New and Optimized Features
Component-Platform Decoupling
Alauda Streaming Services for Kafka's lifecycle has been decoupled from platform's, which means when customer needs a certain feature or a bug fix, Kafka team can release immediately instead of waiting for the platform release together.
Real-Time Logs on Component Details Page
The logs on Kafka details page have been replaced with real-time logs that update instantly, facilitating troubleshooting and issue analysis.
External Access via LoadBalancer for Kafka
LoadBalancer access is now supported for Kafka. When creating an instance, users can choose to expose services externally through a LoadBalancer-type Service.
Compared to NodePort, LoadBalancer provides better high availability, performance, and supports standard port exposure. It is recommended to use the LoadBalancer method in production environments.
Limitations
When using LoadBalancer, ensure that the cluster has available external address pools. We recommend using MetalLB to create external address pools for the cluster.
