Hi Dan,
Thanks for the reply. It's not many publishers right now, but it should
become many publishers. Message size is pretty small, but we use batch
writing. Based on architecture, Kafka relies on seq read/write, but still
SSD might be a cost effective option in the case of too many publishers?
In Azure we recommend using managed disks for Kafka. HD Insight Kafka uses
them. I generally see SSD for Kafka, but I guess part of that could depend on
if you write larger writes from fewer publishers or small writes from many
publishers. What does your workload look like?
Kind Regards,
-Dan
