Usability enhancements for operator-managed gateway deployments
The custom resource YAML file that the Event Endpoint Management UI generates for deploying operator-managed Event Gateways includes the following usability enhancements:
- Added default certificate and issuer specifications. The specifications for a default cert-manager issuer and certificate are included in the Event Gateway YAML, so users no longer need to create them manually. For more information, see installing an operator-managed Event Gateway .
- Removed OpenTelemetry (OTEL) metric properties. OTEL metrics are configured after Event Gateway installation. For more information, see export metrics.

The Event Gateway identifies any clients that are calling APIs that are deprecated in Kafka 4.0.0 and later. If any deprecated API calls are identified, then a warning is displayed in the Event Endpoint Management UI. For more information, see troubleshooting.
