Unable to launch Confluent control center on AKS

Question

I am starting my journey on Confluent for Kubernetes and while following their quick start guide to install Confluent on AKS I was able to get the pods up and running. https://docs.confluent.io/operator/current/co-quickstart.html

running a quick curl on http://localhost:9021 is giving me a html output.

However after enabling web preview on cloud shell and previewing the port 9021 it is giving me a blank white page.

Am I doing anything wrong? How do I view http://localhost:9021 on AKS?

Answer 1

kubectl port-forward controlcenter-0 9021:9021

It is also written in the docs here.
