Install Kafka on Google Cloud

Hey everyone! In this video, we will install Apache Kafka on a Unix system. Here are the steps:

1. Create a VM on Google Cloud, selecting the Ubuntu operating system.
2. Update the package lists: `sudo apt update`
3. Install default JDK: `sudo apt install default-jdk`
4. Check Java version: `java -version`
5. Install wget utility: `sudo apt install wget`
6. Create a directory for Kafka: `mkdir youtubekafka`
7. Navigate to the Kafka directory: `cd youtubekafka/`

Next, we need to set up firewall rules to allow external devices to connect to Kafka:

```
gcloud compute firewall-rules create allow-all-ports \
--allow all \
--source-ranges 0.0.0.0/0 \
--target-tags kafka-youtube
```

These commands will ensure that you have the necessary dependencies and download Kafka for further setup. Let's get started!
