Confluent Control Center Deployment Overview

You can deploy Control Center with Confluent Platform in more than one way, from a Docker quick start to a multi-node production install. Choose the path that fits your environment. For on-premises Confluent Platform installation, see Install Confluent Platform On-Premises.

For Control Center system requirements and compatibility with Confluent Platform, see System Requirements and Compatibility.

Warning

Install Control Center on a dedicated host. Do not install it on a host that has other Confluent Platform components installed, such as Schema Registry, REST Proxy, or other Confluent share/java libraries, even if they are not running. Shared libraries between the components can conflict and prevent Control Center from starting. If Control Center previously shared a host with Confluent Platform, remove the other Confluent packages before starting Control Center. For production, see Multi-Node Installation for Production.

Choose a deployment path

• Use Quick Start to bring up Confluent Platform and Control Center locally for development and testing.
