IoT Stream and Queue Provider for Google Cloud

[rattmice]

With ThingWorx 10 and IoT Streams + Queue Provider, is it possible to off-ramp the property data to Google Cloud?  There is the "Google Cloud Managed Service for Apache Kafka" offering and was wondering if anyone had any experience in the Google Kafka broker or other experiences with IoT Streams in general.  This looks like a great new feature and would eliminate a custom extension that integrates with Google Cloud and I'm seeking any thoughts, advice, experience in this area.

Thank you!

Hi @rattmice,

Personally I did not test with Google Cloud Managed Service for Apache Kafka but I did test with classic Kafka (4.0.0) and Event Hub, and it worked fine.

I expect the only challenge would be the authentication, specifically that the authentication should not require any sort of client certificates - should work with user and password.

Obviously, if the endpoint is using a TLS certificate signed by a non-public CA, the respective CA should be added in ThingWorx's truststore.
