Apache Kafka temporary access & just-in-time permissions: Kpow demo
Standing access to production Kafka clusters is exactly what regulated environments try to avoid, but engineers still need to get in and do the work when there’s a legitimate reason. Chad Harris walks through temporary, time-boxed permissions in Kpow: granting scoped access, like data inspection on one topic or broker edit on one cluster, to a specific role for a set duration, which then expires automatically.
