Red Hat OpenShift Connectors: Seamlessly connect external sources to a managed Apache Kafka service

Red Hat OpenShift Connectors represent a new cloud service offering from Red Hat. They are pre-built connectors for quick and reliable connectivity across data, services, and systems. Red Hat OpenShift Connectors are delivered as a fully managed service, tightly integrated with OpenShift Streams for Apache Kafka, Red Hat's managed cloud service for Apache Kafka.

At the moment, there are more than 50 source and sink connectors available. These include source and sink connectors to a variety of cloud services based on the awesome Camel K technology, as well as source connectors for databases based on the popular Debezium project for change data capture.

In this guided workshop, you will learn how to:

Provision and configure an instance of OpenShift Streams for Apache Kafka
Provision source connectors to send data or events to the Kafka instance, along with sink connectors to send data from Kafka to a destination service.
