An Introduction to Kafka Cruise Control

« Kafka Summit London 2023

Using just the basic tools that come with Apache Kafka makes operating your own cluster hard work and time consuming. Tasks like moving partitions across brokers, scaling up clusters, or decommissioning nodes are harder than they need to be. Cruise Control is an open source tool to make managing and operating Kafka much easier. It helps you perform these common tasks, but it’s also capable of automatically healing your cluster if brokers crash. With its UI you can easily do basic monitoring too.

Getting the most out of Cruise Control will enable you to manage Kafka clusters effectively across a range of Kafka infrastructures. We will see demos to showcase how to apply the powers of Cruise Control: rebalance load on the cluster by a simple command, or make your brokers ready for maintenance. We will also learn about the self-healing feature that can repair your cluster if nodes crash and restore offline replicas to ensure your Kafka cluster is fully functioning.

Join this session if you want to learn how to use Cruise Control to automate Kafka cluster management and make your team’s life easier.
