# Channels
All AsyncAPI specs **MUST** include definitions for the channels (Kafka topics) including:
* Description of the topic
* Servers in which the topic is available
* This is a reference to one of the server identifiers included in the servers section
* publish/subscribe operations
* Operation ID
* Summary or short description for the operation
* Description for the operation
* Security schemes
* Tags
* External Docs
* Message details
In addition to those supported fields, it **MAY** be possible to use extension attributes (using the x- prefix) to specify specific configuration parameters and metadata. In so, the recommended attributes to use are :
* x-metadata
* To include additional configuration specific to your team or project
* x-configurations
* To include Kafka configuration parameters and producers/consumers
As the parameters can be different per environment, it is very convenient to add an additional level for the environment
As part of the publish/subscribe operations, the spec **SHOULD** specify the different Kafka clients currently consuming from the different topics for each cluster/environment. For this, the extended attributes x-producers and x-consumers will be used.
