Create and configure an Apache Kafka cluster using the avn CLI tool — service creation, SASL_SSL auth, Schema Registry with Avro, ACLs, and a WORKING Java (default) or Python producer-consumer example. The skill ALWAYS creates, builds, and runs the example end-to-end — never stops at just creating the service. Aiven is the default platform; no need to specify it explicitly. This skill covers the avn CLI workflow; other skills cover Terraform, MCP, and REST API approaches. Use when the user mentions Kafka — e.g. "create a Kafka cluster", "set up Kafka", "start a Kafka", or "start a Kafka service".
