Flink Jobs for Confluent Manager for Apache Flink

Flink applications are deployed in Confluent Platform with Confluent Manager for Apache Flink® (CMF), which is a central management component that enables users to securely manage a fleet of Flink jobs across multiple environments.

CMF supports two ways to create and manage Flink jobs.

• Applications offer the full flexibility of Flink programs. You can use all JVM-based APIs (DataStream, Table, SQL) and submit and manage applications packaged as JAR files.

• Statements offer the ease-of-use of a native SQL interface. You can run table operations, interactive SQL statements, or submit and manage long-running SQL statements.

Applications and Statements offer all Flink configuration options and can be tuned to meet their performance, fault-tolerance, and security requirements.
