      Improved
      Aiven for Apache Kafka®

    Fixed an issue that blocked Kafka 4.x features after upgrade

    If you upgraded an Aiven for Apache Kafka® service from Kafka 3.x to 4.x, stale broker or controller registrations could prevent metadata.version from being finalized. This could block access to Kafka 4.x features even after the upgrade completed.

    To resolve the issue, apply the Unblock the finalization of Apache Kafka 4.x upgrade for clusters with stale controller registrations update, available from your service's maintenance updates. After the update is applied, contact Aiven support to finalize the Kafka 4.x upgrade. Aiven support removes any confirmed stale broker and controller registrations and finalizes metadata.version on your cluster. No additional restart or node recycle is required after the maintenance update.

    The root cause is an unresolved upstream Apache Kafka issue, KAFKA-20295.

    New project-level roles

    Aiven has added three project-level roles so you can grant access with least privilege: project admin, project manager, and project read access.

    Project manager

    The project manager (role:project:manager) is for day-to-day project operations. This role can view and manage services, their configuration, and key project configuration like permissions and integrations. It replaces the operator role and has fewer permissions, making it a more secure choice for granting least privilege access.

    Project admin

    The project admin (role:project:admin) role replaces the legacy admin role. Users with this role can manage project permissions, tags, settings, integrations, networking, and all services in the project.

    Project read access

    The project read access role (role:project:read) is for users who need visibility, but don’t need to make changes. It replaces the read_only role, and can view project permissions, tags, event logs, integrations, and networking. It also has read access to services, including logs, metrics, and service users. Service configuration secrets and service user passwords are redacted.

    Use these new permissions for new assignments. The legacy operator, admin, and read_only roles will be deprecated and removed. A separate announcement will be made for the deprecation of those roles.

    For more information, see Aiven’s documentation on roles and permissions.

    Centralized platform event logs for organizations

    OAuth 2.0/OIDC authentication for Karapace Schema Registry

    You can now use OAuth 2.0/OpenID Connect (OIDC) bearer tokens to authenticate requests to Karapace Schema Registry on Aiven for Apache Kafka®. Schema Registry validates JSON Web Tokens (JWTs) using the same OIDC provider settings as Apache Kafka.

    You can also enable role-based authorization to control Schema Registry operations based on roles in the JWT. Enabling JWT authentication does not disable basic authentication, so you can migrate clients gradually and disable basic authentication after the migration is complete.

    Requires Karapace 6.2.1 or later. Configure authentication and authorization in the Aiven Console or with the Aiven CLI.

    For more information, see Enable OAuth 2.0/OIDC authentication for Aiven for Apache Kafka® Schema Registry.
