Tutorial: Confluent Cloud CLI¶
Overview¶
This tutorial shows you how to use the Confluent Cloud CLI to interact with your Confluent Cloud cluster. It uses real resources in Confluent Cloud, and it creates and deletes topics, service accounts, credentials, and ACLs. Following the workflow in this tutorial, you accomplish the following steps:
- Create a new Confluent Cloud environment
- Create a new Confluent Cloud cluster
- Create a new API key/secret pair for user
- Produce and consume records with Confluent Cloud CLI
- Create a new service account with an API key/secret pair
- Run a Java producer without ACLs
- Run a Java producer with ACLs
- Run a Java producer with a prefixed ACL
- Run kafka-connect-datagen connector with wildcard ACLs
- Run a Java consumer with a Wildcard ACL
- Clean up your Confluent Cloud resources
Prerequisites¶
- Access to Confluent Cloud.
- Confluent Cloud user credentials saved in
~/.netrc
. (Useccloud login --save
when logging in to the Confluent Cloud CLI. The--save
flag will save your login credentials to the~/.netrc
file.) - Local install of Confluent Cloud CLI (v1.7.0 or later)
- Docker and Docker Compose for the local Connect worker
timeout
: used by the bash scripts to terminate a consumer process after a certain period of time.timeout
is available on most Linux distributions but not on macOS. macOS users should view the installation instructions for macOS.- mvn installed on your host
- jq installed on your host

Run the tutorial¶
To run this tutorial, complete the following steps:
Clone the Confluent examples repository:
git clone https://github.com/confluentinc/examples.git
Navigate to the
examples/ccloud/beginner-cloud/
directory and switch to the Confluent Platform release branch:cd examples/ccloud/beginner-cloud/ git checkout 5.5.15-post
If you want to manually step through the tutorial, which is advised for new users who want to gain familiarity with Confluent Cloud CLI, skip ahead to the next section. Alternatively, you can run the full tutorial end-to-end with the start.sh script, which automates all the steps in the tutorial:
./start.sh
Create a new Confluent Cloud environment¶
Run the following command to create a new Confluent Cloud environment
demo-script-env
:ccloud environment create demo-script-env -o json
Verify your output resembles:
{ "id": "env-5qz2q", "name": "demo-script-env" }
The value of the environment ID, in this case
env-5qz2q
, may differ in your output. In this tutorial, the values for certain variables, including your environment ID, Kafka cluster ID, API key, will be unique and will not match the output shown.Specify
env-5qz2q
as the active environment by running the following command:ccloud environment use env-5qz2q
Verify your output resembles:
Now using "env-5qz2q" as the default (active) environment.
Create a new Confluent Cloud cluster¶
Run the following command to create a new Confluent Cloud cluster
demo-kafka-cluster
. It takes up to 5 minutes for the Kafka cluster to be ready.ccloud kafka cluster create demo-kafka-cluster --cloud aws --region us-west-2
Tip
You may choose any provider or region from the list generated by running
ccloud kafka region list
.Verify your output resembles:

The value of the Kafka cluster ID, in this case
lkc-x6m01
, and Kafka cluster endpoint, in this casepkc-4kgmg.us-west-2.aws.confluent.cloud:9092
, may differ in your output.Specify
lkc-x6m01
as the active Kafka cluster by running the following command:ccloud kafka cluster use lkc-x6m01
Verify your output resembles:
Set Kafka cluster "lkc-x6m01" as the active cluster for environment "env-5qz2".
Create a new API key/secret pair for user¶
Run the following command to create a user API key/secret pair for your Kafka cluster
lkc-x6m01
:cloud api-key create --description "Demo credentials" --resource lkc-x6m01 -o json
Verify your output resembles:
{ "key": "QX7X4VA4DFJTTOIA", "secret": "fjcDDyr0Nm84zZr77ku/AQqCKQOOmb35Ql68HQnb60VuU+xLKiu/n2UNQ0WYXp/D" }

, and API secret, in this casefjcDDyr0Nm84zZr77ku/AQqCKQOOmb35Ql68HQnb60VuU+xLKiu/n2UNQ0WYXp/D
may differ in your output.Specify the API key
QX7X4VA4DFJTTOIA
for the Kafka clusterlkc-x6m01
:ccloud api-key use QX7X4VA4DFJTTOIA --resource lkc-x6m01
Your output should resemble:
Set the API Key "QX7X4VA4DFJTTOIA" as the active API key for ``lkc-x6m0``. Waiting for Confluent Cloud cluster to be ready and for credentials to propagate ....
Produce and consume records with Confluent Cloud CLI¶
Run the following command to create a new Kafka topic
demo-topic-1
:ccloud kafka topic create demo-topic-1
Produce 10 messages to topic
demo-topic-1
by running the following commands:(for i in `seq 1 10`; do echo "${i}" ; done) | \ ccloud kafka topic produce demo-topic-1
Verify your output resembles:
Starting Kafka Producer. ^C or ^D to exit 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Run the following command to consume messages from topic
demo-topic-1
. The flag-b
allows the consumer to read from the beginning of the topic.ccloud kafka topic consume demo-topic-1 -b
Verify your output resembles:
Starting Kafka Consumer. ^C or ^D to exit 2 3 9 4 5 7 10 1 6 8
Press
CTRL-C
to stop the consumer.
Create a new service account with an API key/secret pair¶
Run the following command to create a new service account:
ccloud service-account create demo-app-3288 --description demo-app-3288 -o json
Verify your output resembles:
{ "id": 104349, "name": "demo-app-3288", "description": "demo-app-3288" }
The value of the service account ID, in this case
104349
, may differ in your output.Create an API key and secret for the service account
104349
for the Kafka clusterlkc-x6m01
by running the following command:ccloud api-key create --service-account 104349 --resource lkc-x6m01 -o json
Verify your output resembles:
{ "key": "ESN5FSNDHOFFSUEV", "secret": "nzBEyC1k7zfLvVON3vhBMQrNRjJR7pdMc2WLVyyPscBhYHkMwP6VpPVDTqhctamB" }
The value of the service account’s API key, in this case
ESN5FSNDHOFFSUEV
, and API secret, in this casenzBEyC1k7zfLvVON3vhBMQrNRjJR7pdMc2WLVyyPscBhYHkMwP6VpPVDTqhctamB
, may differ in your output.Create a local configuration file
/tmp/client.config
with Confluent Cloud connection information using the newly created Kafka cluster and the API key and secret for the service account:ssl.endpoint.identification.algorithm=https sasl.mechanism=PLAIN security.protocol=SASL_SSL bootstrap.servers=pkc-4kgmg.us-west-2.aws.confluent.cloud:9092 sasl.jaas.config=org.apache.kafka.common.security.plain.PlainLoginModule required username\="ESN5FSNDHOFFSUEV" password\="nzBEyC1k7zfLvVON3vhBMQrNRjJR7pdMc2WLVyyPscBhYHkMwP6VpPVDTqhctamB";
Wait about 90 seconds for the Confluent Cloud cluster to be ready and for the service account credentials to propagate.
Run a Java producer without ACLs¶
By default, no ACLs are configured for the service account, which means the service account has no access to any Confluent Cloud resources. Run the following command to verify no ACLs are configured:
ccloud kafka acl list --service-account 104349
Your output should resemble:
ServiceAccountId | Permission | Operation | Resource | Name | Type +------------------+------------+-----------+----------+------+------+
Run a Java producer to
demo-topic-1
before configuring ACLs (expected to fail). Note that you pass in an argument to/tmp/client.config
which has the Confluent Cloud connection information:mvn -q -f ../../clients/cloud/java/pom.xml exec:java -Dexec.mainClass="io.confluent.examples.clients.cloud.ProducerExample" -Dexec.args="/tmp/client.config demo-topic-1" -Dlog4j.configuration=file:log4j.properties > /tmp/log.1 2>&1
Verify you see
org.apache.kafka.common.errors.TopicAuthorizationException
in the log file/tmp/log.1
as shown in the following example (expected because there are no ACLs to allow this client application):[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.codehaus.mojo:exec-maven-plugin:1.2.1:java (default-cli) on project clients-example: An exception occured while executing the Java class. null: InvocationTargetException: java.util.concurrent.ExecutionException: org.apache.kafka.common.errors.TopicAuthorizationException: Authorization failed. -> [Help 1]

Failed to create environment demo-script-env. Please troubleshoot and run again
In this case, run the following script to delete the demo’s topics, Kafka cluster, and environment:
./cleanup.sh
Advanced usage¶
The demo script provides variables that allow you to alter the default Kafka cluster name, cloud provider, and region. For example:
CLUSTER_NAME=my-demo-cluster CLUSTER_CLOUD=aws CLUSTER_REGION=us-west-2 ./start.sh
Here are the variables and their default values:
Variable | Default |
---|---|
CLUSTER_NAME |
demo-kafka-cluster |
CLUSTER_CLOUD |
aws |
CLUSTER_REGION |
us-west-2 |
