rpk shadow create

Creates a Redpanda shadow link.

This command creates a shadow link using a configuration file that defines the connection details and synchronization settings.

Before you create a shadow link, generate a configuration file with rpk shadow config generate and update it with your source cluster details. The command prompts you to confirm the creation. Use the --no-confirm flag to skip the confirmation prompt.

After you create the shadow link, use rpk shadow status to monitor the replication progress.
