Clarity on Externally exposing connect and kafka broker

[gavasv-sapiens]

Hello Community,
We are currently planning to use this helm deployments for our Dev environment. One issue that we are facing is current helms does not have ingress or external Ip load balancer for them.
Anyone with the knowledge on this can you please guide us on how to we manage to have consumer and producer onto the broker.
Any help will be appreciated.
Regards
Vishal Gavas

These charts are no longer maintained. Perhaps this blog can add clarity - https://strimzi.io/blog/2019/04/17/accessing-kafka-part-1/

@OneCricketeer
what do you mean?
is these charts deprecated! if yes which chart available there for kafka and it's assets like connect ?

These charts are deprecated for Confluent Operator for Kubernetes (CFK)

Kafka Connect isn't specific to Confluent, though, so you could also use Strimzi Kafka Connect CRDs
