4.1. Encryption

Streams for Apache Kafka supports Transport Layer Security (TLS) to encrypt communication between Kafka and its clients. TLS is enabled per listener in the Kafka custom resource, and communication between internal components is always encrypted.

4.2. Entity Operator

The Entity Operator runs the Topic Operator and User Operator in separate containers within its pod, allowing them to handle topic and user management.
