What to arrange with your platform team, and how to run Event Broker in production. Start with Setup to get a Kafka view and Security for your client settings; read Monitoring and CI/CD and automation as you move toward production.
- Setup: What to request from your platform team for a Kafka view, and a check that Kafka clients and the SDK reach it.
- Security: Client settings for unencrypted, TLS, SASL/PLAIN and mTLS connections to a Kafka view, and the permissions to ask for.
- Monitoring: Kafka reports your platform team can open in VAST Analytics, and how to check consumer lag yourself from a Kafka client.
- CI/CD and automation: Manage Kafka views, topics and blob expansions from a pipeline with the VMS REST API, vastpy, Terraform and the admin MCP server.
