Multi-Cluster Management

Manage Multiple Kafka Resources from One kPow Instance

Multi-cluster does not mean multi-region, install kPow in proximity to your Kafka resources.
One instance of kPow can manage multiple Apache Kafka clusters (and their associated resources).
When configuring multiple clusters, the first configured cluster is your primary cluster.
The primary cluster holds the kPow internal topics. You can switch the primary cluster at any time.
Resources
kPow will manage as many clusters as your license permits - you may have to increase the memory and CPU to ensure that the regular snapshotting process executes within thirty seconds.
Information on snapshotting performance of each cluster is available at 'admin/about'.
Configuration
To configure multiple clusters, simply repeat the connection configuration with _2, _3, _4 suffixes:
# Cluster 1, Vanilla Apache Kafka
​
ENVIRONMENT_NAME=Trade Book (Staging)
BOOTSTRAP=kafka-1:19092,kafka-2:19093,kafka-3:19094
SECURITY_PROTOCOL=SASL_PLAINTEXT
SASL_MECHANISM=PLAIN
SASL_JAAS_CONFIG=org.apache.kafka.common.security.plain.PlainLoginModule required username="admin" password="admin-secret";
​
# Cluster 2, Confluent Cloud + Schema Registry
​
ENVIRONMENT_NAME_2=Outbound Payments (Staging)
BOOTSTRAP_2=pkc-1234.us-east-1.aws.confluent.cloud:9092
SECURITY_PROTOCOL_2=SASL_SSL
SASL_MECHANISM_2=PLAIN
SASL_JAAS_CONFIG_2=org.apache.kafka.common.security.plain.PlainLoginModule required username="..." password="...";
SSL_ENDPOINT_IDENTIFICATION_ALGORITHM_2=https
