Confluent Platform includes RPM and Debian packages: http://www.confluent.io/download We tag them a bit differently due to different release schedules, but the CP builds are entirely open source and effectively map directly to Apache releases. Check out http://docs.confluent.io/3.0.0/installation.html for installation instructions. We even open source the packaging bits: https://github.com/confluentinc/kafka-packaging
