In this video, I install and prepare Apache Kafka on a Linux (Ubuntu) virtual machine as part of a real-world infrastructure observability project.
Kafka is used here as a backbone for collecting and processing infrastructure and network-related data, not just as a standalone messaging system.
This video focuses only on:
Kafka installation and basic setup on Linux
Required system preparation
Key considerations before using Kafka in monitoring and log pipelines
Target audience:
DevOps Engineers
Infrastructure & Network Engineers
NOC / SOC teams
System Administrators
This is part of a practical series focused on building reliable monitoring and observability pipelines using Linux-based systems.
