Allow configuration of rate limits and quotas for Aiven for Apache Kafka
As a developer / SRE,
I want to configure quotas for producers and consumers,
so that I can make sure there are no rogue Apache Kafka clients exhausting network bandwidth available for the cluster.
In addition, I can throttle certain clients to simulate and test different network situations and application use-cases, i.e. consumer group auto-scaling.

You can now control the network throughput and CPU usage of your Kafka clients with the new Quotas feature in Aiven for Apache Kafka. Quotas allow you to set limits on how much bandwidth and processing power each client can consume, ensuring a balanced distribution of resources and improving the system's performance. This feature helps prevent resource depletion and enhances the efficiency of your Kafka service. To learn more about Quotas and how to add quotas, see [Quotas documentation](https://docs.aiven.io/docs/products/kafka/concepts/kafka-quotas).
