<p>You can interact with the admin interface via:</p>

</blockquote></li>
<li><p>HTTP calls, which are made against the admin <a href="https://pulsar.apache.org/admin-rest-api#/">REST</a>
 API provided by Pulsar brokers. For some RESTful APIs, they might be redirected to the owner brokers for serving with <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Status/307"><code>307 Temporary Redirect</code></a>, hence the HTTP callers should handle <code>307 Temporary Redirect</code>. If you use <code>curl</code> commands, you should specify <code>-L</code> to handle redirections.</p>

<p>For the latest and complete information about <code>REST API</code>, including parameters, responses, samples, and more, see <a href="https://pulsar.apache.org/admin-rest-api#/">REST</a>

</blockquote></li>
</ul>
<blockquote>
<p><strong>The REST API is the admin interface</strong>. Both the <code>pulsar-admin</code> CLI tool and the Java client use the REST API. If you implement your own admin interface client, you should use the REST API.</p>

<p>If you run Pulsar Functions or connectors on Kubernetes, you need to follow Kubernetes naming convention to define the names of your Pulsar resources, whichever admin interface you use.</p>
<p>Kubernetes requires a name that can be used as a DNS subdomain name as defined in <a href="https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/overview/working-with-objects/names/#names">RFC 1123</a>. Pulsar supports more legal characters than Kubernetes naming convention. If you create a Pulsar resource name with special characters that are not supported by Kubernetes (for example, including colons in a Pulsar namespace name), Kubernetes runtime translates the Pulsar object names into Kubernetes resource labels which are in RFC 1123-compliant forms. Consequently, you can run functions or connectors using Kubernetes runtime. The rules for translating Pulsar object names into Kubernetes resource labels are as below:</p>
<ul>
<li><p>Truncate to 63 characters</p></li>
<li><p>Replace the following characters with dashes (-):</p>
<ul>
<li><p>Non-alphanumeric characters</p></li>
<li><p>Underscores (_)</p></li>
<li><p>Dots (.)</p></li>
</ul></li>
<li><p>Replace beginning and ending non-alphanumeric characters with 0</p></li>
</ul>
<blockquote>
<p><strong>Tip</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><p>If you get an error in translating Pulsar object names into Kubernetes resource labels (for example, you may have a naming collision if your Pulsar object name is too long) or want to customize the translating rules, see <a href="https://pulsar.apache.org/docs/en/next/functions-runtime/#customize-kubernetes-runtime">customize Kubernetes runtime</a>.</p></li>
<li><p>For how to configure Kubernetes runtime, see <a href="https://pulsar.apache.org/docs/en/next/functions-runtime/#configure-kubernetes-runtime">here</a>.</p></li>
