Project Lightning Talk: Strimzi – What's New and What's Next
Lightningat KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe 2025 · on Tuesday, 2025-04-01· at 15:46· Platinum Suite | Level 3·
summary
Strimzi is an operator for running Apache Kafka on Kubernetes that automates install, upgrades, cert management, scaling and monitoring and integrates Cruise Control for rebalancing. The project removes Zookeeper: 0.45 is the last Zookeeper-supported release and 0.46 is KRaft-only, so existing Zookeeper clusters must migrate before upgrading. Deprecated components like MirrorMaker 1 are being removed. Work in progress includes improved certificate management, self-healing Cruise Control, multi-cluster stretching and an optional gateway.
