Strimzi operator
Kafka operator — manages KRaft Kafka, KafkaUsers, topics, and (on DR) MirrorMaker 2.
Quick facts
What it is
Standard Strimzi install per cluster. Owns the lifecycle of the Kafka CR, the per-user SCRAM credentials (KafkaUser CRs), topic CRs, and on DR the KafkaMirrorMaker2 CR.
Architecture
Add diagrams or topology notes here — how this component sits relative to DC/DR, what replicates, and what speaks to it. Mermaid blocks render as plain text today; embed images under /assets/ when needed.
Configuration
Add chart values overrides, important env vars, OIDC client config, secret references. Link to the source files in infra/gitops-rke2 rather than copying YAML wholesale — the repo is the source of truth.
Operations
Add runbook notes: backup, restore, common troubleshooting, dashboards, on-call cheatsheet entries.
Failover
Add DC/DR cutover/cutback notes: edge HAProxy backend name, healthcheck path, measured cutover/cutback times, smoke-test commands.
