Summary

The latest update to the Confluent CLI integrates all functionalities from the cloud-specific ccloud CLI into the existing confluent CLI, marking a significant step towards a unified platform that caters to both cloud and on-premises users. This update, part of the Confluent Platform 7.1 release, introduces a single CLI that allows seamless switching between cloud and on-prem deployments, offering features like multi-org support and improved command syntax for cloud users, while enhancing usability for on-prem users. An example workflow is provided for hybrid users who need to link and mirror clusters across Confluent Platform and Confluent Cloud, underscoring the CLI's ability to manage both environments efficiently. With Confluent CLI v2, the previous ccloud CLI will be deprecated, with its sunset scheduled for May 2022, and users are encouraged to update to enjoy the streamlined functionalities and new features. The update also includes enhanced security with OAuth support and integration capabilities with Amazon OpenSearch, reflecting Confluent's commitment to evolving its platform.
