Optional: Cluster Setup

There are two options for consuming the content in this course:

Option 1: Request access to a tenant in the StreamNative Academy training cluster by emailing training-help@streamnative.io. We typically provide access in one business day. You will be provided an OAuth2 Key and JWT Token or API Key, with all cluster permissions preconfigured for you. Access to the cluster is provided for one week. We request that you do not use this option to test your own Kafka code.

Option 2: Spin up your own StreamNative Hosted Pulsar cluster by visiting streamnative.io. A $200 credit is available for testing. You can then test your own Kafka code against the cluster, following the tutorial directions on how to edit your existing Kafka code to connect using a JWT Token or OAuth2 Key. We have included directions in the tutorial for creating the cluster, setting up a service account, tenants and namespaces, and required permissions in your cluster. Sample code is available for download in the tutorial.

The following lessons are to assist with setting up your cluster for Option 2.
