The SN operators are under a community license.

What about: https://github.com/streamnative/pulsar-resources-operator/blob/main/LICENSE

Actually an interesting question. 🤔 I also thought that it was under Apache 2.0. If not, it should definitely be reflected on GitHub.

Thanks for the feedback. The resource and function mesh operators are both ASF-licensed. As stated in the GitHub repo, the pulsar operators are under the community license.

@David K Thank you for the response. At first glance, it wasn’t clear that the pulsar-operator is not the same as any of the pulsar-resources-operator. Operator here, operator there… 🙂 Maybe not necessary, but would be nice to have some notion with bold font that it’s not the same things and licenses are different. @Michał Cukierman what do you think?

I think it’s proper legally, but I needed to ask, so may be unclear for others too. KAAP is open source, so probably it should be considered as default/recommended way of installing Pulsar?

> KAAP is open source, so probably it should be considered as default/recommended way of installing Pulsar? I would probably wait for several battle-tested reviews first, before considering it default/recommended.

Kaap could be a starter. It’s widely used already. Would be good to have a community driven k8s deployment mechanism for pulsar, which is cloud native.

Rather than fork Kaap you could ask DataStax to contribute it. Many of the DS developers are also on the Apache Pulsar PMC. @Nicoló Boschi ?

As Dave said, KAAP (https://github.com/datastax/kaap) is open source and Apache 2.0 licensed. No need to fork, let's help to build the community instead. Donating to the Pulsar community would be nice - in the future, even thought the process is not straightforward and it requires a relevant effort. I'd be happy to discuss about that if there's interest.

Its java based, so probably could be ported to use https://github.com/quarkiverse/quarkus-operator-sdk to leverage graalvm

👍

@Nicoló Boschi Thanks for the clarification. We will use KAAP as the default option due to licensing. We also use Quarkus/SmallRye/GraalVM in our product, and we have a plan to create operator for our application. Soon we should have skills to contribute (we need to learn the framework).

That would be great, feel free to ping me directly on DM for getting help and discuss about improvements
