Clusters for Apache Kafka® is Scaleway's product to provide a secure, fully-managed infrastructure for your Apache Kafka® deployments. With our clusters, you can create data pipelines and event-driven architectures that run natively on Apache Kafka®, without having to manage the underlying infrastructure.
17
+
18
+
Follow our quickstart guide to get your first cluster up and running efficiently, and know how to delete it when you no longer need it.

## How to create a Cluster for Apache Kafka®

TODO
27
+
1. Click **Apache Kafka®** in the **Data and Analytics** section of the [console](https://console.scaleway.com/) side menu. The **Clusters for Apache Kafka®a** product page displays.
28
+
29
+
2. Click **Create cluster**. The creation wizard displays.
30
+
31
+
3. Select a **region** for the cluster. During Private Beta, clusters are only available in the Paris region.
32
+
33
+
4. Select a **Kafka® version** to run on the cluster. Only one pre-selected Kafka® version is available during Private Beta.
34
+
35
+
5. Select the **number of nodes** (brokers) you want in the cluster, either **3 nodes** for a highly-available cluster enabling data replication, or **1 node** for a cluster suitable for testing and development. During Private Beta, the number of nodes cannot be changed after cluster creation.
36
+
37
+
6. Select a **node type**. Choose between [dedicated or shared nodes](/clusters-for-kafka/concepts/#node), depending on your workload requirements and use case. For shared nodes, various types are available, each offering different cost-performance ratios.
38
+
39
+
7. Configure **network connectivity**. During Private Beta, connectivity to clusters is facilitated exclusively through **Private Networks**. Select a Private Network from the dropdown list to attach your cluster to.
40
+
41
+
8. Create **credentials** by defining a username and password. These will be used when connecting to your cluster. During Private Beta, only one user can be created per cluster, and the username is not modifiable after creation (though the password can be changed).
42
+
43
+
9. Enter a **name**, and (optionally), **tags** to identify your cluster.
44
+
45
+
10. Check the estimated cost summary, then click **Create cluster**.
46
+
47
+
Your cluster is created, and you are taken to its **Overview** page in the console.

TODO
51

All clients that want to connect to your cluster must:
52
+
53
+
- Have downloaded the cluster's [TLS certificate](/clusters-for-kafka/how-to/manage-cluster/) and configured the client to recognize it.
54
+
- Be [attached to a Private Network](/vpc/how-to/attach-resources-to-pn/) in the same VPC as the cluster, or connect via a [Public Gateway](/public-gateways/how-to/create-a-public-gateway/) in the VPC
55
+
- Know the cluster's [username and password](/clusters-for-kafka/how-to/connect-to-cluster/#how-to-access-the-username-and-password)
56
+
57
+
Once you have ensured the client satisfies the conditions above, you can facilitate connection via the framework of your choice. Code snippets are provided for Go, Python and Java; access them by following the steps below.
58
+
59
+
1. Click **Apache Kafka®** in the **Data and Analytics** section of the [console](https://console.scaleway.com/) side menu. A list of your clusters displays.
60
+
61
+
2. Click the cluster you want to connect to. Its **Overview** page displays.
62
+
63
+
3. In the **Connectivity** panel, click **Connect**.
64
+
65
+
A pop-up displays, with tabs for each sample framework: **Go**, **Python** and **Java**.
66
+
67
+
4. Click the tab of your choice to view the code sample.
68
+
69
+
## How to configure your cluster
70
+
71
+
Configuration actions that cannot currently be carried out via the Scaleway console, API or devtools include:
72
+
73
+
- Creating topics, events and streams
74
+
- Configuring cluster parameters, such as replication factors, retention policies, and partitions
75
+
- Integrating clients and consumers
76
+
77
+
These actions can be done via TODO HOW?
