Description
We run a multi tenant system. In general environments are the same except for the name of the tenant. To keep hosting overhead down we'd like to have all our tenants share one Kafka cluster. Where we keep the tenants apart using ACLs.
To do this now with Kafka-Gitops we would need to have a lot of repetition in our state file, and thus a lot of messy copy- paste-adapting every time we need to connect a new tentnat to our system. Or when we want to introduce a new application service for all our tenants.
In Terraform you can have variables and such, and generate resources for each item in a list. We've set it up so that we can just add the Tenant to a list and from there on Terraform creates all the resources needed for that tenant.
Are there any plans to add this kind of templating to Kafka-Gitops as well?
Maybe even just a way to share a custom ACL between multiple services or users without having to repeat the whole ACL for each and every one. That would already make the state file a whole lot more concise for us.
