Kafka - Kubernetes and Cloud Deployment

Why does Strimzi use Kubernetes StatefulSets for Kafka brokers instead of Deployments?

ADeployments do not support scaling

BDeployments cannot run Kafka containers

CStatefulSets are easier to configure than Deployments

DStatefulSets provide stable network IDs and persistent storage per broker

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand StatefulSet benefits
StatefulSets give each Kafka broker a stable network identity and persistent storage, essential for Kafka.
Step 2: Evaluate other options
Deployments can run Kafka but lack stable IDs and storage. StatefulSets are not necessarily easier to configure. Deployments support scaling.
Final Answer:
StatefulSets provide stable network IDs and persistent storage per broker -> Option D
Quick Check:
Kafka needs stable IDs/storage = StatefulSets [OK]

Quick Trick: Kafka brokers need stable IDs and storage, so StatefulSets are used [OK]
