Deploys an Interceptor on the Gateway

---
apiVersion: gateway/v2
kind: Interceptor
metadata:
  name: enforce-partition-limit
  # scope:
  #   vCluster: aaa
  #   group: bbb
  #   username: ccc
spec:
  pluginClass: "io.conduktor.gateway.interceptor.safeguard.CreateTopicPolicyPlugin"
  priority: 100
  config:
    topic: "myprefix-.*"
    numPartition:
      min: 5
      max: 5
      action: "INFO"

Interceptor checks:

metadata.scope is optional (default empty).
metadata.scope.[vCluster | group | username] combine with each other to define the targeting
- Check the dedicated Interceptor Targeting section
spec.pluginClass is mandatory. Must be a valid Interceptor class name from our available Interceptors
spec.priority is mandatory
spec.config is a valid config for the pluginClass

Interceptor Targeting

You can activate your Interceptor only in specific scenarios. Use the table below to configure Targeting settings.

Use case	`metadata.scope.vcluster`	`metadata.scope.group`	`metadata.scope.username`
Global Interceptor (Including Virtual Clusters)	Set to `null`	Set to `null`	Set to `null`
Global Interceptor (Excluding Virtual Clusters)	Empty	Empty	Empty
Username Targeting	Empty	Empty	Set
Group Targeting	Empty	Set	Empty
Virtual Cluster Targeting	Set	Empty	Empty
Virtual Cluster + Username Targeting	Set	Empty	Set
Virtual Cluster + Group Targeting	Set	Set	Empty

You can deploy multiple interceptors with the same name using a different targeting scope. This will effectively override the configuration for the scope.

info

The order of precedence from highest (overrides all others) to lowest (most easily overridden) is:

ServiceAccount
Group
VirtualCluster
Global

Examples

---
# This interceptor targets everyone
kind: Interceptor
metadata:
  name: enforce-partition-limit
spec:
  
---
# This interceptor targets only `admin` service account
kind: Interceptor
metadata:
  name: enforce-partition-limit
  scope:
    username: admin
spec:
  
---
# This interceptor targets only `read-only` virtual cluster
kind: Interceptor
metadata:
  name: enforce-partition-limit
  scope:
    vCluster: read-only
spec:
  

GatewayServiceAccount

GatewayServiceAccount is generally optional when using Oauth, mTLS or Delegated Backing Kafka authentication.

GatewayServiceAccount resource is enabled or not depending on your Gateway configuration.
This is to prevent you to declare a resource that is incompatible with your current configuration:

GATEWAY_SECURITY	LOCAL GatewayServiceAccount	EXTERNAL GatewayServiceAccount
PLAINTEXT	🚫	🚫
SSL	🚫	only if mTls
SASL_PLAINTEXT	✅	only if OAuth configured
SASL_SSL	✅	only if OAuth configured
DELEGATED_SASL_PLAINTEXT	🚫	✅
DELEGATED_SASL_SSL	🚫	✅

There are a few cases where you must declare GatewayServiceAccount objects:

Creating Local Service Accounts
Renaming Service Accounts for easier clarity when using Interceptors
Attaching Service Accounts to Virtual Clusters

---
# External User renamed
kind: GatewayServiceAccount
metadata:
  name: application1
spec:
  type: EXTERNAL
  externalNames: 
  - 00u9vme99nxudvxZA0h7
---
# Local User on Virtual Cluster vc-B
kind: GatewayServiceAccount
metadata:
  vcluster: vc-B
  name: admin
spec:
  type: LOCAL

GatewayServiceAccount checks:

When spec.type is EXTERNAL:
- spec.externalNames must be a non-empty list of external names. Each name must be unique across all declared GatewayServiceAccount.
- At the moment we only support a list of one element. Support for multiple externalNames will be added in the future.

GatewayServiceAccount side effects:

When spec.type is EXTERNAL:
- During Client connection, the authenticated user will be checked against the list of externalNames to decide which GatewayServiceAccount it is.
When spec.type is LOCAL:
- Access to /gateway/v2/tokens endpoint to generate a password for this Service Account
- Switching a GatewayServiceAccount spec.type from LOCAL to EXTERNAL does not invalidate previously emitted tokens. They will keep on working for their TTL)

GatewayGroup

Gateway Group lets you add multiple users in the same GatewayGroup for easier Interceptor targeting capabilities.

---
# Users added to the group manually
kind: GatewayGroup
metadata:
  name: group-a
spec:
  members:
    - username: admin
    - vCluster: vc-B
      username: "0000-AAAA-BBBB-CCCC"

GatewayGroup checks:

spec.members[].username is mandatory.
- Currently, the username needs to refer to an existing GatewayServiceAccount otherwise it will fail. This is a known issue that we'll address in a further release.
spec.members[].vCluster is optional. Must refer to an existing Virtual Cluster. When not using Virtual Clusters, don't set this attribute.

GatewayGroup side effects:

All members of the group will be affected by Interceptors deployed with this group's scope.

ConcentrationRule

Concentration Rules allow you to define patterns where topic creation won't generate a physical topic, but will instead use our Topic Concentration feature.

---
kind: ConcentrationRule
metadata:
  # vCluster: vc-B
  name: toutdanstiti
spec:
  pattern: titi-.*
  physicalTopics:
    delete: titi-delete
    compact: titi-compact
    deleteCompact: titi-cd
  autoManaged: false
  offsetCorrectness: false

ConcentrationRule checks:

metadata.vCluster is optional. Must refer to an existing Virtual Cluster. When not using Virtual Clusters, don't set this attribute.
spec.physicalTopics.delete is mandatory. Must be a valid topic name with a cleanup.policy set to delete
spec.physicalTopics.compact is optional. Must be a valid topic name with a cleanup.policy set to compact
spec.physicalTopics.deleteCompact is optional. Must be a valid topic name with a cleanup.policy set to delete,compact
spec.autoManaged is optional, default false
spec.offsetCorrectness is optional, default false

ConcentrationRule side effects:

Once the Concentration Rule is deployed, topics created with a name matching the spec.pattern will not be created as real Kafka topics but as Concentrated Topics instead.
Depending on the topic's cleanup.policy, the topic's data will be stored in one of the configured physical topics.
If a topic creation request is made with a cleanup.policy that isn't configured in the ConcentrationRule, topic creation will fail.
It is not possible to update cleanup.policy of a concentrated topic.
If spec.autoManaged is set to true, the underlying physical topics and configurations will be automatically created and/or extended to honour the topics configurations.
If spec.offsetCorrectness is set to true, Gateway will maintain a list of offsets for each of the Concentrated Topic records.
- This allows for a proper calculation of Message Count and Consumer Group Lag.
- There are some limitation. Read more about Offset Correctness here
If spec.offsetCorrectness is set to false, Gateway will report the offsets of the backing topic records.

caution

If a ConcentrationRule spec changes, it will not affect previously created Concentrated Topics.
It will only affect the Topics created after the change.

VirtualCluster

A Virtual Cluster allows you to isolate one or more service accounts within a logical cluster. Any topic or consumer group created within a Virtual Cluster will be accessible only to that specific Virtual Cluster.

A Virtual Cluster acts like a Kafka within a Kafka.

---
apiVersion: gateway/v2
kind: VirtualCluster
metadata:
 name: "mon-app-A"
spec:
 aclEnabled: true # defaults to false
 superUsers:
 - username1
 - username2

VirtualCluster checks:

metadata.name must be a valid topic prefix.
spec.aclEnabled is optional, default false.

VirtualCluster side effects:

All topics and consumer groups will be created on the physical Kafka with a prefix metadata.name. But, they will appear on the VirtualCluster without the prefix.
Users can be associated to the VirtualCluster through the GatewayServiceAccount resource.
When spec.aclEnabled is set to true, you can configure the superUsers using the spec.superUsers list. You will have to manage the ACLs of other service accounts as you would with any other Kafka.

AliasTopic

An Alias Topic allows a real Kafka topic to appear as a logical topic within the Gateway. This is useful for aliasing topics or making a topic accessible within a Virtual Cluster.

---
apiVersion: gateway/v2
kind: AliasTopic
metadata:
  name: name1
  vCluster: vCluster1
spec:
  physicalName: physicalName1
