IBM Cloud Pak for Integration (CP4I) includes Confluent Platform as a key capability to support event-driven architecture and real-time data streaming. The Confluent Platform is built on Apache Kafka, providing robust event-streaming capabilities that allow organizations to collect, process, store, and manage data from multiple sources in a highly scalable and reliable manner.
This capability is essential for real-time analytics, event-driven microservices, and data integration between various applications and services. With its high-performance messaging backbone, it ensures low-latency event processing while maintaining fault tolerance and durability.
A. It provides the ability to trace transactions through IBM Cloud Pak for Integration.
Incorrect. Transaction tracing and monitoring are primarily handled by IBM Cloud Pak for Integration's API Connect, App Connect, and Instana monitoring tools, rather than Confluent Platform itself.
B. It provides a capability that allows users to store, manage, and retrieve integration assets in IBM Cloud Pak for Integration.
Incorrect. IBM Asset Repository and IBM API Connect are responsible for managing integration assets, not Confluent Platform.
C. It provides APIs to discover applications, platforms, and infrastructure in the environment.
Incorrect. This functionality is more aligned with IBM Instana, IBM Cloud Pak for Multicloud Management, or OpenShift Discovery APIs, rather than the event-streaming capabilities of Confluent Platform.
