Important

In line with Confluent’s major upgrades policy, confluent v2 will soon be marked as deprecated in favor of the recent release of Confluent CLI v3. Because official support for confluent v2 ends on July 24, 2023, to avoid any potential disruption of service, Confluent recommends you migrate to Confluent v3 before July 24, 2023.
