Cluster linking in Apache Kafka

Can someone please confirm if Cluster Linking is available in Apache Kafka? Or its limited only to Confluent Kafka.

I have a requirement to link one VM based Confluent Platform cluster to another VM based Apache Kafka cluster. Hence trying to see if thats possible

Thanks in Advance!

Solution

  • Confluent Server or Confluent Cloud must be the destination cluster of the link, per the documentation

    MirrorMaker2 is the only builtin option to Apache Kafka for cluster replication.

    There are other open source Kafka replication tools like LinkedIn Brooklin as well
