    Running Strimzi on OpenShift Online

    OpenShift Online is a managed OpenShift-as-a-Service offering from Red Hat. It has a Starter tier and a Pro tier. The Starter tier is for free, but offers only very limited resources. In the Pro tier, you can buy additional resources. Can it be used to run Apache Kafka using the Strimzi project? Of course it can! But OpenShift Online has some limitations. So we will need to do some modifications to the default Strimzi installation files to get it up and running.

    Apache Kafka on Kubernetes and OpenShift: Barnabas is dead ... long live Strimzi!

    this is a re-publication of the following blog post

    Almost one year and half ago, I started my journey about running Apache Kafka on Kubernetes and OpenShift. At that time, these containers orchestration platforms were focused on “stateless” (micro)services so there wasn’t a real support for a technology like Apache Kafka which is “stateful” by definition.
