4.3. Downloading Streams for Apache Kafka release artifacts

To use deployment files to install Streams for Apache Kafka, download and extract the files from the Streams for Apache Kafka software downloads page.

Streams for Apache Kafka release artifacts include sample YAML files to help you deploy the components of Streams for Apache Kafka to OpenShift, perform common operations, and configure your Kafka cluster.

Use oc to deploy the Cluster Operator from the install/cluster-operator folder of the downloaded ZIP file. For more information about deploying and configuring the Cluster Operator, see 第 6.2 节 “Deploying the Cluster Operator”.

In addition, if you want to use standalone installations of the Topic and User Operators with a Kafka cluster that is not managed by the Streams for Apache Kafka Cluster Operator, you can deploy them from the install/topic-operator and install/user-operator folders.
