TOCC is the test framework developed by Confluent to test the tiered storage functionality and to certify partner object stores. The TOCC framework requires a test Kafka cluster to be deployed with Confluent Platform version 6.2.0 or later. We deployed and started the Confluent Platform using the instructions provided here. Particularly, the components started were Kafka Brokers, ZooKeeper, and Control Center.
