**The Confluent Cloud CLI unlocks a powerful set of features for both the day-to-day activities of a developer as well as managerial functions for operators, architects, and analysts**. A sampling of features in the cloud includes:

- Full CRUD operations on Kafka clusters and topics, including the management of clusters across all major cloud providers—Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP)
  - Pro tip: [`ccloud kafka region list`](https://docs.confluent.io/current/cloud/cli/command-reference/ccloud_kafka_region_list.html) displays all the regions Confluent Cloud currently supports

- Management of [service accounts](https://docs.confluent.io/current/cloud/access-management/user-service-example.html) and their associated API keys and Kafka ACLs
- Creation and control (including pausing or stopping) of connectors, including viewing all connector types that are available to create
- Full CRUD operations for Schema Registry clusters, schemas, and subjects
- Management and switching between [environments](https://docs.confluent.io/current/cloud/using/environments.html)
- Administration of ksqlDB apps, including automatically configuring the appropriate ACLs

There are also features to make your interaction with the CLI easier (currently limited to `bash` or `zsh` shell users), such as autocompletion ([`ccloud completion --help`](https://docs.confluent.io/current/cloud/cli/command-reference/ccloud_completion.html)) and a fully customizable PS1 prompt for adding `ccloud` information to your terminal ([`ccloud prompt --help`](https://docs.confluent.io/current/cloud/cli/command-reference/ccloud_prompt.html)).
