AMQ Streams now supports Apache Kafka version 2.7.0.

AMQ Streams uses Kafka 2.7.0. Only Kafka distributions built by Red Hat are supported.

For upgrade instructions, see AMQ Streams and Kafka upgrades.

Refer to the Kafka 2.6.0 and Kafka 2.7.0 Release Notes for additional information.

Note

Kafka 2.6.x is supported only for the purpose of upgrading to AMQ Streams 1.7.

For more information on supported versions, see the Red Hat Knowledgebase article Red Hat AMQ 7 Component Details Page.

Kafka 2.7.0 requires the same ZooKeeper version as Kafka 2.6.x (ZooKeeper version 3.5.8). Therefore, you do not need to upgrade ZooKeeper when upgrading from AMQ Streams 1.6 to AMQ Streams 1.7.
