Deploy Serverless Apache Kafka Connectors on Amazon

This post details a pattern for deploying self-managed Kafka Connectors on AWS EKS Fargate, enabling a serverless operational model. It outlines the steps for setting up an EKS cluster with Fargate profiles, creating IAM roles for S3 access, deploying the Confluent Operator, configuring Kubernetes secrets for Confluent Cloud credentials, and deploying the S3 source connector using Confluent for Kubernetes (CFK). The example demonstrates reading data from S3 and writing it to a Confluent Cloud topic.
