 Once all pods have status 'Running', Hono is ready to be used.

+Hono is configured to use an example Kafka cluster for messaging. To learn more
+about it, you should follow the guide for Getting started with Kafka messaging at
+https://eclipse.org/hono/getting-started-kafka/
+
+Clients can connect to the Kafka cluster with the configuration properties below.
+The Getting started guide shows how to obtain the actual values of the IP address
+and the path to the truststore. Please don't forget to replace them before using
+this config:
+
+  bootstrap.servers=$KAFKA_IP:9094
+  ssl.truststore.location=$KAFKA_TRUSTSTORE_PATH
+  security.protocol=SASL_SSL
+  sasl.mechanism=SCRAM-SHA-512

+  ssl.truststore.password={{ .Values.kafka.auth.tls.password | quote }}

+The messaging in Hono is configured to use the Kafka cluster with the boostrap servers:
