Find out how to create a Kafka cluster

Objective

Apache Kafka is an open-source, distributed event streaming platform designed for real-time, large-scale data processing with high scalability, durability, and low latency.

This guide explains how to create a Kafka cluster via the OVHcloud Console.

Requirements


OVHcloud Console Access

  • Direct link:
  • Navigation path: Public Cloud > Select your project > Analytics

Instructions

Subscribing to the service

In the left-hand menu of your Public Cloud project, click Kafka under Analytics, then click Create a service. The Create a Kafka service page opens.

Selecting your Analytics service

Under Database engine, select Kafka and its Version.

A random name is generated for your service in the Name field. You can change it at this step or later.

Selecting a region

Under Select a region, choose the geographical region of the datacentre where your service will be hosted, and the deployment mode (1-AZ or 3-AZ).

Selecting a plan

See the Kafka capabilities page for detailed information on each plan's properties.

Under Plan, choose an appropriate service plan. If needed, you can upgrade or downgrade the plan after creation.

Visit the capabilities page of your selected Analytics service for detailed information on each plan's properties.

Selecting the node type

Under Node type, choose the instance type for the nodes of your service. You can change it afterward. The number of nodes (Nodes) depends on the plan previously chosen.

Selecting the storage

Under Storage, select the additional storage. Storage can be scaled up to 3 times the base storage.

Configuring the network and IP restrictions

Under Network, choose Public network or Private network (vRack). Under IP restrictions, add the IP addresses that will access your service (Add an IP, Add my current IP).

Reviewing and confirming

The Summary helps you review your service configuration. The components of the price are also summarized with a monthly estimation.

Click the API and Terraform equivalent button to display the equivalent API call and Terraform configuration. Use this information to automate service creation with the OVHcloud API or the OVHcloud Terraform Provider.

When you are ready, click the Create the database button to create your service.

In a matter of minutes, your new Kafka service will be deployed. Its status changes to Active when it is ready to use.
