Kafka CreateAcls Request Wire Format v1 — Binary Protocol Layout

What is CreateAcls?

Grants principals access to resources via kafka-acls.sh --add. Changes take effect immediately (no restart needed), but ACL propagation across brokers is eventually consistent via ZooKeeper or KRaft metadata, leaving a short window where a new ACL might not be enforced cluster-wide.
