| - You can define specific topic settings, such as the number of partitions, | ||
| replication factor, retention period, and more. | ||
| - It helps prevent the creation of incorrect topics due to typos or | ||
| other mistakes. | ||
|
|
||
| ## Create an Apache Kafka® topic | ||
|
|
||
| To create a topic using the [Aiven | ||
| Console](https://console.aiven.io/), follow these steps: | ||
|
|
||
| 1. Log in to [Aiven Console](https://console.aiven.io/) and select the | ||
| Aiven for Apache Kafka® service where you want to create the topic. | ||
| 2. From the left sidebar, select **Topics**. | ||
| 3. Select **Create topic** to create a topic and enter a name for | ||
| the topic. | ||
| 4. If required, set the advanced configuration option to **Yes**. | ||
| 5. In the **Topic advanced configuration** section, you can set | ||
| properties such as the replication factor, number of partitions, and | ||
| other settings. These settings can be modified later if needed. | ||
| 6. Select **Create topic**. The new topic will be visible immediately, | ||
| but may take a few minutes before you can update its settings. | ||
|
|
||
| You can also use the | ||
| [topic-create](/docs/tools/cli/service/topic#avn_cli_service_topic_create) command to create a topic using | ||
| [Aiven CLI](/docs/tools/cli). | ||
| :::note | ||
| When tiered storage is activated for your Aiven for Apache Kafka service, all new topics | ||
| will have tiered storage enabled by default. | ||
| [Learn more about tiered storage](/docs/products/kafka/concepts/kafka-tiered-storage). | ||
