Confluent - How to use external zookeeper instead of embedded zookeeper

Question

I used to setup standalone Confluent Server with embedded Zookeeper(ZK). But now, my prod server has its own ZK cluster. So I want to use it instead of the embedded ZK in Confluent.

Using ksql for example. Although I can set the ZK settings of ksql to my own ZK cluster and run the embedded ZK to another port and just let it be. But I have two independent ZK which make me "uncomfortable".

How can I make the embedded ZK "disable" and all the Confluent Servers use my own ZK cluster?

@GiorgosMyrianthous I don't understand. I use `confluent start ` — Archon, Sep 28 '18 at 10:32
There's no such thing as "embedded". It's just "local", but only because you're using the `confluent` command. — OneCricketeer, Sep 28 '18 at 14:37

The Confluent CLI is not for production use. It is intended for use on a single node development environment.

You can see recommendations for production deployment here, and information about configuring your services here.
