Amazon MSK Connect now supports restarting connectors

Amazon MSK Connect Updates

Amazon MSK Connect now supports restarting newly created connectors and their tasks, enabling fast recovery for streaming data pipelines. This feature allows you to recover from failures without downtime or operational overhead.

What to do

• Restart your connector and all its tasks.
• Selectively restart only the failed tasks.
• Restart connectors with no failed tasks to recover from transient issues or to pick up changes in external systems or dependencies.

This restart capability is available at no additional cost through the Amazon MSK Console, AWS CLI, AWS SDK, and AWS CDK in all AWS Regions where Amazon MSK Connect is available.
