PRODUCT UPDATES
New Cluster APIs: Automate provisioning, configuration, & management
Work faster, more efficiently, and with reduced risk when leveraging Cluster Management APIs for automated provisioning, configuration, and management of Basic & Standard clusters. New operations now exist to list, create, read, update, and delete clusters within your environments. You can now spin up and spin down infrastructure in a simple, scalable, and cost-effective manner while saving time for focus on other value-add projects. Like other Confluent Cloud APIs, these APIs have predictable resource-oriented URLs, transport data using JSON, and use standard HTTP verbs, response codes, authentication, and design principles.
Verify Cluster RBAC authorization checks with Audit Logs
Strengthen security measures across your Confluent deployment with verification of every authorization check performed by Cluster RBAC when users request permission for actions such as cluster creation or deletion. A new event for RBAC authorization checks is now available within the Audit Logs events library alongside existing events for actions like topic adjustments, ACLs adjustments, and more. When used together, Cluster RBAC and Audit Logs allow for strict, role-based permission controls across your entire system with an easy means of exporting and auditing activity within your tool of choice, such as Splunk or Elastic.
