Migrating enterprise Kafka workloads from RHEL to the Ubuntu Platform

A guide for your migration from RHEL

Many organisations are considering moving core server workloads like Apache
Kafka away from Red Hat Enterprise Linux. For those looking for an alternative,
supported Linux distribution, Ubuntu is a compelling choice. This short paper
outlines considerations for migrating from RHEL to Ubuntu.

The Ubuntu platform makes a viable alternative to Red Hat Enterprise Linux
(RHEL) for enterprise Kafka workloads. Kafka deployments can be migrated to
Ubuntu with few-to-minimal adaptations, with support for Kafka on Ubuntu
available from a number of vendors – including Canonical, the publisher of Ubuntu.

This short paper outlines considerations for migrating from RHEL to Ubuntu:

Differences in the base operating system platform and its packaging formats
Systems management
Migration of Kafka workloads to Ubuntu
Continuity of existing operations practices and automation
