Amazon MSK Replicator Now Supports External Kafka Clusters

Amazon MSK Replicator now supports data replication from external Apache Kafka clusters to Amazon MSK Express brokers. This simplifies workload migration, supports disaster recovery, and enables data distribution across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.

MSK Replicator automates data replication between Kafka clusters, eliminating the need for custom replication infrastructure. MSK Express brokers offer up to 3 times more throughput, scale up to 20 times faster, and reduce recovery time by 90 percent compared to Standard brokers.

What to do

• Use MSK Replicator to replicate data from external Kafka clusters to Express brokers on Amazon MSK.
• Replicate data from Amazon MSK Express to external Kafka clusters for reliable failback or multi-cloud data distribution.
• Watch a demo on YouTube to see it in action.
• Visit the MSK Replicator documentation, product page, pricing page, and AWS blog post to learn more.
