Get the hostname as in the screenshot:
or apply the following command:
kubectl get gateway kyma-gateway -n kyma-system -o=jsonpath='{.spec.servers[0].hosts[0]}'
```
Then apply the .yaml files.

- Redis
kubectl apply -f /k8s/redis
Test the Kafka Connection
-Deploy testclient
kubectl apply -f /Step1_Setup/k8s/kafkatestclient.yaml
-Create Topic
kubectl exec -ti testclient -- ./bin/kafka-topics.sh --zookeeper zookeeper:32181 --topic messages --create --partitions 1 --replication-factor 1
-Check Topic
kubectl exec -ti testclient -- ./bin/kafka-topics.sh --zookeeper zookeeper:32181 --list
-Create a listener for the topic ( open a new terminal session for this)
kubectl exec -ti testclient -- ./bin/kafka-console-consumer.sh --bootstrap-server kafka:29092 --topic messages --from-beginning
-Create a producer for the topic ( open a new terminal session for this)
kubectl exec -ti testclient -- ./bin/kafka-console-producer.sh --broker-list kafka:29092 --topic messages
Enter a message in the producer terminal session, this should be shown in the listener session.
Test the AKHQ Website
The AKQH website shows the topics created. You have to forward the local port, here to 9090 local
kubectl port-forward <akhq-pod> localport:8080
Open your browser and enter the URL
localhost:9090/akhq
See the Kafka topics an messages.
