OpenShift / OKD Specify URL for each Pod Replica

If your application also runs in OpenShift, run oc get svc to find names of each broker. Note these names are only accessible inside OpenShift cluster.

For example, if oc get svc returns:

> oc get svcNAME                                  TYPE        CLUSTER-IP       EXTERNAL-IP   PORT(S)                      AGEmy-cluster-kafka-0                    ClusterIP   172.30.210.241   <none>        9094/TCP                     109dmy-cluster-kafka-1                    ClusterIP   172.30.39.25     <none>        9094/TCP                     109dmy-cluster-kafka-2                    ClusterIP   172.30.93.193    <none>        9094/TCP                     109d

, you can access kafka-0 by my-cluster-kafka-0 or my-cluster-kafka-0.<pod_namespace>.svc.cluster.local

If your application runs outsides OpenShift, please configure strimzi external listeners. Among the three options to setup external listeners, NodePort may be easier if you run on-premise OKD.

If you have a statefulset with a headless service, then you can access each pod with $(podname).$(service name).$(namespace).svc
