rpk shadow

Manage Redpanda Shadow Links.

Shadowing is Redpanda’s enterprise-grade disaster recovery solution that establishes asynchronous, offset-preserving replication between two distinct Redpanda clusters. A cluster is able to create a dedicated client that continuously replicates source cluster data, including offsets, timestamps, and cluster metadata.
