snctl
). It serves as a unified interface to:
- Deploy and manage StreamNative Cloud infrastructure (instances, clusters, service accounts, API keys, etc.).
- Interact directly with your Pulsar clusters using the
snctl pulsar
commands (for managing tenants, namespaces, topics, producing/consuming messages, running admin tasks, etc.). - Interact with Kafka-protocol endpoints (KSN / Ursa) using the
snctl kafka
commands (for managing topics, consumer groups, producing/consuming messages, etc.).
pulsarctl
) remains available. While snctl
now covers most common Pulsar management tasks for StreamNative Cloud clusters via its Service Context feature, pulsarctl
is still relevant for:
- Managing self-managed, open-source Apache Pulsar clusters.
- Users who prefer its specific command set or have existing scripts based on it.
- Potentially accessing advanced Pulsar features or configurations not yet exposed through
snctl pulsar admin
.
snctl
, you can automate the complete workflow of provisioning StreamNative Cloud resources and managing the Pulsar/Kafka resources within them. You can supplement with pulsarctl
for specific OSS or advanced use cases if needed.

Other tools
You can use the other existing tools to interact with your StreamNative clusters.Pulsar CLI tools
You can use the existing OSS Pulsar CLI tools, such aspulsar-admin
, pulsar-client
, and pulsar-perf
, to manage the Pulsar resources or interact with your StreamNative clusters through the Pulsar protocol.
See Use Pulsar Tools With StreamNative Cloud for more information.
Kafka CLI tools
Apache Kafka CLI tools Apache Kafka provides a suite of command-line interface (CLI) tools that can be accessed from the/bin
directory after downloading and extracting the Kafka distribution. These tools offer a range of capabilities, including starting and stopping Kafka, managing topics, and handling partitions. You can use these tools to interact with your StreamNative clusters through the Kafka protocol.
See Use Kafka Tools With StreamNative Cloud for more information.
kcat
kcat
is a popular CLI tool to interact with Apache Kafka. You can use it to interact with your StreamNative clusters as well.
See Use kcat to interact with StreamNative Cloud for more information.
