1. Managing Permissions for Kafka Connectors with Confluent Cloud Rolebinding

    Python

    To manage permissions for Kafka Connectors in Confluent Cloud using Pulumi, you'll need to use the confluentcloud.RoleBinding resource. This resource represents a role binding in Confluent Cloud, which is a relationship between a role and a user or a service account, granting permissions to perform certain actions on resources.

    A Kafka Connector in Confluent Cloud connects Kafka topics to external systems such as databases, key-value stores, search indexes, and file systems. Using connectors, you can create, update, and manage the flow of data and manage event streams in real time.

    By creating a RoleBinding, you'll be specifying which principals (users or service accounts) are assigned to which roles, and thereby controlling their permissions to interact with Kafka connectors.

    The role assigned to a principal determines the actions that the principal can perform. For example, a principal with a "ConnectorAdmin" role might be able to create, update, and delete connectors, while a principal with a "ConnectorEditor" role might only be able to view and update connectors.

    To use the confluentcloud.RoleBinding with Pulumi, you first need to create a service account in Confluent Cloud that will interact with the Kafka Connect cluster. Then you will define a role binding that attaches the appropriate role to the service account.

    Here's how you would use Pulumi in Python to implement this; the below program assumes you've already set up a service account in Confluent Cloud and you have the corresponding details:

    import pulumi import pulumi_confluentcloud as confluentcloud # Replace these variables with your actual service account and Kafka cluster details service_account_id = "service-account-id" role_name = "ConnectorAdmin" # Choose the appropriate role here kafka_cluster_id = "kafka-cluster-id" # Create a new Confluent Cloud Role Binding for a service account confluent_role_binding = confluentcloud.RoleBinding("confluentRoleBinding", principal=f"User:{service_account_id}", roleName=role_name, crnPattern=f"crn://confluent.cloud/kafka={kafka_cluster_id}/*" ) # Export the role binding ID so you can refer to it later pulumi.export('role_binding_id', confluent_role_binding.id)

    This program will create a new role binding in Confluent Cloud. It assigns the role specified in role_name to the principal specified in principal, which is a service account in this case. The crnPattern specifies the resources that the role applies to; it could either be all resources in the Kafka cluster or specific ones, depending on your requirements.

    To use this Pulumi program:

    1. Replace the placeholder values of service_account_id, role_name, and kafka_cluster_id with actual values from your Confluent Cloud environment.
    2. Run pulumi up in your CLI to preview and deploy the changes.

    Make sure you have the Pulumi CLI installed and have the appropriate Confluent Cloud provider configuration set for authentication. The Pulumi Confluent Cloud provider will handle the interaction with Confluent Cloud API to create the role binding.

    For more information about managing Confluent Cloud resources using Pulumi and about the confluentcloud.RoleBinding resource specifically, you can refer to the Pulumi Confluent Cloud provider documentation.
