Preparations
Last updated: 2025-08-13 14:34:30
This article introduces the preparations before getting started with CKafka, including signing up, obtaining permissions, and preparing VPC resources.
Operation Steps
1. Register a Tencent Cloud account and verify identity.
Before creating a CKafka cluster, sign up for a Tencent Cloud account and complete real-name authentication. For specific steps, refer to Register a Tencent Cloud account and Introduction to real-name authentication.
If you already have a Tencent Cloud account and completed real-name authentication, please skip this step.
2. Recharge your account.
Before creating a CKafka cluster, ensure your account has sufficient amount to pay for the cluster purchase. For specific steps on account recharge, refer to online recharge.
If your account has sufficient amount, please skip this step.
3. Configure operation permissions for CKafka in your account.
If you use a Tencent Cloud sub-account, refer to Permission Management Overview to grant the sub-account operation permissions for the CKafka cluster.
If you use a Tencent Cloud root account, you have operation permissions for all resources by default and can skip this step.
4. Create a VPC and subnet.
Before creating a CKafka cluster, please ensure an available VPC and subnet already exist. For specific steps to create a VPC and subnet, see Create VPC and Subnet. The created VPC and CKafka cluster must be in the same region, as the private networks of cloud products in different regions are not interconnected.
If you already have a suitable VPC and subnet, skip this step.
5. Set up the environment.
VPC
Prepare a Linux server: This document uses Tencent Cloud Virtual Machine (CVM) as an example. For specific steps to create a CVM, see Purchase Cloud Virtual Machine (CVM). Please ensure the CVM and CKafka cluster are in the same VPC. If you have an existing CVM, skip this step.
Set up environment: Log in to the CVM and install Java JDK version 1.8 or later and Maven version 2.5 or later.
public network environment
Can be executed locally. Install Java JDK version 1.8 or later and Maven version 2.5 or later in advance.
