Manage Redpanda in Kubernetes

• Configure Redpanda in Kubernetes

  Customize the values of the Redpanda Helm chart to configure the cluster and the Kubernetes components that the chart deploys.

• Configure Cluster Properties in Kubernetes

  Learn how to configure cluster properties in Kubernetes.

• Manage Topics with the Redpanda Operator

  Use the Topic resource to declaratively create Kafka topics as part of a Redpanda deployment. Each Topic resource is mapped to a topic in your Redpanda cluster. The topic controller keeps the corresponding Kafka topic in sync with the Topic resource.

• Create and Manage Kafka Connect Connectors in Kubernetes

  Learn how to create and manage connectors using Redpanda Console or the Kafka Connect REST API.

• Storage for Redpanda in Kubernetes

  Find information about Redpanda storage in Kubernetes.

• Tiered Storage in Kubernetes

  Tiered Storage helps to lower storage costs by offloading log segments to object storage.

• Networking and Connectivity in Kubernetes

  Learn how to set up and manage network connections for Redpanda in Kubernetes. This section covers a range of topics, including how to enable external access, connect clients to a Redpanda cluster, and configure listeners.

• Security for Redpanda in Kubernetes

  Learn what options are available for securing Redpanda clusters, including TLS encryption, authentication, authorization, and audit logging.

• Enable Rack Awareness in Kubernetes

  Enable rack awareness to place partition replicas across different failure zones.

• Remote Read Replicas in Kubernetes

  Create read-only topics (Remote Read Replica topics) that mirror topics on a different cluster.

• Manage Pod Resources in Kubernetes

  Configure your Pod resources such as memory, CPU, and storage.

• Scale Redpanda in Kubernetes

  Learn how to scale a Redpanda cluster vertically to increase its resources and horizontally to add or remove brokers from a cluster.

• Enable the PVCUnbinder

  The PVCUnbinder is an emergency backstop for Redpanda clusters that use PersistentVolumes (PVs) for the Redpanda data directory. When a node running a Redpanda Pod suddenly goes offline, the PVCUnbinder detects the lost node, retains the associated PV, and removes the corresponding PersistentVolumeClaim (PVC). This workflow allows the Redpanda Pod to be rescheduled on a new node without losing critical data.

• Decommission Brokers in Kubernetes

  Remove a Redpanda broker from the cluster without risking data loss or causing instability.

• Recovery Mode in Kubernetes

  Recovery mode starts Redpanda with limited functionality and disables partitions so you can repair a failed cluster.

• Monitor in Kubernetes

  Find topics about how to monitor Redpanda deployments in Kubernetes.

• Perform a Rolling Restart of Redpanda in Kubernetes

  Learn how to perform a rolling restart of your Redpanda cluster when it's running in Kubernetes.

• Resilience Testing in Kubernetes

  With resilience testing, you can introduce failures and observe how the system behaves under each failure scenario.
