DataHub

just re-posting my earlier question here, I'm a bit new to DataHub. I've deployed DataHub on K8 using the default helm charts. From what it seems, I will have to configure a LoadBalance to access Kafka from outside the cluster. Is this the recommended approach?. I want to set up DataHub action. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you

Hi Carl! Yes - if you're deploying Kafka as a prerequisite (as opposed to using a managed service like Confluent or AWS MSK), then you will need a LoadBalancer to expose it to the outside world!

In order to set up DataHub actions, you already have a DataHub actions pod. All you need to do it mount a configuration file (and action definition) in the right place inside the `datahub-actions` container -&gt; <https://github.com/acryldata/datahub-actions/blob/main/docs/guides/developing-an-action.md#step-2-installing-the-action>

Thank you <@U01GCJKA8P9>! Just one small bit. In the `datahub-actions` container, the `start_datahub_actions.sh` script runs the user actions from `/etc/datahub/actions/conf/` folder. I'm thinking this is the right place to mount my configuration and action definition file, is this correct?

Hi <@U01GCJKA8P9>. I'm still getting familiar with DataHub. I deployed actions successfully, thank you. I mounted my config and action definition files in the `home` folder in the `data hub-actions` container. But I'm having to exec into the docker container to run the actions. Is this the right way? I can understand that this is because the python runtime and data hub-actions cli are all present in the container. Is there a way to run the actions without the need to exec into the `datahub-action`` container? I know this is a bit of a rumble, but just trying to know the recommended way to set things  up. Thank you
