Overview

Product video
This CloudFormation template deploys a 3 node mTLS and JMX enabled Apache Kafka 4.0.0 KRaft cluster on Amazon-Linux 2023 in private subnets across 3 AZs with a public-facing LoadBalancer for controlled access.
mTLS (Mutual TLS) and Kafka-ACLs are fully configured enabling Secure, encrypted intra-cluster and client access. Provided scripts simplify Certificate and Kafka-ACL management and efficient and secure Application onboarding.
JMX is configured for Kafka metrics with node-exporter configured for OS-level metrics providing for integration with an existing Observability stack (or use the CYLLiX template from AWS Marketplace).
KRaft-Controller, Kafka-Broker and Kafka-Connect are individual systemd services.
Multiple clusters can be deployed using customized VPCName & CIDR parameters.
Kafka-logs are on a separate EBS volume. The parameterized volume-size is configurable between 250GiB and 16TB based on cost and performance requirements.
Highlights
- Easy to deploy, customize and use mTLS & JMX configured cluster in customized vpc, custom ebs-size, private subnets across multiple Azs with a public Loadbalancer
- Certificate and ACL management scripts allow for simple and secure mTLS applications onboarding
- JMX Enabled Apache Kafka Cluster can be integrated with your Organization's Observability infrastructure
