Redpanda Helm Chart Specification

Affinity constraints for scheduling Pods, can override this for StatefulSets and Jobs. For details, see the Kubernetes documentation.

Default: {}

Audit logging for a redpanda cluster, must have enabled sasl and have one kafka listener supporting sasl authentication for audit logging to work. Note this feature is only available for redpanda versions >= v23.3.0.

Default:

Defines the number of bytes (in bytes) allocated by the internal audit client for audit messages.

Default: 16777216

Enable or disable audit logging, for production clusters we suggest you enable, however, this will only work if you also enable sasl and a listener with sasl enabled.

Default: false

Event types that should be captured by audit logs, default is [admin, authenticate, management].

Default: nil

List of principals to exclude from auditing, default is null.

Default: nil

List of topics to exclude from auditing, default is null.

Default: nil

Kafka listener name, note that it must have authenticationMethod set to sasl. For external listeners, use the external listener name, such as default.

Default: "internal"

Integer value defining the number of partitions used by a newly created audit topic.

Default: 12

In ms, frequency in which per shard audit logs are batched to client for write to audit log.

Default: 500

Defines the maximum amount of memory used (in bytes) by the audit buffer in each shard.

Default: 1048576

Defines the replication factor for a newly created audit log topic. This configuration applies only to the audit log topic and may be different from the cluster or other topic configurations. This cannot be altered for existing audit log topics. Setting this value is optional. If a value is not provided, Redpanda will use the internal_topic_replication_factor cluster config value. Default is null

Default: nil

Authentication settings. For details, see the SASL documentation.

Default:

Details about how to create the bootstrap user for the cluster. The secretKeyRef is optionally specified. If it is specified, the chart will use a password written to that secret when creating the kubernetes-controller'' bootstrap user. If it is unspecified, then the secret will be generated and stored in the secret releasename''-bootstrap-user, with the key ``password''.

Default:

The authentication mechanism to use for the bootstrap user. Options are SCRAM-SHA-256 and SCRAM-SHA-512.

Default: "SCRAM-SHA-256"

Enable SASL authentication. If you enable SASL authentication, you must provide a Secret in auth.sasl.secretRef.

Default: false

The authentication mechanism to use for the superuser. Options are SCRAM-SHA-256 and SCRAM-SHA-512.

Default: "SCRAM-SHA-512"

A Secret that contains your superuser credentials. For details, see the SASL documentation.

Default: "redpanda-users"

Optional list of superusers. These superusers will be created in the Secret whose name is defined in auth.sasl.secretRef. If this list is empty, the Secret in auth.sasl.secretRef must already exist in the cluster before you deploy the chart. Uncomment the sample list if you wish to try adding sample sasl users or override to use your own.

Default: []

Default Kubernetes cluster domain.

Default: "cluster.local"

Additional labels to add to all Kubernetes objects. For example, my.k8s.service: redpanda.

Default: {}

This section contains various settings supported by Redpanda that may not work correctly in a Kubernetes cluster. Changing these settings comes with some risk. Use these settings to customize various Redpanda configurations that are not covered in other sections. These values have no impact on the configuration or behavior of the Kubernetes objects deployed by Helm, and therefore should not be modified for the purpose of configuring those objects. Instead, these settings get passed directly to the Redpanda binary at startup. For descriptions of these properties, see the configuration documentation.

Default:

Cluster Configuration Properties

Default: {}

Broker (node) Configuration Properties.

Default: {"crash_loop_limit":5}

Crash loop limit A limit on the number of consecutive times a broker can crash within one hour before its crash-tracking logic is reset. This limit prevents a broker from getting stuck in an infinite cycle of crashes. User can disable this crash loop limit check by the following action: * One hour elapses since the last crash * The node configuration file, redpanda.yaml, is updated via config.cluster or config.node or config.tunable objects * The startup_log file in the node’s data_directory is manually deleted Default to 5 REF: https://docs.redpanda.com/current/reference/broker-properties/#crash_loop_limit

Default: 5

Tunable cluster properties. Deprecated: all settings here may be specified via config.cluster.

Default:

license (optional).

Default: ""

Secret name and key where the license key is stored.

External access settings. For details, see the Networking and Connectivity documentation.

Default:

Enable external access for each Service. You can toggle external access for each listener in listeners.<service name>.external.<listener-name>.enabled.

Default: true

Service allows you to manage the creation of an external kubernetes service object

Default: {"enabled":true}

Enabled if set to false will not create the external service type You can still set your cluster with external access but not create the supporting service (NodePort/LoadBalander). Set this to false if you rather manage your own service.

Default: true

External access type. Only NodePort and LoadBalancer are supported. If undefined, then advertised listeners will be configured in Redpanda, but the helm chart will not create a Service. You must create a Service manually. Warning: If you use LoadBalancers, you will likely experience higher latency and increased packet loss. NodePort is recommended in cases where latency is a priority.

Default: "NodePort"

Override redpanda.fullname template.

Default:

Optional external access settings.

Default:

Default:

The port advertised to this listener’s external clients. List one port if you want to use the same port for each broker (would be the case when using NodePort service). Otherwise, list the port you want to use for each broker in order of StatefulSet replicas. If undefined, listeners.admin.port is used.

Default: {"cert":"external"}

The port for both internal and external connections to the Admin API.

Default: 9644

Optional TLS section (required if global TLS is enabled)

Default:

Name of the Certificate used for TLS (must match a Certificate name that is registered in tls.certs).

Default: "default"

If true, the truststore file for this listener is included in the ConfigMap.

Default: false

HTTP API listeners (aka PandaProxy).

Default:

Kafka API listeners.

Default:

Default: {}

Labels to apply (or overwrite the default) to the Pods of this Job.

Default: {}

A subset of Kubernetes’ PodSpec type that will be merged into the final PodSpec. See Merge Semantics for details.

Default:

Rack Awareness settings. For details, see the Rack Awareness documentation.

Default:

When running in multiple racks or availability zones, use a Kubernetes Node annotation value as the Redpanda rack value. Enabling this requires running with a service account with `get'' Node permissions. To have the Helm chart configure these permissions, set `serviceAccount.create=true and rbac.enabled=true.

Default: false

The common well-known annotation to use as the rack ID. Override this only if you use a custom Node annotation.

Default:

Role Based Access Control.

Default:

Annotations to add to the rbac resources.

Default: {}

Enable for features that need extra privileges. If you use the Redpanda Operator, you must deploy it with the --set rbac.createRPKBundleCRs=true flag to give it the required ClusterRoles.

Default: false

Pod resource management. This section simplifies resource allocation by providing a single location where resources are defined. Helm sets these resource values within the statefulset.yaml and configmap.yaml templates. The default values are for a development environment. Production-level values and other considerations are documented, where those values are different from the default. For details, see the Pod resources documentation.

Default:

CPU resources. For details, see the Pod resources documentation.

Default: {"cores":1}

Redpanda makes use of a thread per core model. For details, see this blog. For this reason, Redpanda should only be given full cores. Note: You can increase cores, but decreasing cores is supported only from 24.3 Redpanda version. This setting is equivalent to --smp, resources.requests.cpu, and resources.limits.cpu. For production, use 4 or greater. To maximize efficiency, use the static CPU manager policy by specifying an even integer for CPU resource requests and limits. This policy gives the Pods running Redpanda brokers access to exclusive CPUs on the node. See https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/administer-cluster/cpu-management-policies/#static-policy.

Default: 1

Memory resources For details, see the Pod resources documentation.

Default:

Enables memory locking. For production, set to true. enable_memory_locking: false It is recommended to have at least 2Gi of memory per core for the Redpanda binary. This memory is taken from the total memory given to each container. The Helm chart allocates 80% of the container’s memory to Redpanda, leaving the rest for other container processes. So at least 2.5Gi per core is recommended in order to ensure Redpanda has a full 2Gi. These values affect --memory and --reserve-memory flags passed to Redpanda and the memory requests/limits in the StatefulSet. Valid suffixes: k, M, G, T, P, Ki, Mi, Gi, Ti, Pi To create Guaranteed Pod QoS for Redpanda brokers, provide both container max and min values for the container. For details, see https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/configure-pod-container/quality-service-pod/#create-a-pod-that-gets-assigned-a-qos-class-of-guaranteed * Every container in the Pod must have a memory limit and a memory request. * For every container in the Pod, the memory limit must equal the memory request.

Default: {"max":"2.5Gi"}

Maximum memory count for each Redpanda broker. Equivalent to resources.limits.memory. For production, use 10Gi or greater.

Default: "2.5Gi"

Service account management.

Default:

Annotations to add to the service account.

Default: {}

Specifies whether a service account should automount API-Credentials. The token is used in sidecars.controllers

Default: false

Specifies whether a service account should be created.

Default: false

The name of the service account to use. If not set and serviceAccount.create is true, a name is generated using the redpanda.fullname template.

Default: ""

Additional flags to pass to redpanda,

Default: []

Additional labels to be added to statefulset label selector. For example, my.k8s.service: redpanda.

Default: {}

DEPRECATED Please use statefulset.podTemplate.annotations. Annotations are used only for Statefulset.spec.template.metadata.annotations. The StatefulSet does not have any dedicated annotation.

Default: {}

This key is the Certificate name. To apply the Certificate to a specific listener, reference the Certificate’s name in listeners.<listener-name>.tls.cert.

Default: {"caEnabled":true}

Indicates whether or not the Secret holding this certificate includes a ca.crt key. When true, chart managed clients, such as rpk, will use ca.crt for certificate verification and listeners with require_client_auth and no explicit truststore will use ca.crt as their truststore_file for verification of client certificates. When false, chart managed clients will use tls.crt for certificate verification and listeners with require_client_auth and no explicit truststore will use the container’s CA certificates.

Default: true

Example external tls configuration uncomment and set the right key to the listeners that require them also enable the tls setting for those listeners.

Default: {"caEnabled":true}

Indicates whether or not the Secret holding this certificate includes a ca.crt key. When true, chart managed clients, such as rpk, will use ca.crt for certificate verification and listeners with require_client_auth and no explicit truststore will use ca.crt as their truststore_file for verification of client certificates. When false, chart managed clients will use tls.crt for certificate verification and listeners with require_client_auth and no explicit truststore will use the container’s CA certificates.

Default: true

Enable TLS globally for all listeners. Each listener must include a Certificate name in its <listener>.tls object. To allow you to enable TLS for individual listeners, Certificates in auth.tls.certs are always loaded, even if tls.enabled is false. See listeners.<listener-name>.tls.enabled.

Default: {"tune_aio_events":true}

Increase the maximum number of outstanding asynchronous IO operations if the current value is below a certain threshold. This allows Redpanda to make as many simultaneous IO requests as possible, increasing throughput. When this option is enabled, Helm creates a privileged container. If your security profile does not allow this, you can disable this container by setting tune_aio_events to false. For more details, see the tuning documentation.

Default: true
