Charmed Apache Kafka documentation

Charmed Apache Kafka is an open-source operator that makes it easier to manage Apache Kafka, with built-in support for enterprise features.

Apache Kafka is a free, open-source software project by the Apache Software Foundation. Users can find out more at the Apache Kafka project page.

Charmed Apache Kafka is built on top of Juju and reliably simplifies the deployment, scaling, design, and management of Apache Kafka in production. Additionally, you can use the charm to manage your Apache Kafka clusters with automation capabilities. It also offers replication, TLS, password rotation, easy-to-use application integration, and monitoring. Charmed Apache Kafka operates Apache Kafka on physical systems, Virtual Machines (VM), and a wide range of cloud and cloud-like environments, including AWS, Azure, OpenStack, and VMware.

Charmed Apache Kafka is a solution designed and developed to help ops teams and administrators automate Apache Kafka operations from Day 0 to Day 2, across multiple cloud environments and platforms.

Canonical has also developed the Charmed Apache Kafka K8s operator to support Apache Kafka in Kubernetes environments.

Charmed Apache Kafka is developed and supported by Canonical, as part of its commitment to provide open-source, self-driving solutions, seamlessly integrated using the Operator Framework Juju. Please refer to Charmhub, for more charmed operators that can be integrated by Juju.
