This Highly-Secure Confluent Kafka KRaft 8.0.2 image includes mTLS, JMX, Jolokia, Connector-Plugins and Confluent processes managed via systemd. Kafka-logs are on a separate disk from the OS and can be managed separately. The image includes Kafka-ACL and Certificate management scripts to Easily Onboard Secure client applications as well as maintain Confluent-Component Security. Deployment and Troubleshooting Support is on hand. Note: KSQL requires a minimum implementation of 2 nodes (which will require a Confluent License). The objective is to simplify the deployment of Highly Secure Kafka - all that is required is the following 4 lines in user data. #!/bin/bash; hostnamectl set-hostname hostnamehere.domain; hostname >/var/lib/kafka/.NODES; hostname >/var/lib/kafka/.THISNODE
