Create an Azure Virtual Network:

● Log in to the Azure portal and create a virtual network if you don't have
one already. This network will allow communication between the Kafka
cluster nodes.
Deploy Apache Kafka VMs:
● Create virtual machines (VMs) for your Kafka cluster. You can use Azure
Virtual Machines to deploy Ubuntu or any other Linux distribution.
● Ensure that the VMs are deployed in the same virtual network created in
the previous step.
Install Apache Kafka:
● SSH into each VM and install Apache Kafka. You can follow the official
Apache Kafka documentation for installation instructions.
● Typically, this involves downloading the Kafka binaries, extracting them,
and configuring the Kafka broker properties.
Configure Apache ZooKeeper:
● Kafka requires Apache ZooKeeper for coordination among cluster nodes.
Install and configure ZooKeeper on one of the VMs in your cluster.
● Update the Kafka configuration (server.properties) to point to the
ZooKeeper instance.
Configure Kafka Broker:
● Update the Kafka broker configuration (server.properties) on each VM
to configure properties such as broker ID, listeners, advertised listeners,
log directories, etc.
● Ensure that each broker's configuration is consistent and reflects the
cluster topology.
Start Kafka and ZooKeeper Services:
● Start the ZooKeeper service on the designated ZooKeeper node.
● Start the Kafka broker services on each Kafka node.
Configure Network Security:
● Set up network security rules to allow traffic between Kafka brokers and
clients within the Azure virtual network.
● You may need to configure network security groups (NSGs) and Azure
Firewall rules to permit Kafka traffic.
Test Kafka Connectivity:
● Verify connectivity to Kafka from within the virtual network.
● Use Kafka command-line tools or client libraries to produce and consume
messages to ensure that Kafka is functioning correctly.
Scale and Monitor:
● Depending on your workload requirements, you may need to scale your
Kafka cluster by adding or removing broker nodes.
● Implement monitoring and alerting using Azure Monitor or third-party tools
to track Kafka cluster health and performance.
Backup and Disaster Recovery (Optional):
● Implement backup and disaster recovery strategies for Kafka data to
ensure data resilience and availability.
● Azure provides services like Azure Backup and Azure Site Recovery that
can be leveraged for Kafka backup and disaster recovery.
