Overview
Kroxylicious is an open source proxy that sits between Kafka clients and Kafka brokers and understands the Kafka protocol itself. Because it speaks the protocol rather than merely forwarding bytes, it can apply encryption, multi tenancy, filtering and policy enforcement centrally, without changing a single client application.
Why the cloudimg image
cloudimg delivers Kroxylicious fully patched and preconfigured with a backing Kafka broker, so the proxy is genuinely usable the moment it boots. Client facing SASL authentication is on by default, every credential is generated per VM at first boot rather than shipped in the image, the backing broker is reachable only through the proxy, and the image is backed by 24/7 support and a paired deployment guide.
Common uses
- Centralised Kafka policy enforcement
- Multi tenant Kafka platforms
- Adding encryption without client changes
