\fB(BETA)\fR Create a Managed Service for Apache Kafka topic.



.SH "EXAMPLES"

To create a topic in a cluster named mycluster located in us\-central1, run the
following:

.SH "POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS"

.RS 2m
.TP 2m

Topic resource \- Identifies the name of the topic that this command creates.
The arguments in this group can be used to specify the attributes of this
resource. (NOTE) Some attributes are not given arguments in this group but can
be set in other ways.

To set the \f5project\fR attribute:
.RS 2m
.IP "\(em" 2m
provide the argument \f5topic\fR on the command line with a fully specified
name;
.IP "\(em" 2m
provide the argument \f5\-\-project\fR on the command line;
.IP "\(em" 2m
set the property \f5core/project\fR.
.RE
.sp

This must be specified.


.RS 2m
.TP 2m
\fITOPIC\fR

ID of the topic or fully qualified identifier for the topic.

To set the \f5topic\fR attribute:
.RS 2m
.IP "\(bu" 2m
provide the argument \f5topic\fR on the command line.
.RE
.sp

This positional argument must be specified if any of the other arguments in this
group are specified.

.TP 2m
\fB\-\-cluster\fR=\fICLUSTER\fR

The cluster name.


To set the \f5cluster\fR attribute:
.RS 2m
.IP "\(bu" 2m
provide the argument \f5topic\fR on the command line with a fully specified
name;
.IP "\(bu" 2m
provide the argument \f5\-\-cluster\fR on the command line.
.RE
.sp

.TP 2m

ID of the location of the Managed Service for Apache Kafka resource. See
https://cloud.google.com/managed\-service\-for\-apache\-kafka/docs/locations for

.SH "REQUIRED FLAGS"

.RS 2m
.TP 2m
\fB\-\-partitions\fR=\fIPARTITIONS\fR

The number of partitions in a topic. You can increase the partition count for a
topic, but you cannot decrease it. Increasing partitions for a topic that uses a
key might change how messages are distributed.

.TP 2m
\fB\-\-replication\-factor\fR=\fIREPLICATION_FACTOR\fR

The number of replicas of each partition. A replication factor of 3 is
recommended for high availability.


.RE
.sp

.SH "OPTIONAL FLAGS"

.RS 2m
.TP 2m
\fB\-\-configs\fR=[\fIKEY\fR=\fIVALUE\fR,...]

Configuration for the topic that are overridden from the cluster defaults. The
key of the map is a Kafka topic property name, for example:
\f5cleanup.policy=compact\fR,\f5compression.type=producer\fR. If you provide a
map with a key that already exists, only that configuration is updated. If the
map contains a key that does not exist, the entry is appended to the topic
configuration.
