Does this skill support Kafka without ZooKeeper?

Yes, it includes specialized modules for Apache Kafka 3.6+ using KRaft mode, which simplifies operations by removing the ZooKeeper dependency.

Is security configured by default in these deployments?

Yes, all modules follow security best practices, including encryption in transit (TLS), network isolation via VPC/Subnets, and SASL/SSL or IAM-based authentication.

How does it help with infrastructure sizing?

The skill provides specific sizing tiers (Small, Medium, Large) with recommended instance types, broker counts, and throughput settings based on your environment needs.

Can I use this for managed AWS services?

Absolutely. It provides a dedicated module for AWS MSK (Managed Streaming for Kafka) that includes IAM authentication, multi-AZ deployment, and auto-scaling support.
