## AI overview

A practical guide to running PyFlink on Kubernetes with Apache Flink 1.18. It covers installing the Flink Kubernetes Operator and Kafka with Strimzi, creating a PyFlink job that generates data and writes it to Kafka using Flink SQL, building a container image, and deploying the job to Kubernetes.
