Features of the managed Kafka cluster service

HiTechCloud's managed Kafka cluster service gives users full administrative control of the Kafka cluster while substantially reducing the work of setting up, operating and scaling it.

Key features of the service include:

Comprehensive Kafka cluster management

Unlike setting up a traditional Kafka cluster, where you have to provision, operate and deploy the cluster yourself, HiTechCloud lets you manage a Kafka cluster end to end directly in the HiTechCloud vDB portal.

With an intuitive, easy-to-use interface, you can freely create, configure, and manage Kafka clusters without needing deep infrastructure expertise. During operation, you can also customize parameters such as broker count, partition size, and retention policy to suit your application's specific needs.

With a few simple steps after signing in, you can:

Provision a Kafka cluster with flexible configuration options.Create, tune and manage Kafka cluster parameters freely to optimize performance. With the Kafka service, your business can focus entirely on application development without having to worry about infrastructure.
Adjust the number of brokers:During operation, administrators can scale the number of brokers up or down and increase broker storage capacity as needed, directly in the HiTechCloud vDB portal, to match data processing requirements.
Edit the configuration:Tune Kafka parameters to optimize performance and reliability. Adjust settings such as the number of brokers, partition size and replica count to optimize read/write throughput and data processing capacity. You can also configure replication and retention policy parameters so that data is not lost and can be recovered when needed.

Once the necessary parameters are set, you can leave HiTechCloud to deploy and operate your Kafka cluster without having to worry about the underlying system. You focus on developing your application and get the benefit of real-time data processing.

Security and access control

HiTechCloud's Kafka cluster service also comes with leading security controls, including data encryption, multi-factor authentication and strict access control, so your data stays protected.

Security:Configure authentication, authorization and encryption parameters to protect data from unauthorized access.
Multiple access methods:The system also has strong authentication (mTLS, SASL) and fine-grained access control.
User management:On the HiTechCloud vDB portal, users can create Kafka users, assign their permissions and delete them as operations require, while keeping the system securely locked down.

Update the certificate:Issue a new certificate where the old one has expired or is inaccessible.
Supports data encryption features:Encryption at rest (volume), Encryption within cluster (brokers to brokers), Encryption in transit (clients to brokers)

Data security is central to business success. HiTechCloud Kafka provides strong security features that help keep your business competitive.
