<div dir="ltr">Hi Tom,<div><br></div><div>We plan to look at this after we have the work around security finished (Encryption, Authentication, Authorization). Basically, we would expose Kafka through several routes / loadbalancers. We would probably consider also node ports which might deliver best performance (but which will have several other implications). Until it is implemented, there is really no way how to work around it. </div><div><br></div><div>An alternative to exposing Kafka directly is to use some bridge / proxy. For example the AMQP - Kafka bridge which is part of Strimzi project and is much easier to expose.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks & Regards</div><div>Jakub</div><div><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Wed, Jun 6, 2018 at 10:09 AM Tom Llewelyn <<a href="mailto:tllewely@redhat.com">tllewely@redhat.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div style="word-wrap:break-word;line-break:after-white-space">Hi List<div><br></div><div>I am currently working with a customer who are looking at using Kafka on OpenShift for future production workloads but $SUBJECT is currently one of their main sticking points.</div><div><br></div><div>I notice that this is listed as a roadmap item without any specific timeframe or notes.  Has there been any discussion as yet on the possible mechanisms for enabling external access or does anyone on the list have ideas about how we might best approach this today?</div><div><br></div><div>Kind regards</div><div><br></div><div>Tom</div><div><br><div>
