kafka in Kubernetes cluster

Question

I have Kafka deployed and running in Kubernetes cluster. I have 3 kube-nodes in my kubernetes cluster. I have 3 Kafka and 3 zookeeper applications running and I have services zoo1,zoo2,zoo3 and kafka-1, kafka-2 and kafka-3 running corresponding to them. I am able to publish/consume from inside kubernetes cluster but I am not able to publish/consume from outside of kubernetes cluster i.e., from external machine not part of kubernetes cluster.

Answer 1

Configure kafka container as follows:

  ports:
    - containerPort: 9092
    - containerPort: 9093
    env:
    - name: KAFKA_ZOOKEEPER_CONNECT
      value: "zookeeper:2181"
    - name: KAFKA_LISTENER_SECURITY_PROTOCOL_MAP
      value: "INTERNAL_PLAINTEXT:PLAINTEXT,EXTERNAL_PLAINTEXT:PLAINTEXT"
    - name: KAFKA_ADVERTISED_LISTENERS
      value: "INTERNAL_PLAINTEXT://kafka-internal-service:9092,EXTERNAL_PLAINTEXT://123.us-east-2.elb.amazonaws.com:9093"
    - name: KAFKA_LISTENERS
      value: "INTERNAL_PLAINTEXT://0.0.0.0:9092,EXTERNAL_PLAINTEXT://0.0.0.0:9093"
    - name: KAFKA_INTER_BROKER_LISTENER_NAME
      value: "INTERNAL_PLAINTEXT"
