Hi folks, Recently I bumped into an interesting question: using kafka in virtualized environments, such as vmware. I'm not really familiar with virtualization in-depth (how disk virtualization works, what are the OS level supports etc.), therefore I think this is an interesting discussion from Kafka's point. As far as I know Kafka is designed for a non-virtualized environment mainly (although I haven't seen it explicitly anywhere) but thinking of it's hard reliance on disk optimization I always assumed this.
Anyone has experiences with virtualized Kafka? Are you aware of any pain points that people should consider (or performance issues)? Are there any publications on this topic? Regards, Viktor
