Docker Operations

In this section, we provide a closer look at how to run a Confluent Platform cluster on Docker. If you are looking for a simple tutorial, you should refer instead to the quick start guide.

We will cover the following topics:

• Montoring: How to set up monitoring with JMX, as well as recommendations for extending the images to use other monitoring solutions.
• Logging: Using log4j in a Docker setup.
• Networking: Bridge and host networking (including caveats for each)
• Mounting External Volumes: This is important when running Kafka Brokers and ZooKeeper on Docker, as they require a persistent filesystem.
