# Topic

Available in VPC

In the **Topic** menu, you can create, operate, and manage topics. You can view and monitor the data sent to a topic and the consumer groups consuming that data, as well as set up a storage integration connector to reliably transmit real-time data to external services. For detailed information, see the following:

- [Operate and manage topics](/docs/en/datastream-topic01-vpc)
- [View transferred data](/docs/en/datastream-topic02-vpc)
- [View consumer group operation status](/docs/en/datastream-topic03-vpc)
- [Set up storage integration connector](/docs/en/datastream-topic04-vpc)
