Thanks for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A

As of now, Kafka as an input source for Azure Stream Analytics is still in public preview, and there hasn’t been an official announcement regarding its general availability (GA) date

The feature has been available for nearly a year, and while it has received positive feedback, Microsoft typically provides updates on GA timelines during major events or through their official channels.

For the latest updates, I recommend keeping an eye on the Azure updates page or the Azure Stream Analytics documentation
