Features of Kafka Cluster Managed Service

VNG Cloud's Kafka cluster Managed Service allows users to manage Kafka clusters at the highest level while significantly reducing the tasks of setting up, operating, and scaling the system.

Notable features of the service include:

Comprehensive Kafka Cluster Management

Unlike the traditional approach of setting up a Kafka cluster where you need to manage, operate, and deploy the cluster infrastructure yourself, VNG Cloud allows you to fully manage Kafka clusters directly through the VNG Cloud vDB portal. 

With an intuitive and user-friendly interface, you can freely create, configure, and manage Kafka clusters without requiring deep knowledge of the underlying infrastructure. During operation, you can also customize parameters such as the number of brokers, partition sizes, and retention policies to suit the specific needs of your application.

With just a few simple login steps, you can easily:

• Create Kafka clusters with flexible configuration options: Freely create, adjust, and manage cluster parameters to optimize performance. With the Kafka service, businesses can fully focus on application development without worrying about infrastructure.
• Adjust the number of brokers: During operation, administrators can proactively increase or decrease the number of brokers and expand storage capacity for the brokers when needed, directly through the VNG Cloud vDB portal, to meet data processing demands.
• Modify configurations: Customize Kafka parameters to optimize performance and reliability. Adjust parameters such as the number of brokers, partition sizes, and the number of replicas to optimize read/write speeds and data handling capacity. You can also configure parameters related to replication and retention policies to ensure that data is not lost and can be recovered when needed.

Once the necessary settings are configured, you can rest assured that VNG Cloud will deploy and operate the Kafka cluster for you, allowing you to focus solely on application development while enjoying the benefits of real-time data processing.

Security and Access Control

Additionally, VNG Cloud’s Kafka cluster service is equipped with leading security solutions, including data encryption, multi-factor authentication, and strict access control, ensuring your data is always securely protected.

• Security: Configure parameters related to authentication, authorization, and encryption to protect data from unauthorized access.
• Diverse access methods: The system is also equipped with strong authentication mechanisms (mTLS, SASL) and sophisticated access controls.

• User management: On the VNG Cloud vDB portal, users can create, assign roles, and delete Kafka users as needed, while ensuring strong security for the system.

  

• Certificate updates: Generate new certificates in case the old ones expire or become inaccessible.
• Support for data encryption features:
  • Encryption at rest (volume)
  • Encryption within the cluster (brokers to brokers)
  • Encryption in transit (clients to brokers)

Data security is a core factor in business success. VNG Cloud Kafka provides top-notch security features, helping your business stay ahead in the competitive landscape.
