We’re excited to announce that Unified Stream Manager (USM) is now generally available with the release of Confluent Platform 8.1!
A unified view for governance and monitoring for all your Kafka data, whether on-prem or in the cloud.
USM is designed to unify how you manage and monitor all your Confluent clusters regardless of where they are. All your clusters, whether on-prem, in a private cloud, or across public clouds, are displayed in a single unified view.
To leverage USM, you’ll connect your Confluent Platform private environment to a Confluent Cloud environment through a secure private network connection. This connection is initiated from the private environment, sharing only metadata and telemetry with your cloud environment, and ensures that all your Kafka data and all client workloads remain securely in your private environment.
Refer to the launch blog post for more details on how it works!
