By default, what do Kafka broker network connections have?

  1. No encryption, no authentication and no authorization
  2. Encryption, but no authentication or authorization
  3. No encryption, no authorization, but have authentication
  4. Encryption and authentication, but no authorization

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

By default, Kafka brokers use the PLAINTEXT protocol for network communication. This means:

No encryption ­ data is sent in plain text.
No authentication ­ any client can connect without verifying identity. No authorization ­ there are no access control checks by default.

Security features like TLS, SASL, and ACLs must be explicitly configured.

  1. connect-confiqs
  2. connect-distributed
  3. connect-status
  4. connect-standalone
  5. connect-offsets

Answer(s): A,C,E

Explanation:

connect-configs stores connector configurations.
connect-status tracks the status of connectors and tasks (e.g., RUNNING, FAILED). connect-offsets stores source connector offsets for reading from external systems.



You are using Confluent Schema Registry to provide a RESTful interface for storing and retrieving schemas.
Which types of schemas are supported? (Choose three.)

  1. Avro
  2. gRPC
  3. JSON
  4. Thrift
  5. Protobuf

Answer(s): A,C,E

Explanation:

Avro is the original and most commonly used schema format supported by Schema Registry. Confluent Schema Registry supports JSON Schema for validation and compatibility checks. Protocol Buffers (Protobuf) are supported for schema management in Schema Registry.



Multiple clients are sharing a Kafka cluster.
As an administrator, how would you ensure that Kafka resources are distributed fairly to all clients?

  1. Quotas
  2. Consumer Groups
  3. Rebalancing
  4. ACLs

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

Kafka quotas allow administrators to control and limit the rate of data production and consumption per client (producer/consumer), ensuring fair use of broker resources among multiple clients.



A customer has a use case for a ksqlDB persistent query. You need to make sure that duplicate messages are not processed and messages are not skipped.
Which property should you use?

  1. processing.guarantee=exactly_once
  2. ksql.streams auto offset.reset=earliest
  3. ksql.streams auto.offset.reset=latest
  4. ksql.fail.on.production.error=false

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

processing.guarantee=exactly_once ensures that messages are processed exactly once by ksqlDB, preventing both duplicates and message loss.
