroker_controller.yaml
kubectl delete namespace confluent
