This API allows you to manage your Clusters for Apache Kafka®.

Cluster management commands

A Kafka cluster is composed of one or multiple dedicated compute nodes running a single Kafka broker.

Create a Kafka cluster

Create a new Kafka cluster.

Usage:

Code
scw kafka cluster create [arg=value ...]

Arguments:

Name	Description	Argument Specifications
project-id	Project ID to use. If none is passed the default project ID will be used
name	Name of the Kafka cluster	Default: <generated>
version	Version of Kafka	Required
tags.{index}	Tags to apply to the Kafka cluster
node-amount	Number of nodes to use for the Kafka cluster	Required
node-type	Type of node to use for the Kafka cluster	Required
volume.size-bytes	Volume size
volume.type	Type of volume where data is stored	One of: unknown_type, sbs_5k, sbs_15k
endpoints.{index}.public-network
endpoints.{index}.private-network.private-network-id	UUID of the Private Network
user-name	Username for the kafka user
password	Password for the kafka user
multi-az	MultiAZ tell the cluster is deployed on multiple availability zones in the region.
mono-az.zone	Zone is the zone on which the cluster nodes are deployed.
region	Region to target. If none is passed will use default region from the config	Default: fr-par One of: fr-par

Delete a Kafka cluster

Delete a given Kafka cluster, specified by the region and cluster_id parameters. Deleting a Kafka cluster is permanent, and cannot be undone. Note that upon deletion all your data will be lost.

Usage:

Code
scw kafka cluster delete <cluster-id ...> [arg=value ...]

Arguments:

Name	Description	Argument Specifications
cluster-id	UUID of the Kafka Cluster to delete	Required
region	Region to target. If none is passed will use default region from the config	Default: fr-par One of: fr-par

Get a Kafka cluster

Retrieve information about a given Kafka cluster, specified by the region and cluster_id parameters. Its full details, including name, status, IP address and port, are returned in the response object.

Usage:

Code
scw kafka cluster get <cluster-id ...> [arg=value ...]

Arguments:

Name	Description	Argument Specifications
cluster-id	UUID of the Kafka Cluster	Required
region	Region to target. If none is passed will use default region from the config	Default: fr-par One of: fr-par

Get a Kafka cluster's certificate authority

Retrieve certificate authority for a given Kafka cluster, specified by the region and cluster_id parameters. The response object contains the certificate in PEM format. The certificate is required to validate the sever from the client side during TLS connection.

Usage:

Code
scw kafka cluster get-ca <cluster-id ...> [arg=value ...]

Arguments:

Name	Description	Argument Specifications
cluster-id	UUID of the Kafka Cluster	Required
region	Region to target. If none is passed will use default region from the config	Default: fr-par One of: fr-par

List Kafka clusters

List all Kafka clusters in the specified region. By default, the clusters returned in the list are ordered by creation date in ascending order, though this can be modified via the order_by field. You can define additional parameters for your query, such as tags and name. For the name parameter, the value you include will be checked against the whole name string to see if it includes the string you put in the parameter.

Usage:

Code
scw kafka cluster list [arg=value ...]

Arguments:

Name	Description	Argument Specifications
tags.{index}	List Kafka cluster with a given tag
name	Lists Kafka clusters that match a name pattern
order-by	Criteria to use when ordering Kafka cluster listings	One of: created_at_asc, created_at_desc, name_asc, name_desc, status_asc, status_desc
project-id	Project ID
organization-id	Organization ID of the Kafka cluster
region	Region to target. If none is passed will use default region from the config	Default: fr-par One of: fr-par, all

Renew the Kafka cluster's certificate authority

Request to renew the certificate authority for a given Kafka cluster, specified by the region and cluster_id parameters. The certificate authority will be renewed within a few minutes.

Usage:

Code
scw kafka cluster renew-ca <cluster-id ...> [arg=value ...]

Arguments:

Name	Description	Argument Specifications
cluster-id	UUID of the Kafka Cluster	Required
region	Region to target. If none is passed will use default region from the config	Default: fr-par One of: fr-par

Update a Kafka cluster
