Confluent Platform and Apache Kafka compatibility¶
The following table lists Kafka and Confluent Platform compatibility.
Important
Change Notice: Effective with Confluent Platform 8.0, Confluent Platform, Community version transitioned to follow the Kafka release cycle more closely. The Kafka community provides about one year of patch support for a Kafka version, from the minor version release date, and Confluent Community software follows a similar support schedule. Confluent customers using a Confluent Enterprise license will continue to receive patch updates for up to three years following minor version release.
| Confluent Platform | Apache Kafka® | Release Date | Confluent Community software End of Support | Confluent Enterprise Standard End of Support | Confluent Enterprise Platinum End of Support |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 8.0.x | 4.0.x | June 11, 2025 | June 11, 2026 | June 11, 2027 | June 11, 2028 |
| 7.9.x | 3.9.x | February 19, 2025 | February 19, 2027 | February 19, 2027 | February 19, 2028 |
| 7.8.x | 3.8.x | December 2, 2024 | December 2, 2026 | December 2, 2026 | December 2, 2027 |
| 7.7.x | 3.7.x | July 26, 2024 | July 26, 2026 | July 26, 2026 | July 26, 2027 |
| 7.6.x | 3.6.x | February 9, 2024 | February 9, 2026 | February 9, 2026 | February 9, 2027 |
| 7.5.x | 3.5.x | August 25, 2023 | August 25, 2025 | August 25, 2025 | August 25, 2026 |
| 7.4.x | 3.4.x | May 3, 2023 | May 3, 2025 | May 3, 2025 | May 3, 2026 |
| 7.3.x | 3.3.x | November 4, 2022 | November 4, 2024 | November 4, 2024 | November 4, 2025 |
| 7.2.x | 3.2.x | July 6, 2022 | July 6, 2024 | July 6, 2024 | July 6, 2025 |
Note the following about Confluent Platform versions and support levels:
Standard support means any support level below Platinum support. For example, if you have Gold support, you have Standard support. The two year support policy is standard for commerical components. End of support is extended one year for Platinum support agreements.
The end of support date applies to minor versions and any maintenance versions that come after the minor version. This means that maintenance versions follow the same two year lifecycle of the minor version. For example, standard support for Confluent Platform 7.4.x ends on May 3, 2025.
Platinum tier support is not offered for Confluent for Kubernetes (CFK).
Starting with CFK 2.9, the standard support policy of CFK is for 2 years from the first patch release (
.0) date.You can apply your Confluent Platform Platinum tier support contract to the Confluent Platform components deployed by CFK when both of the following conditions are true:
- You are on a currently supported version of CFK.
- The Confluent Platform version you want to use is compatible with a currently supported version of CFK.
For the CFK-specific support policy and supportability between CFK and Confluent Platform versions, see Supported versions of Confluent Platform and CFK.
Each version of Confluent Platform includes several component services which are only compatible in that specific Confluent Platform version. There are exceptions, including clients and Confluent Control Center, which can be used across versions. All services included in Confluent Platform are supported by Confluent.
Preview releases¶
Preview features are not “Supported Software” under Confluent’s support policies and features designated with “preview” status in this documentation are not intended for production use. Preview features should only be used for evaluation and non-production testing purposes or to provide feedback to Confluent.
Confluent encourages customers to submit questions and suggestions about preview features using the Confluent Support Portal.
Additionally, Confluent may make changes to preview user experience and APIs before they are released for production use.
Operating systems¶
Confluent Platform and clients support these operating systems.
It is recommended that you run Confluent Platform across uniform OS, Confluent Platform, and Java versions.
Confluent Platform supports both X86 and ARM64 hardware architecture. ARM64 is supported in Confluent Platform 7.6.0 and later. For more information on required hardware, see Hardware.

Footnotes
| [1] | (1, 2) Support for these operating systems has been removed in Confluent Platform 7.8.x because they have reached their end of life. Support for these OSs will be removed for all versions of Confluent Platform after the 7.8.x release. You should not use these OSs in a production deployment. |
| [2] | (1, 2) Java 11, 17 and 21 are supported. Java 8 is not supported on this operating system. |
| [3] | Confluent Platform 7.7.x and later versions no longer support these operating systems because they have reached their end of life. Do not use these operating systems in a production deployment. |
Additional notes about OS support:
- SELinux
Confluent Platform is supported on AlmaLinux, Amazon Linux, Debian, RHEL, CentOS, Debian, Rocky Linux, and Ubuntu Operating Systems.
Confluent is not accountable for Security-Enhanced Linux (SELinux) policy development, support, or enforcement. If you experience issues running Confluent Platform with SELinux enabled on a supported Linux Operating System, contact your OS provider for assistance.
- Windows
- Windows is not currently supported for Confluent Platform. Windows 8.1 and later and Windows 2016 and later are supported by the C/C++ and .NET clients.
- macOS
- macOS 10.14 and later is supported for testing and development purposes only.
- File descriptors
- For the file descriptor requirement for Kafka, see File Descriptors and mmap.
- ulimit
- Control Center requires many open RocksDB files. Set the
ulimitfor the number of open files to a minimum value of 16384 using theulimit -ncommand. For the other Confluent Platform components, specifically Schema Registry and Replicator, you can leave theulimitas the OS default. - RHEL with TLS
When you install Confluent Platform on RHEL8 with TLS encryption, you must add DH Key Size JVM Parameters for each component. For more information, see Strong crypto defaults in RHEL 8 and deprecation of weak crypto algorithms.
Set the following component-level environment variables to the argument:
- Schema Registry:
SCHEMA_REGISTRY_OPTS=-Djdk.tls.ephemeralDHKeySize=2048 - Kafka and Connect:
KAFKA_OPTS=-Djdk.tls.ephemeralDHKeySize=2048 - REST Proxy:
KAFKAREST_OPTS=-Djdk.tls.ephemeralDHKeySize=2048 - ksqlDB:
KSQL_OPTS=-Djdk.tls.ephemeralDHKeySize=2048
- Schema Registry:
- atime
The
atimemount option impacts performance, because every read operation on a file system causes a write operation.Confluent recommends disabling the tracking of
atimeby setting thenoatimeoption when you mount Kafka data disks.
Java¶
You need to separately install the correct version of Java before you start the Confluent Platform installation process.
The following table lists Java support in Confluent Platform by version. Note the following:
- Java 8 was deprecated in Confluent Platform version 7.4.x and has been removed in a Confluent Platform 8.0.
- Java 11 is now only supported for Kafka Streams and Kafka clients in Confluent Platform 8.0.x.
- Ubuntu 22.04 and 24.04 operating systems support Java versions 21, 17 and 11, but do not support Java 8 in Confluent Platform 7.8.x or later.
- The current Docker image supports Java 21. For more information, see Docker.
- Eclipse Temurin (formerly known as AdoptOpenJDK), OpenJDK, Zulu OpenJDK, and Oracle are supported with Confluent Platform.
- You should use the full JDK to help Confluent Support with troubleshooting and to provide better support if you experience issues with Confluent Platform.
| Confluent Platform | Recommended | Supported |

VMWare¶
When you run Confluent Platform on VMWare, note the following:
- You should enable compression to help mitigate the performance impacts while maintaining business continuity.
- You should disable vMotion and disk snapshotting for Confluent Platform as the features could cause a full cluster outage when used with Kafka.
Confluent supports customers who choose to run Confluent Platform on VMWare VMotion. However, the scope of support will be limited to questions and fixes which are related to Confluent Platform itself and not troubleshooting or debugging VMotion (which is outside the scope of Confluent Support). For more information, see Running Confluent Platform on VMWare VMotion (requires sign in) on the Confluent Support portal and VMware optimization.
