Summary of Changes

Hello @qqqdan, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request significantly expands the documentation for TiDB Cloud's changefeed feature, specifically targeting Premium instances. It introduces new guides covering the core functionality of changefeeds, their integration with external systems like Apache Kafka and MySQL, and the secure setup of private endpoints. Additionally, the billing information has been updated to reflect the new Changefeed Capacity Units (CCUs) model for Premium, ensuring users have clear and distinct pricing and performance details.

Highlights

  • Premium Changefeed Overview: New documentation introduces the changefeed feature for TiDB Cloud Premium instances, detailing management operations and states.
  • Kafka Integration Guide: A comprehensive guide has been added for streaming data from TiDB Cloud Premium to Apache Kafka, including network setup and configuration.
  • MySQL Integration Guide: New documentation outlines the process for replicating data from TiDB Cloud Premium to MySQL, covering prerequisites and setup.
  • Private Endpoint Setup: Instructions are now provided for configuring private endpoints to enable secure data streaming for changefeeds in Premium instances.
  • Billing Model Update: The changefeed billing documentation has been updated to distinguish between RCU (Dedicated) and CCU (Premium) models, with new CCU specifications.

Code Review

This pull request introduces comprehensive documentation for the TiDB Cloud Premium changefeed feature, including a new overview, guides for sinking data to Apache Kafka and MySQL, and instructions for setting up private endpoints. The billing documentation is also updated to reflect costs for this new feature. My review focuses on improving clarity, fixing typos, and ensuring adherence to the repository's style guide, such as using sentence case for headings.

3. Select a new specification.
4. Click **Submit**.

It takes about 10 minutes to complete the scaling process (during which the changfeed works normally) and a few seconds to switch to the new specification (during which the changefeed will be paused and resumed automatically).

## Changefeed states

The state of a replication task represents the running state of the replication task. During the running process, replication tasks might fail with errors, or be manually paused or resumed. These behaviors can lead to changes of the replication task state.

Private Connect leverages **Private Link** or **Private Service Connect** technologies from cloud providers to enable resources in your VPC to connect to services in other VPCs using private IP addresses, as if those services were hosted directly within your VPC.

TiDB Cloud currently supports Private Connect only for self-hosted Kafka. It does not support direct integration with MSK, Confluent Kafka, or other Kafka SaaS services. To connect to these Kafka SaaS services via Private Connect, you can deploy a [kafka-proxy](https://github.com/grepplabs/kafka-proxy) as an intermediary, effectively exposing the Kafka service as self-hosted Kafka.

3. Test the load balancer in the bastion node. This example only tests the Kafka bootstrap. Because the load balancer is listening on the Kafka EXTERNAL listener, the addresses of EXTERNAL advertised listeners can not be resolved in the bastion node. Note down the `kafka-lb` DNS name from the load balancer detail page, for example `kafka-lb-77405fa57191adcb.elb.us-west-2.amazonaws.com`. Execute the script in the bastion node.
