rpk profile

Manage rpk profiles.

An rpk profile talks to a single Redpanda cluster. You can create multiple profiles for multiple clusters and swap between them with rpk profile use. Multiple profiles may be useful if, for example, you use rpk to talk to a localhost cluster, a dev cluster, and a prod cluster, and you want to keep your configuration in one place.

You can also use the RPK_PROFILE environment variable to temporarily override the current profile without modifying your configuration. The --profile flag takes precedence over the environment variable if both are set.
