Strimzi Operator API
The Strimzi Operator API is expressed through Kubernetes Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs). Operators are controlled by creating and modifying Kafka, KafkaTopic, KafkaUser, KafkaConnect, KafkaMirrorMaker2, KafkaBridge, and related custom resources via the Kubernetes API. The Strimzi operator watches these resources and reconciles the actual cluster state to match the desired specification.
