Chapter 3. Technology Previews

Important

Technology Preview features are not supported with Red Hat production service-level agreements (SLAs) and might not be functionally complete; therefore, Red Hat does not recommend implementing any Technology Preview features in production environments. This Technology Preview feature provides early access to upcoming product innovations, enabling you to test functionality and provide feedback during the development process. For more information about support scope, see Technology Preview Features Support Scope.

3.1. New feature gates

Previews of the UseKRaft and UseStrimziPodSets feature gates are now available.

See Chapter 1, Features.

3.2. Kafka Static Quota plugin configuration

Use the Kafka Static Quota plugin to set throughput and storage limits on brokers in your Kafka cluster. You enable the plugin and set limits by configuring the Kafka resource. You can set a byte-rate threshold and storage quotas to put limits on the clients interacting with your brokers.

Example Kafka Static Quota plugin configuration

apiVersion: kafka.strimzi.io/v1beta2
kind: Kafka
metadata:
  name: my-cluster
spec:
  kafka:
    # ...
    config:
      client.quota.callback.class: io.strimzi.kafka.quotas.StaticQuotaCallback
      client.quota.callback.static.produce: 1000000
      client.quota.callback.static.fetch: 1000000
      client.quota.callback.static.storage.soft: 400000000000
      client.quota.callback.static.storage.hard: 500000000000
      client.quota.callback.static.storage.check-interval: 5
