Understand and provide the Kafka client configuration for
the required authentication and authorization security. As with all Red Hat performance-based exams, configurations
must persist after reboot without intervention.

operations like joins, aggregations, and windowed joins.
Understand how to define and connect custom processors
and transformers to interact with state stores using the
Processor API.

heterogeneous data systems.
Understand how Kafka Connect facilitates data conversion,
transformation, and offset management.
Apply the detecting and capturing data changes (CDC) with
Debezium.
Understand the different stand-alone/distributed running
modes and their use cases.
Use the pre-built AMQ Streams connectors.

Understand and use advanced event-driven patterns in

applications based on Apache Kafka:
