Amazon MSK Replicator is now available in AWS GovCloud (US-East, US-West) Regions

Amazon MSK Replicator in AWS GovCloud Regions

You can now use Amazon MSK Replicator in the AWS GovCloud (US-East, US-West) Regions to replicate streaming data across Amazon MSK clusters and from external Apache Kafka clusters including on-premises, self-managed on AWS, or other cloud providers to Amazon MSK Provisioned clusters.

MSK Replicator is a feature of Amazon MSK that automates data replication between Kafka clusters, eliminating the need to manage custom replication infrastructure or configure open-source tools. With MSK Replicator, you can easily build regionally resilient streaming applications for increased availability and business continuity.

MSK Replicator provides automatic asynchronous replication across Kafka clusters, eliminating the need to write custom code, manage infrastructure, or setup cross-region networking. MSK Replicator automatically scales the underlying resources so that you can replicate data on-demand without having to monitor or scale capacity. MSK Replicator also replicates the necessary Kafka metadata including topic configurations, Access Control Lists (ACLs), and consumer group offsets. If an unexpected event occurs in a region, you can failover to the other AWS Region and seamlessly resume processing.

What to do

• Get started with MSK Replicator from the Amazon MSK console or the Amazon CLI.
• Visit the MSK Replicator documentation, product page, and pricing page to learn more.
