Kafka service scaling
kubectl create job --from=cronjob/admin-kafka-scaler -n ice-arcus kafka-scaler
The cronjob/admin-kafka-scaler is already added to the helm chart. When either scaling up or down, the script behaves in the same way:
*Checks the current active nodes in the Kubernetes cluster and then makes an appropriate number of Kafka brokers.
*Distributes Kafka topics across the brokers. and creates replicas of every topic on every broker.
*Execution takes about 6-7 minutes as the brokers are brought up or terminated, depending on is scaling up or down.
