-   [Configure Redpanda in Kubernetes](k-configure-helm-chart/)

    Customize the values of the Redpanda Helm chart or Redpanda resource to configure both the Redpanda cluster and the Kubernetes components.

-   [Configure Redpanda in Kubernetes](k-configure-helm-chart/)

    Customize the values of the Redpanda Helm chart or Redpanda resource to configure both the Redpanda cluster and the Kubernetes components.

-   [Manage Topics with the Redpanda Operator](k-manage-topics/)

    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.

-   [Cloud Topics on Kubernetes](k-cloud-topics/)

    Configure Cloud Topics on Kubernetes to optimize for latency-tolerant, high-throughput workloads using object storage as the primary data tier.

-   [Create and Manage Kafka Connect Connectors in Kubernetes](k-manage-connectors/)

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

-   [Storage for Redpanda in Kubernetes](storage/)

    Find information about Redpanda storage in Kubernetes.

-   [Tiered Storage in Kubernetes](tiered-storage/)

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

-   [Networking and Connectivity in Kubernetes](networking/)

    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](security/)

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

-   [Enable Rack Awareness in Kubernetes](k-rack-awareness/)

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

-   [Remote Read Replicas in Kubernetes](k-remote-read-replicas/)

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

-   [Shadowing in Kubernetes](shadowing/)

    Configure and manage shadow links for disaster recovery in Kubernetes deployments.

-   [Manage Pod Resources in Kubernetes](k-manage-resources/)

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

-   [Scale Redpanda in Kubernetes](k-scale-redpanda/)

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

-   [Cluster Maintenance](lifecycle/)

    Manage the lifecycle of Redpanda brokers in Kubernetes, including node pools, decommissioning, recovery mode, and rolling restarts.

-   [Monitor in Kubernetes](monitoring/)

    Find topics about how to monitor Redpanda deployments in Kubernetes.

-   [Resilience Testing in Kubernetes](k-resilience-testing/)

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