Kpow v76 provides new Kafka ACL Management features and improves UI initialisation.

ACL Management Improvements

Kpow now provides the ability to view and edit ACLs directly from within the Topic and Group view.

‍

Version 75 provides support for Protobuf schema in the Schema Registry UI, and allows consumption and inspection of Protobuf in Data Inspect.

ACL Management

Kpow provides a rich user interface for Kafka ACL management with the ability to inspect, create, clone, and delete ACLs at a Principal, Host, Resource, or simple ACL level.

See our documentation for the minimum ACL permissions required by Kpow.

Version 73 provides support for PEM format SSL certificates introduced in Kafka 2.7.0 and described in KIP-651.

Version 72 of Kpow includes greater support for high availability Kafka resource management, new liveness probes, and greater support for reverse-proxying:

‍

Version 70 of Kpow includes support for Azure Event Hubs, enables multi-tenant Confluent Cloud, extends Klang with the new within function, and open-sources our continuous delivery pipeline for complete transparency around how Kpow artifacts are built.

Azure Event Hubs

Kpow can connect to your Azure Event Hubs namespace(s) if you have enabled Kafka Surface. See our Azure Event Hubs guide for more.

Confluent Cloud Multi-Tenancy

Kpow now supports connection to multiple Confluent Cloud 'Clusters' where clusters share the same bootstrap URL. See our Confluent Cloud guide for more.

Klang / Within

Klang now includes a new function in the JQ syntax to check membership of a set called within:

/

consume __oprtr_snapshot_state
 {:serdes "transit-json"
  :window [p1d @ (now - p1d)]
  :limit 500
  :filter #>(.:value:job/id | within("a0c8f0c0-79a1-447d-9cbc-dcc9fed120c6" 
                                     "2df0a375-f7e5-409d-9dde-9d5de478ffcf"))}

Transparent Continuous Delivery

Our continuous delivery configuration is now open source, if you are interested in how Kpow artifacts are built and deployed all the details are in the kpow-docker repository. Similarly our Dockerhub profile has been updated with an in-depth summary and quick-links to current tags.
