Apache Kafka with CMAK on Oracle Linux 8.4

Apache Kafka data streaming is used by over 80% of Fortune 100 companies including Goldman Sachs, Target, and Intuit for mission critical applications.  Kafka is built with a client server architecture that handles event producers, processors, connectors, and consumers for scaling without downtime. A high throughput capability manages large data flux in real time. It publishes and subscribes to event streams while continuously importing and exporting data from other systems.  

Kafka’s reliability is ensured by its distributed structure. Each data partition is replicated for durability and reliability. Clusters have fault tolerance against database and server failure. The Cluster Manager for Apache Kafka (CMAK) monitors clusters and service performance. 

Oracle Linux Server 8.4 is the most comprehensive Linux environment to date. It provides virtualization, management, automation, and cloud native computing tools. It modernizes, optimizes, and secures hybrid and multicloud infrastructures. Applications can run on-premises, in Oracle Cloud, and in other clouds. Specially designed for Hybrid Cloud, Linux includes the latest open standards virtualization and cloud native tools.

Apache Kafka with CMAK on Oracle Linux 8.4 streams generate real time information for transactions, shipping, logistics, and sensor data from apps on IoT (Internet of Things) devices and databases. Information is continuously collected, processed, stored, and analyzed, but users can retrospectively manipulate data. Apache deploys microservices and distributes apps to scale streams in parallel. Its scalable client server architecture features a pull-based design with batch processing to prevent user-end overload. A scalable replication election algorithm decouples producers and consumers to transfer and store data. Event streams redirect to multiple locations as desired. Apache streams persist through network and hardware outages. 

Cluster Manager for Apache Kafka monitors and controls how multiple clusters function. Partitioning and replicating stream data into distributed clusters guarantees minimal latency, high fault tolerance, and zero message loss for on premise and cloud deployments. CMAK enables users to create partition assignments and reassignments. Kafka Connect adds connectors to event sources like PostGres, JMS, Elasticsearch, and Amazon Web Services (AWS) which are managed by REST API. Custom connectors are also supported. Apache Kafka supports a multitude of common client libraries such as C, C++ Go, Java, Scala, .NET, and Python. Security uses SSL and SASL mechanisms for traffic encryption and authentication. 

Oracle Linux Server 8.4 supports virtualization and containers in one image to get the most of your enterprise OS. This makes it popular among IT and enterprise users. Oracle Linux Server 8.4 is also ideal for DevSecOps who wish to minimize hostile vehicle mitigation (HVM). Installation is minimal and provides flexible scalability from nano instances to larger fleets for compatibility with your needs. 

Oracle Linux 8.4 offers flexible support options to match your enterprise’s needs. Its offerings include Embedded Linux, Linux in the cloud, and on-premises. Embedded Linux is most cost-effective by embedding feature-rich Linux distros. Linux in the cloud offers Oracle Linux Premier Support, free of charge. Linux on-premises is the best Linux OS for comprehensive and open distributions.
