Kafka on Kubernetes

In this episode, Ryan and Bhavin interview Justin Lee, Principal Solutions Engineer at Confluent, about all things Kafka on Kubernetes. The discussion focuses on what Kafka is, how it helps developers build applications, and then dives into how developers or operators can deploy and run Kafka on Kubernetes using either Confluent for Kubernetes (CFK) operator from Confluent, or using Strimzi, an open source alternative. The hosts and Justin talk about the different custom resources needed for running Kafka on Kubernetes and then discuss best practices and case studies around the same.
