= Deploying Kafka MirrorMaker to your Kubernetes cluster

This procedure shows how to deploy a Kafka MirrorMaker cluster to your Kubernetes cluster using the Cluster Operator.

The deployment uses a YAML file to provide the specification to create a `KafkaMirrorMaker` or `KafkaMirrorMaker2` resource depending on the version of MirrorMaker deployed.

In this procedure, we use the example files provided with {ProductName}:

* `examples/kafka-connect/kafka-mirror-maker.yaml`
* `examples/kafka-connect/kafka-mirror-maker2.yaml`

For information about configuring `KafkaMirrorMaker` or `KafkaMirrorMaker2` resources,
see link:{BookURLUsing}#assembly-deployment-configuration-kafka-mirror-maker-str[Kafka MirrorMaker configuration^].
