Hey list, I would like to use Kafka as an ingest point for sensitive data in a large production network. We would like to set it up in such a way that anyone that wants can publish data through the brokers, but we want to restrict access for consumers to just a small subset of machines.
I'm sure there are other solutions which might be better, so please let me know if there is a way to do this, but one way I was considering is allowing consumers to connect to one port, and producers to connect to another, and doing the IP based access control with firewalls. Thanks, Rick
