🧹 Nitpick comments (3)
modules/get-started/pages/cluster-types/serverless.adoc (1)
97-99: Split the combined RBAC/mTLS bullet for scanability.Two separate bullets read better and make it easier to link to specific docs (RBAC in DP). The reordering of Kafka Connect looks fine.
Please confirm with PM/ENG that both “RBAC in the data plane” and “mTLS for Kafka API clients” remain unsupported for Serverless as of August 28, 2025.
Apply:
-* RBAC in the data plane and mTLS authentication for Kafka API clients +* RBAC in the data plane +* mTLS authentication for Kafka API clients * Kafka ConnectOptionally add a cross-link for RBAC in DP:
-* RBAC in the data plane +* xref:security:authorization/rbac/rbac_dp.adoc[RBAC in the data plane]modules/get-started/pages/cloud-overview.adoc (2)
175-177: Link the new RBAC-in-DP bullet to the RBAC DP doc.This improves discoverability and aligns terminology with the Serverless page.
Apply:
-* Role-based access control (RBAC) in the data plane +* xref:security:authorization/rbac/rbac_dp.adoc[Role-based access control (RBAC) in the data plane]
76-80: Avoid conflation between “RBAC & audit logs” row and “RBAC in the data plane.”The table row is broader (“RBAC & audit logs”), while the new bullet below is specific to data-plane RBAC. Consider clarifying the row label or adding a footnote to indicate that “RBAC” here includes data-plane RBAC and audit logs, which are not available on Serverless.
Apply (one option):
-| *RBAC & audit logs* +| *RBAC (data plane) & audit logs*Or add a short note below the table clarifying scope.

🛠️ Refactor suggestion
Clarify Serverless non-support inline and add a cross-reference.
Add an explicit “not supported for Serverless” mention here to remove ambiguity and point readers to the Serverless page. Also remove the trailing space at the end of Line 6.
