I would recommend running your application inside a different K8s container to better isolate the broker from any issues inside the application impacting the broker itself.

Can I run my application service container part of the same Kubernetes cluster that runs Pulsar? Trying to avoid managing two separate K8s clusters.

yes. just run it as a different pod and not a container within the broker pod. 😃

What is the advantage of running another pod on the same node as the broker pod? Thanks!!

Hi @Alex Katebi, same reason David initially pointed out (isolation). Kubernetes is designed so that pods can come and go (“cattle not pets”). Nodes are an abstraction that may map to a physical or virtual machine and K8S knows best on what/when to schedule what pods on what nodes. The k8s reference docs ALWAYS explain it better than I can though 🙂

Thanks everyone!!!
