This document provides a comprehensive overview of the Lenovo Confluent Management software. Its purpose is to introduce the key features, design principles, and capabilities of the Confluent tool.
We begin by outlining the Confluent design principles and describing the major components of the system, followed by installation recommendations for a minimal setup. Next, we explore the security design and REST API capabilities with examples. We then delve into the Confluent High Availability (HA) architecture, presenting various deployment scenarios.
Subsequent sections highlight core features such as device onboarding, hardware and firmware management, and operating system deployment methods – both diskless and disk-based. We also explain how Confluent integrates with Ansible to enhance cluster management capabilities. Finally, the last chapter offers an overview of the Confluent graphical user interface (GUI) and command-line interface (CLI), showcasing key tools with examples and screenshots.
