Shared Cloud Accounts & Services

The foundational setup required for Streamtime, including shared cloud accounts, domain and certificate management, fleet provider configuration, and identity provider integration.

1. Domain & Certificates

Domains and TLS certificates are required for secure access to your Kafka clusters and management interfaces.

Why Domains & Certificates?

  • Configure a base domain for your Streamtime-managed services.
  • All Kafka clusters, monitoring dashboards, logging endpoints, and schema registries will be accessible under this domain.
  • TLS certificates ensure encrypted communication for all endpoints.
  • Streamtime can manage certificates automatically or you can upload your own.

DNS Configuration

  • Configure your DNS to point to the Streamtime-managed endpoints.
  • Upload or generate TLS certificates for encrypted communication.

Domain & Certificates Configuration See Domains & Certificates for detailed steps.

2. Identity Provider (OIDC)

Integrate your organization’s identity provider using OIDC (OpenID Connect) for secure authentication and single sign-on (SSO).

Why Use an Identity Provider?

  • Streamline user management and authentication across your Kafka clusters.
  • Enable single sign-on (SSO) for users across multiple applications.
  • Centralize user access control and permissions.
  • Support for OIDC-compliant identity providers like Auth0, Keycloak, Okta, and others.

Key Features

  • Simplifies user authentication and authorization.
  • Provides SSO capabilities for users across Kafka clusters and management interfaces.
  • Enables centralized user and access management.

OIDC Integration Example

See Identity Providers for setup instructions.

3. Fleet Provider

A Fleet Provider is the cloud platform where your Kubernetes fleets are provisioned.
Supported providers include:

  • AWS
  • GCP
  • OCI
  • Azure

Why Configure a Fleet Provider?

  • Streamtime automates the provisioning and management of Kubernetes clusters on your chosen cloud provider.
  • Each provider has unique features, regions, and compliance options.
  • Choose the provider that best fits your requirements for region, compliance, and cost.

Configure your fleet provider credentials and permissions to enable automated cluster management.

Fleet Provider Configuration

See Fleet Providers for more information.
