Naresh Kumar Vudutha announces the Kafka Cruise Control Frontend:
For those that may be unfamiliar, Cruise Control features include:
1. Kafka broker resource utilization tracking
2. The ability to query the latest replica state (offline, URP, out of sync) from brokers
3. Goal-based resource distribution
4. Anomaly detection with self-healing
5. Admin operations on Kafka (add/remove/demote brokers, rebalance cluster, run PLE)
In this post, we will take a look at the frontend for Cruise Control, which provides a birds-eye view of all the Kafka installations and provides a single place to manage all of them.
That’s a lot of functionality in one tool.
