> While longer-term goals of security in Kafka are on the roadmap there exists
> some value for the ability to restrict connection to Kafka brokers based on
> IP address. This is not intended as a replacement for security but more of a
> precaution against misconfiguration and to provide some level of control to
> Kafka administrators about who is reading/writing to their cluster.
> 1) In some organizations software administration vs o/s systems
> administration and network administration is disjointed and not well
> choreographed. Providing software administrators the ability to configure
> their platform relatively independently (after initial configuration) from
> Systems administrators is desirable.
> 2) Configuration and deployment is sometimes error prone and there are
> situations when test environments could erroneously read/write to production
> environments
> 3) An additional precaution against reading sensitive data is typically
> welcomed in most large enterprise deployments.
