We would like to know if our Pega Platform deployment in AKS can go for SASL using JAAS mechanism for authenticating to external Kafka service (Azure HDInsight) for different deployment scenarios

Here are the different AKS-HDInsight deployment topologies that currently exists in our Organization

  • 1:1 AKS: HDInsight---->Individual AKS Cluster connecting to individual HdInsight service deployment
  • Shared HDInsight----->Separate AKS Clusters hosting different apps and connecting to a single HDInsight
  • Shared AKS cluster and shared HInsight ----->A single AKS cluster hosting multiple apps and sharing same HDInsight

To rephrase the question again , will Pega support SASL using JAAS mechanism for authentication for above scenarios ?
