Is it possible to deploy Kafka, and other third party software, into EKS (AWS Kubernetes) with a Fargate profile? Are there alternatives?

2/8/2022

I need to deploy in AWS a complex application that uses these components. We already have the application deployed on EC2 nodes, but we were thinking to move them to a Fargate profile (still under Kubernetes):

  • Kafka
  • MySQL
  • Hadoop
  • Impala
  • KafkaConnect
  • Infinispan
  • ActiveMQ

Is it possible to do it? Are there limitations with EKS Fargate that makes this absolutely impossible?

Are there cost advantages in doing this?

Can you suggest cost-effective alternatives?
