Chapter 1. About this tutorial
Chapter 1. About this tutorial The tutorial includes the following steps: Deploy a MySQL database server with a simple example database to OpenShift. Apply a custom resource in Streams for Apache Kafka to automatically build a Kafka Connect container image that includes the Debezium MySQL connector plug-in. Create the Debezium MySQL connector resource to capture changes in the database. Verify the connector deployment. View the change events that the connector emits to a Kafka topic from the database. Prerequisites You are familiar with OpenShift and Streams for Apache Kafka. You have access to an OpenShift cluster on which the cluster Operator is installed. The Streams for Apache Kafka Operator is running. An Apache Kafka cluster is deployed as documented in Deploying and Managing Streams for Apache Kafka on OpenShift . You have a Red Hat build of Debezium license. You know how to use OpenShift administration tools. The OpenShift oc CLI client is installed or you have access to the OpenShift Container Platform web console. Depending on how you intend to store the Kafka Connect build image, you must either have permission to access a container registry, or you must create an ImageStream resource on OpenShift: To store the build image in an image registry, such as Red Hat Quay.io or Docker Hub An account and permissions to create and manage images in the registry. To store the build image as a native OpenShift ImageStream An ImageStream resource is deployed to the cluster for storing new container images. You must explicitly create an ImageStream for the cluster. ImageStreams are not available by default. Additional resources: Managing image streams on OpenShift Container Platform .
