Cluster Link Public Gateway Setup

Overview

This guide outlines the steps to establish a bidirectional link between two Confluent Kafka clusters: one designated as 'public' (inbound) and the other as 'private' (outbound).

Prerequisites

  • Confluent Cloud CLI installed and configured.
  • Access to two Confluent Cloud clusters with necessary permissions for link creation.

Setup Instructions

Step 1: Prepare Configuration Files

Modify the configuration files (bidirectional-inbound.config and bidirectional-outbound.config) in the link-configs directory.

Step 2. Configure Environment Variables

Edit the cluster_link_vars.sh file with the appropriate environment and cluster details.

Step 3. Create the Inbound Link on the Public Cluster

Run the public_create_inbound_only_cl.sh script to establish the inbound link.

Step 4. Create the Outbound Link on the Private Cluster

Run the private_create_outbound_only_cl.sh script to set up the outbound link.

Notes:

  • Make sure to run the scripts in the order provided to properly configure the bidirectional link between the clusters.
  • Ensure that the API keys and secrets provided have the necessary permissions to perform the operations.
