-As a developer of applications and services, you can connect Quarkus applications to Kafka instances in {product-long-kafka}. https://quarkus.io/[Quarkus^] is a Kubernetes-native Java framework made for Java virtual machines (JVMs) and native compilation, and optimized for serverless, cloud, and Kubernetes environments. Quarkus is designed to work with popular Java standards, frameworks, and libraries like Eclipse MicroProfile and Spring, as well as Apache Kafka, RESTEasy (JAX-RS), Hibernate ORM (JPA), Infinispan, Camel, and many more.

 NOTE: When you've completed this quick start and understand the required connection configuration for a Kafka instance, you can use the {product-long-rhoas} command-line interface (CLI) to generate this type of configuration in a more automated way.

 == Configuring the Quarkus example application to connect to a Kafka instance
 
 [role="_abstract"]
-To enable your Quarkus application to access a Kafka instance, configure the connection using the bootstrap server endpoint, the generated credentials for your {product-long-kafka} service account, and the SASL/OAUTHBEARER token endpoint for the Kafka instance. For Quarkus, you can configure connection information by using the `application.properties` configuration file. The example in this task sets environment variables and then references them in the  `application.properties` file.

For Quarkus, you can configure connection information by using the `application.properties` configuration file. The example in this task sets environment variables and then references them in the `application.properties` file.
 
 Quarkus applications use https://github.com/eclipse/microprofile-reactive-messaging[MicroProfile Reactive Messaging^] to produce messages to and consume messages from your Kafka instances in {product-kafka}. For more information about Quarkus configuration options for Kafka and Reactive Messaging, see https://quarkus.io/guides/kafka[Using Apache Kafka with Reactive Messaging^] in the Quarkus documentation.
 
 .Prerequisites
-* You have the bootstrap server endpoint and the SASL/OAUTHBEARER token endpoint for the Kafka instance. To get the server endpoint and the SASL/OAUTHBEARER token endpoint, select your Kafka instance in the {product-kafka} {service-url-kafka}[web console^], select the options icon (three vertical dots), and click *Connection*.
-* You have the generated credentials for your service account. To reset the credentials, use the {service-accounts-url}[Service Accounts^] page in the *Application Services* section of the Red Hat Hybrid Cloud Console.
-* You've set the permissions for your service account to access the Kafka instance resources. To verify the current permissions, select your Kafka instance in the {product-kafka} web console and use the *Access* page to find your service account permission settings.
+* You have the bootstrap server endpoint and the SASL/OAUTHBEARER token endpoint for your Kafka instance. To get this information, find your Kafka instance in the {product-kafka} {service-url-kafka}[web console^], click the options icon (three vertical dots), and click *Connection*. Copy the *Bootstrap server* and *Token endpoint URL* values.
+* You have the generated credentials for your service account. To reset the credentials, use the {service-accounts-url}[Service Accounts^] page in the *Application Services* section of the Red Hat Hybrid Cloud Console. Copy the *Client ID* and *Client secret* values.
+* You've set the permissions for your service account to access the Kafka instance resources. To verify the current permissions, click your Kafka instance in the {service-url-kafka}[{product-kafka} web console^] and use the *Access* page to find your service account permission settings.
 
 
 .Procedure
-. On the command line, set the Kafka instance bootstrap server and client credentials as environment variables to be used by Quarkus or other applications. Replace the values with your own server and credential information.

-. Select the *Topics* tab.
-. Click *Create topic* and follow the guided steps to define the topic details.

-You must specify the following topic properties:
-
-* *Topic name*: For this quick start, enter `prices` as the topic name.
-* *Partitions*: Set the number of partitions for the topic. For this quick start, set the value to `1`.
-* *Message retention*: Set the message retention time and size. For this quick start, set the retention time to `A week` and the retention size to `Unlimited`.
-* *Replicas*: For this release of {product-kafka}, the replica values are preconfigured. The number of partition replicas for the topic is set to `3` and the minimum number of follower replicas that must be in sync with a partition leader is set to `2`. For a trial Kafka instance, the number of replicas and the minimum in-sync replica factor are both set to `1`.
+. In the {product-kafka} {service-url-kafka}[web console^], click *Kafka Instances* and then click the name of the Kafka instance that you want to add a topic to.
+. Click the *Topics* tab.
+. Click *Create topic* and specify the following topic properties:
+.. *Topic name*: For this quick start, enter `prices` as the topic name. Click *Next*.
+.. *Partitions*: Set the number of partitions for the topic. For this quick start, set the value to `1`. Click *Next*.
