Chapter 51. TlsSidecar schema reference


Used in: CruiseControlSpec, EntityOperatorSpec

Full list of TlsSidecar schema properties

Configures a TLS sidecar, which is a container that runs in a pod, but serves a supporting purpose. In Streams for Apache Kafka, the TLS sidecar uses TLS to encrypt and decrypt communication between components and ZooKeeper.

The TLS sidecar is used in the Entity Operator.

The TLS sidecar is configured using the tlsSidecar property in Kafka.spec.entityOperator.

The TLS sidecar supports the following additional options:

  • image
  • resources
  • logLevel
  • readinessProbe
  • livenessProbe

The resources property specifies the memory and CPU resources allocated for the TLS sidecar.

The image property configures the container image which will be used.

The readinessProbe and livenessProbe properties configure healthcheck probes for the TLS sidecar.

The logLevel property specifies the logging level. The following logging levels are supported:

  • emerg
  • alert
  • crit
  • err
  • warning
  • notice
  • info
  • debug

The default value is notice.
