Debezium on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS by cloudimg

## Debezium on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS by cloudimg

Debezium is the leading open-source Change Data Capture (CDC) platform. It streams row-level changes from your databases into Apache Kafka so you can build event-driven pipelines, cache invalidation, search indexing, audit trails and microservice data synchronisation without polling. This cloudimg image installs Debezium 3.5.2 as a single-node appliance: Apache Kafka 3.9.2 in KRaft mode with Kafka Connect and the Debezium connector plugins, on JDK 17, with the Connect REST API behind nginx Basic auth, Kafka data on a dedicated Azure data disk, and a unique password generated on the first boot of every VM. Backed by 24/7 expert support.

Change Data Capture

Stream row-level database changes (PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB) into Kafka topics. Register a connector by POSTing its JSON config to the Connect REST API, then consume the change events - for event-driven pipelines, cache invalidation, search indexing, audit logs and microservice data sync.

Kafka in KRaft Mode

Apache Kafka 3.9.2 runs as broker plus controller with no separate ZooKeeper, alongside Kafka Connect (connect-distributed) loaded with the Debezium PostgreSQL, MySQL and MongoDB connector plugins. The JVM heaps are tuned to fit the recommended VM size.

Dedicated Data Disk

The Kafka logs and the Connect offset, config and status topics live on a dedicated, independently resizable Azure data disk at /var/lib/debezium, re-provisioned with every VM.

Secure First Boot

The Connect REST API (8083) has no built-in auth, so it is bound to loopback and fronted by nginx on port 80 with HTTP Basic auth and a unique per-VM password generated on first boot, written to a root-only file.
