Currently, I have Apache Kafka in Docker. I am using a confluent—Kafka client for connecting the Kafka Topics(Producer and Subscriber) from the the.Net core application. Today I came to know that Kafka connect can be used for this. After all the research, I concluded that Kafka connect is not available for .net which can be used in Java only. So anyone please help me to understand the difference in the following manner?
There's no such thing as "Confluent Kafka".
There's Confluent Platform, which includes Apache Kafka + Kafka Connect scripts, both of which are Apache 2.0 Licensed.
The library named confluent-kafka-dotnet is only a Producer/Consumer/AdminClient C# equivalent to the kafka-clients JVM library. The Connect Framework is an abstraction over this.

Not quite. Kafka Connect is used for connecting to external systems, such as filesystems, web servers, or databases.
