Elastically Auto Scaling Kafka on Kubernetes with Confluent

What this post added

This post introduces three key features for elastic scaling of self-managed Kafka on Kubernetes: the Kubernetes Operator (available), Tiered Storage (preview), and Self-Balancing Clusters (coming soon). It explains how these features automate broker provisioning, storage scaling, and partition rebalancing, contrasting the manual, non-elastic approach with the automated, elastic approach. The post highlights the synergy between these features for dynamic scaling.
