Chapter 2. Managed broker configuration

When you deploy AMQ Streams on OpenShift, you specify broker configuration through the config property of the Kafka custom resource. However, certain broker configuration options are managed directly by AMQ Streams.

As such, if you are using AMQ Streams on OpenShift, you cannot configure the following options:

Broker IDs start from 0 (zero) and correspond to the number of broker replicas. Log directories are mounted to /var/lib/kafka/data/kafka-logIDX based on the spec.kafka.storage configuration in the Kafka custom resource. IDX is the Kafka broker pod index.

For a list of exclusions, see the KafkaClusterSpec schema reference.

These exclusions don’t apply when using AMQ Streams on RHEL. In this case, you will need to add these properties in your basic broker configuration to identify your brokers and provide secure access.
