Deploying and Running Apache Kafka on Kubernetes

Course details

Apache Kafka has become the de-facto event-streaming platform, and its popularity is growing every year. Did you know that you can even deploy Kafka on a Kubernetes cluster? Whether you’re deploying Kafka yourself or using a tool or a managed service, there are a few key points to keep in mind. In this course, instructor Kate Stanley talks you through how to deploy Kafka on Kubernetes effectively.

Explore the platform's internals and concepts and learn more about the Kubernetes features that fit best with Kafka. Kate covers the Kafka configuration options that are essential to a successful, healthy deployment. She teaches you how to configure Kafka to make it accessible from outside the Kubernetes cluster. Examples are drawn from existing open-source projects, taking you step by step through the deployment process and giving you tips to make it easier along the way.
