Cluster administrators can enable the use of Knative Kafka functionality in an {ServerlessProductName} deployment by instantiating the `KnativeKafka` custom resource definition provided by the *Knative Kafka* {ServerlessOperatorName} API.
8
+
The {ServerlessOperatorName} provides the Knative Kafka API that can be used to create a `KnativeKafka` custom resource:
Using Kafka components in an event-driven architecture provides "at least once" event delivery. This means that operations are retried until a return code value is received. This makes applications more resilient to lost events; however, it might result in duplicate events being sent.

+
10
+
For the Kafka event source, there is a fixed number of retries for event delivery by default. For Kafka channels, retries are only performed if they are configured in the Kafka channel `Delivery` spec.
In addition to the Knative Eventing components that are provided as part of a core {ServerlessProductName} installation, cluster administrators can install the `KnativeKafka` custom resource (CR).

The `KnativeKafka` CR provides users with additional options, such as:
12
+
13
+
* Kafka event source
14
+
* Kafka channel
15
+
// * Kafka broker
