Apache Kafka, One KRaft Node Proven By A Round Trip

Apache Kafka 4 (SHA-512 pinned) on Java 21, one KRaft node on EL 10 from the upstream release, as a hardened systemd service on loopback; the live test creates a topic, produces one message, consumes it back and reads the metadata quorum; the metadata log is formatted once as the service user and the root-owned release tree is run in place. Original role, live-tested on Rocky Linux 10.

Provider drift

This artifact declares no Terraform provider requirements, so there is nothing to drift. Provider freshness applies to Terraform and OpenTofu modules.

What depends on this

No reference architecture names this module, so changing it affects only configurations that reference it directly.

Nearest alternatives

Same cloud, same category. These are what you would weigh against it without changing provider.

The same job on other clouds

This module has no cross-cloud peer set in the catalogue, so there is no portability comparison to draw.

Installing it

module "ansible_kafka" {
  source  = "www.iac-bazaar.com/iac-bazaar/ansible-kafka/any"
  version = "1.0.0"
