Old Kafka migration

[stefannmih]

Hello, I would like to know what is the best approach to migrate the data from an old Kafka cluster (v0.10 - not hosted on Kubernetes) to a new strimzi cluster (v3.6) with Kraft.

During my research I've found that a way to do it would be to connect a MM2 pod to the old cluster, stop the consumers and connect them to the strimzi cluster and then stop the producers and connect them to the strimzi cluster.

However, I couldn't find if this approach works with such an old Kafka cluster as ours and what are the bottlenecks.

I am looking forward to hearing your thoughts on this matter.
