14.8. Returning connection details for services


Service discovery makes it easier for client applications running in the same OpenShift cluster as Streams for Apache Kafka to interact with a Kafka cluster.

A service discovery label and annotation are generated for services used to access the Kafka cluster:

  • Internal Kafka bootstrap service
  • Kafka Bridge service

The label helps to make the service discoverable, while the annotation provides connection details for client applications to establish connections.

The service discovery label, strimzi.io/discovery, is set as true for the Service resources. The service discovery annotation has the same key, providing connection details in JSON format for each service.

Example internal Kafka bootstrap service

apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
  annotations:
    strimzi.io/discovery: |-
      [ {
        "port" : 9092,
        "tls" : false,
        "protocol" : "kafka",
        "auth" : "scram-sha-512"
      }, {
        "port" : 9093,
        "tls" : true,
        "protocol" : "kafka",
        "auth" : "tls"
      } ]
  labels:
    strimzi.io/cluster: my-cluster
    strimzi.io/discovery: "true"
    strimzi.io/kind: Kafka
    strimzi.io/name: my-cluster-kafka-bootstrap
  name: my-cluster-kafka-bootstrap
spec:
  #...

Example Kafka Bridge service

apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
  annotations:
    strimzi.io/discovery: |-
      [ {
        "port" : 8080,
        "tls" : false,
        "auth" : "none",
        "protocol" : "http"
      } ]
  labels:
    strimzi.io/cluster: my-bridge
    strimzi.io/discovery: "true"
    strimzi.io/kind: KafkaBridge
    strimzi.io/name: my-bridge-bridge-service

Find services by specifying the discovery label when fetching services from the command line or a corresponding API call.

Returning services using the discovery label

oc get service -l strimzi.io/discovery=true

Connection details are returned when retrieving the service discovery label.
