1. Create CDC Service
CDC Service is a large-scale data transfer tool that is low-latency, flexible, and reliable between Apache Kafka and other data systems. Users can easily define connections (Connector) to integrate data into/out of Kafka from/to various databases.

Step 1: In the menu bar, select Data Platform > select Workspace Management > select Workspace name
Step 2: In the My services section, click Create > the New service popup appears > select CDC service > Create Services

Step 3. In the CDC Service creation form, enter the information in the Connetor Information section
- Name (required): CDC Service name
The CDC Service name must be between 1 and 30 characters. It can contain lowercase letters a-z, uppercase letters A-Z, or digits 0-9. Do not enter duplicate Kafka connect names. In particular, spaces are not allowed — you can replace spaces with "-" or "_"
- Description (optional): CDC Service description
- Version (required): Version for the CDC Service
