CCAAK · Question #87
You are setting up a new Kafka cluster using KRaft mode. You need to start up the Kafka cluster in the correct order to avoid startup issues. Which sequence should you use to start these components?
The correct answer is B. Start the Kafka Controllers first, then the Kafka Brokers. In KRaft mode, controllers manage metadata and must be available before brokers start so that brokers can register, receive metadata, and join the cluster properly.
