Confluent REST Proxy 6.0: Putting Apache Kafka to REST

What this post added

This post details the enhancements to Confluent REST Proxy in Confluent Platform 6.0. It introduces the ability to administer Apache Kafka via RESTful HTTP APIs for resources like ACLs, brokers, clusters, topics, partitions, and consumer groups. It also highlights the integration of REST Proxy APIs directly into Confluent Server, removing the need for a separate REST Proxy deployment. Examples are provided for cluster and topic management, including creating topics with configurations, resetting topic configurations, and managing ACLs. It also touches on managing brokers and their configurations.
