Amazon MSK Replicator Now Available in Five Additional AWS Regions

You can now use Amazon MSK Replicator to replicate streaming data across Amazon Managed Streaming for Apache Kafka (Amazon MSK) clusters in five additional AWS Regions: Asia Pacific (Thailand), Mexico (Central), Asia Pacific (Taipei), Canada West (Calgary), and Europe (Spain).

MSK Replicator is a feature of Amazon MSK that enables you to reliably replicate data across Amazon MSK clusters in different or the same AWS Region(s) in a few clicks. With MSK Replicator, you can easily build regionally resilient streaming applications for increased availability and business continuity. MSK Replicator provides automatic asynchronous replication across MSK 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.

You can get started with MSK Replicator from the Amazon MSK console or the Amazon CLI. To learn more, visit the MSK Replicator product page, pricing page, and documentation.
