Installing Kafka Broker on RedHat

Requirements

To use this role, you need to create an inventory file, or you can use the host_example.yml file from this repository. Make sure to include the groups zookeeper and kafka_broker, with each host assigned to the correct group.

Apache Kafka requires a ZooKeeper cluster. This role depends on ZooKeeper and Java roles. Don’t worry about these dependencies; when you download this role, all required dependencies will be downloaded automatically. Use the command below to download:

ansible-galaxy install alvarobacelar.ansible_role_kafka

Role Variables

This role has many variables that are available in the main.yml file in the defaults directory. If you want to change the properties of the Kafka broker, create a variables file for your playbook and set all the key values for your broker configuration.

Example Playbook

The playbook for this role should look like this:

- hosts: kafkabroker
  become: true
  roles:
    - kafka
