Future Breaking Changes​

New Docker image name​

We have renamed the Console docker image to conduktor/conduktor-console to clarify our product naming.

We will publish newer versions using both names for the next two releases only. Please modify your installation to reflect this change in advance of us deprecating the name conduktor-platform.

docker pull conduktor/conduktor-console:1.22.0

Topic as a Service becomes Self-service​

Self-service is a replacement for Topic as a Service. It is more centered towards a GitOps way of working, though we have performed a migration for existing TaaS applications to ensure a seamless transition to the new model:

• Applications + Environments are migrated to Application and ApplicationInstance
• Cross Application accesses are migrated to ApplicationInstancePermission
• The Application list becomes Application Catalog
• At the moment, we decided that we should control everything from the CLI only. The UI will remain Read-Only for now, but the intention is to bring back UI-driven operations in a future release.

Read More about Self-service

To start using Self-service, you must download our Conduktor CLI which lets you deploy resource files in Console.

Conduktor CLI​

Console now has a CLI! Get Started with it today.

For now, we only support the following resources:

• Application
• ApplicationInstance
• ApplicationInstancePermission

Our objective is to let Application Teams and Central Teams manage both Console resources (Clusters, Groups, Permission, Self-service resources, DataPolicies, Alerts, ...) and Kafka resources (Topics, Subjects, Connectors, ...) using a common definition mechanism.

More to come, automate everything!

Custom Deserializers​

Console's support for Custom Deserializers is finally here:

Check out the guide to installing and configuring custom deserializers.

Fixes​

• Fixed an issue with controller metrics in Monitoring when the Kafka cluster is using KRaft
• Added support for Broker, Connect, and ksqlDB id field and TLS authentication in the YAML configuration file and Environment variables. This implies you might have a duplicate Connect instance if you use a YAML file with an ID for your Connect cluster. Check the Environment Variables page for more details
• Added new configurations to tune indexing batching and parallelization.s
• Fixed an issue with Azure PostgreSQL preventing the Schema Registry page from displaying properly
