The Kafka application bundle deploys a Confluent Kafka 7.5 cluster. The figure below shows the application creation screen for the Kafka bundle.
This bundle includes the standard Kafka components, including:
- Kafka Broker
- Kafka Schema Registry
- Kafka REST proxy
- Confluent Control Center
- ZooKeeper (for runtime support)
At application creation time, the number of brokers can be specified. The bundle also allows resources to be specified, including number of cores and memory per broker. As part of the broker configuration, the location and amount of storage for the Kafka queues can also be specified.
