Hi, I am currently testing a custom docker volume driver plugin for AWS EFS/EBS access and mounting. So, running kafka broker inside a container makes will ease up a lot of configuration issues wrt storage for me.
Are there any pros and cons of dockerizing kafka broker? Off the top of my head, since kafka forms the base of our setup, I can think of making is use the host networking stack, and increase ulimits for the container. I would like to know if and when kafka becomes greedy and cannibalizes resources; I can also ensure that it runs on a dedicated machine. Thanks. Best, Krish
