Start Kafka service

The following commands will start a container with Kafka and Zookeeper running on mapped ports 2181 (Zookeeper) and 9092 (Kafka).

docker pull spotify/kafka
docker run -d -p 2181:2181 -p 9092:9092 --env ADVERTISED_HOST=kafka --env ADVERTISED_PORT=9092 --name kafka spotify/kafka

Why Spotify?

ADVERTISTED_HOST was set to kafka, which will allow other containers to be able to run Producers and Consumers.

RDS Production Termination Protection

Create a policy like this, substituting your AWS account number, then attach it to all groups and roles. It will prevent deletion of RDS instances containing the string "prod" in their name.

Note: This is intended to prevent accidental deletion, and is easily sidestepped.
