Is your organization scaling Apache Kafka on Kubernetes with the need for efficient resource management and automated balancing? Strimzi, an open-source solution for running Kafka on Kubernetes, integrates with Cruise Control to offer advanced workload rebalancing, monitoring, and optimization. This integration provides you with production-grade automation for workload distribution and resource efficiency, reducing manual intervention and improving resiliency in a cloud-native environment.
This session is for Kafka operators, SREs, and DevOps engineers seeking to optimize Kafka on Kubernetes. We’ll cover the setup of Cruise Control, automated rebalancing strategies, and real-world examples demonstrating dynamic traffic scaling, rapid failure recovery, and optimized resource usage. Attendees will also see a live demo of Cruise Control rebalancing a Kafka cluster to maximize performance and stability.
