Running Kafka in production means monitoring it properly and mastering day-two operations. This 5-hour admin-track course covers both: metrics and dashboards with Prometheus and Grafana, the operations you'll actually perform, and a safe rolling cluster upgrade done hands-on.
It's the course for the moment Kafka becomes your responsibility.
What are the prerequisites?
Good knowledge of Apache Kafka fundamentals and ideally the Cluster Setup course.
In which order should I take the Apache Kafka courses?
Start with Kafka for Beginners. Then follow the developer track (Kafka Streams, Kafka Connect, Confluent Schema Registry, KSQL) if you build applications, or the admin track (Cluster Setup, Monitoring & Operations, Security) if you operate clusters. Both tracks together are the recommended preparation for the Confluent certifications.
