Chapter 5. Operating a proxy

When you define a KafkaProxy resource, a number of OpenShift Pods are created, each with a proxy container. Each of these containers runs a single Streams for Apache Kafka Proxy process.

By default, these proxy containers are defined without resource limits. To manage CPU and memory consumption in your environment, modify the proxyContainer section within your KafkaProxy specification.
