[Verse 1] Two clusters spinning in the cloud tonight EKS or RKE2, architect's delight Multi-zone deployment, namespaces align Control planes separated by design Kubectl contexts switching left and right Infrastructure as code taking flight [Chorus] Strimzi Kafka in KRaft mode Cross-cluster data on the road MM2 replication streams STIG compliance, security dreams FIPS enabled, benchmarks show TLS performance, watch it flow [Verse 2] Custom resource definitions bloom Kafka operators fill the room ZooKeeper's gone, KRaft takes the wheel Metadata logs make quorum real Bootstrap servers, brokers dance Topic partitions in advance [Chorus] Strimzi Kafka in KRaft mode Cross-cluster data on the road MM2 replication streams STIG compliance, security dreams FIPS enabled, benchmarks show TLS performance, watch it flow [Verse 3] MirrorMaker Two connects the divide Source and target, side by side Connector configs, JSON precise Offset translation, data splice Heartbeat topics keep the beat Replication lag stays discrete [Bridge] STIG findings documented clean Deviations noted in between Pod security standards tight Network policies done right FIPS one-forty cryptographic gold Throughput metrics brave and bold [Chorus] Strimzi Kafka in KRaft mode Cross-cluster data on the road MM2 replication streams STIG compliance, security dreams FIPS enabled, benchmarks show TLS performance, watch it flow [Outro] Weeks four through six, hands-on mastery Defense infrastructure, victory Clusters humming, data secure Enterprise patterns, battle-sure
