Our Verdict

Apache Kafka Series - Kafka Cluster Setup & Administration offers a solid foundation in manual cluster deployment along with key administration tasks. However, consider the slightly dated material and the lack of focus on new tools or Kafka versions when making your decision. It would be beneficial to have an updated version that includes information on AWS MSK, Prometheus/Grafana setup, and real-world use cases for Kafka solutions.

What We Liked

Comprehensive coverage of ZooKeeper Quorum Setup, Kafka Cluster Setup, and administration in AWS
Hands-on practical approach with real-world relevance
Detailed explanation of production settings and optimizations
Instructor's expertise and wisdom in Kafka cluster administration

Potential Drawbacks

Some course materials are slightly outdated, especially with regard to tools that have become less relevant
Setup description could be improved for better pacing and more common modern tools like Docker
Lacks focus on newer Kafka versions (post 0.10) and KRaft-mode without Zookeeper
Minimal coverage of AWS MSK, real-time use cases, and other deployment types
