As the year winds down, the team behind CloudKarafka want to take the opportunity to recap this successful year. During the past year, we have worked hard to meet our customers' wishes, and we are continually working to improve and simplify the use of CloudKarafka.
New features 2017
In this list you’ll find a selection of great features, upgrades, and expansions, which was added during the past year:- Heroku add-on: CloudKarafka was made available as an add-on on Heroku.
- Apache Kafka log integrations: We added the ability to ship your Apache Kafka logs from CloudKarafka dedicated instances to Papertrail, Splunk, Loggly and Logentries, which makes it easy to centralize, search and monitor your log data from any environment.
- CloudKarafka on Google Cloud Platform: We announced the second cloud service provider for CloudKarafka, Google Cloud Platform. You can now take advantage of Googles secure, global and high-performance compute engine virtual machines and state-of-the-art networking.
- Improved cluster scaling: We improved the cluster scaling so that all dedicated clusters can be scaled with additional nodes if needed. CloudKarafka clusters may now have one, three, five or seven nodes.
- Authentication via SASL/SCRAM: We also made it possible to authenticate with SASL using SCRAM mechanism. This hopefully made it easy for you to connect in an easy and secure way.
- Manage team permissions: Many users have requested a way to split up permissions between team members. Permission-based ACL rules for the team is just released. This new feature makes it possible to set different permissions for different users. One user might only be allowed to edit billing information while someone else is allowed to create and delete clusters.
