Configure External Access
- Configure External Access through a NodePort Service
Use a NodePort Service to expose your Redpanda cluster to clients outside of your Kubernetes cluster.
- Configure External Access through LoadBalancer Services
Use LoadBalancer Services to expose your Redpanda cluster to clients outside of your Kubernetes cluster.
- Use a Custom Service for External Access
Expose your Redpanda cluster to clients outside of your Kubernetes cluster by using a custom Service.
Setting up external access to your Redpanda cluster allows applications running outside the Kubernetes cluster to communicate with Redpanda. To make the Redpanda brokers externally accessible, the Pods must be exposed through Kubernetes Services.
