Well-Architected Frameworks

These cloud provider frameworks informed the structure and principles of this Well-Architected guide:

AWS Well-Architected Framework: docs.aws.amazon.com/wellarchitected/latest/framework/welcome.html -- Amazon's framework covering operational excellence, security, reliability, performance efficiency, cost optimisation, and sustainability.
Azure Well-Architected Framework: learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/well-architected/ -- Microsoft's guidance for designing and operating reliable, secure, and efficient workloads on Azure.
Google Cloud Architecture Framework: cloud.google.com/architecture/framework -- Google's best practices for building well-architected systems on Google Cloud Platform.

Kafka Disaster Recovery

Apache Kafka Documentation: kafka.apache.org/documentation/ -- The official Apache Kafka documentation, including broker configuration, client APIs, security, and operations guides.
KRaft Mode: kafka.apache.org/documentation/#kraft -- Documentation for Kafka's ZooKeeper-free consensus mode, which simplifies cluster management and is the default from Kafka 4.0.

The following standards and frameworks are relevant to organisations implementing Kafka backup and disaster recovery in regulated environments:

NIST Cybersecurity Framework -- A voluntary framework from the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology providing guidelines for managing and reducing cybersecurity risk. Relevant to backup encryption, access controls, and incident response planning.
SOC 2 Type II -- An auditing standard from the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA) that evaluates the effectiveness of an organisation's controls over security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy. Backup and restore procedures are a key component of SOC 2 compliance.
ISO 27001 -- An international standard for information security management systems (ISMS). It provides a systematic approach to managing sensitive data, including requirements for backup procedures, access control, and disaster recovery.
GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) -- The European Union's data protection regulation that governs how personal data is collected, processed, and stored. Relevant to backup data retention policies, right to erasure, and data masking requirements. The OSO Kafka Backup Enterprise edition provides specific GDPR compliance tools.
PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) -- A set of security standards for organisations handling credit card data. Relevant to encryption of backup data, access control, audit logging, and secure storage of cardholder information.
