Kafka Authorization Using ACLs
Kafka provides the ability to exercise granular control over access to objects and operations within the cluster through the use of ACLs. In this hands-on lab, you will have the opportunity to work with ACLs in Kafka by making some changes to an existing cluster in order to provide access to a new user. This will give you a hands-on introduction to the use of ACLs to manage authorization in Kafka.
