Hi, We are architecting an application in AWS with multi region deployment and were evaluating kafka as the messaging system for data replication and activity tracking.
The initial idea is to have the producer and broker cluster to reside in Ireland. We wanted to know the feasibility of having a remote consumer in Singapore. Found a link to improve throughput for a remote consumer - http://bit.ly/1cp7T6Z #) Has anybody done something similar - if so, could you please shed some light on how latency will play and some of the best practices that could be done. #) What would be a good way to secure the communication if it is happening over the internet. We were thinking about SSL tunnel (using OpenVPN) as described in http://aws.amazon.com/articles/0639686206802544. Thoughts? -- BR Muhsin
