Switchover Pairs (switchover/v1)

Early Access Request Access To Switchover API (Kafka Disaster Recovery)

SwitchoverPair represents a cluster-level Disaster Recovery pairing between two Kafka clusters in different regions of the same environment. Exactly one member is active at any time; the other is passive and kept in sync via a bidirectional cluster link.

The API allows you to list, create, read, update, and delete switchover pairs, and to trigger a failover (promotion of the passive member) via the :failover operation.
