Kafka MirrorMaker Helm Chart

Helm Chart for Production Grade Kafka MirrorMaker deployment on Kubernetes inspired by Confluent Helm charts (https://github.com/confluentinc/cp-helm-charts)

Pre-requirements:

• Kubectl
• GKE Cluster (Kubernetes 1.9.2+)
• Helm 2.8.2+
• A healthy and accessible Kafka Cluster

Deployment on GKE:

// create cluster
gcloud container clusters create test
gcloud container clusters get-credentials test

//initialise helm
helm init

// override helm issue with rbac
kubectl create serviceaccount --namespace kube-system tiller
kubectl create clusterrolebinding tiller-cluster-rule --clusterrole=cluster-admin --serviceaccount=kube-system:tiller
kubectl patch deploy --namespace kube-system tiller-deploy -p '{"spec":{"template":{"spec":{"serviceAccount":"tiller"}}}}'

//deploy mirrormaker
helm install --set kafka.consumerConfig.bootstrap\.servers="dev3-kafka:9092",kafka.producerConfig.bootstrap\.servers="dev4-kafka:9092"  ./og-kafka-mm/

Docker Image Source:

• DockerHub -> opsguruhub
