The Knative broker implementation for Apache Kafka provides integration options for you to use supported versions of the Apache Kafka message streaming platform with OpenShift Serverless. Kafka provides options for event source, channel, broker, and event sink capabilities.
In addition to the Knative Eventing components that are provided as part of a core OpenShift Serverless installation, cluster administrators can install the KnativeKafka custom resource (CR).
The KnativeKafka CR provides users with additional options, such as:
Kafka source
Kafka channel
Kafka broker
Kafka sink
