I recently undertook the migration of an on-premise Cloudera Kafka cluster to a Confluent Cloud dedicated cluster. I would like to share some of our experience on how we migrated Accounts and Permissions to Confluent Cloud. Even though they are both Kafka clusters, their implementation of access management is quite different and an as-is migration was impossible.
It was September of 1999 when Jason Livie, Marco Ponton, Martin Bertrand, and Philippe Tremblay created Quadra Knowledge as a highly-skilled UNIX consulting team. (By the way, if you did not know, the “Quadra” in our name comes from the “four” founders.) We were originally pretty much dedicated to the IBM ecosystem at the time. We had top-notch AIX skills which made us an ideal IBM pSeries partner involved in high end and robust solution implementations for clients in both Canada and France.
