An unsecured Kafka cluster is an open door, and this 4-hour admin-track course closes it: SSL encryption in transit, authentication with SSL and SASL Kerberos, and authorization with ACLs, all configured hands-on.
By the end, your cluster meets enterprise security requirements, and you understand every layer you configured.
What are the prerequisites?
Good knowledge of Apache Kafka fundamentals and comfort with Linux; the Cluster Setup course is a great companion.
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.
