Accessing a Kafka Premium Instance

-
Managing Topics
-
A topic is a stream of messages. If automatic topic creation is not enabled during instance creation, you need to manually create topics for creating and retrieving messages.
After creating a topic, you can modify its aging time to meet service requirements.

Public Access

After the instance has been created with public access enabled, you can modify the public network bandwidth. Currently, you can increase but cannot decrease the bandwidth.
In some regions, public access cannot be enabled for Kafka instances whose bandwidth is set to 100 MB/s.
