Introducing Amazon MSK Replicator – Fully Managed Replication across MSK Clusters in Same or Different AWS Regions
Blog
This article introduces Amazon MSK Replicator, a new capability in Amazon Managed Streaming for Apache Kafka (Amazon MSK) that makes it easier to set up reliable cross-Region and same-Region replication between MSK clusters. It allows you to implement active-passive or active-active cluster topologies to increase the resiliency of your Kafka applications across Regions.
Specifically, the article covers:
- How to create an MSK Replicator across AWS Regions using the AWS Management Console, including setting up network connectivity, access control, and configuring topic and consumer group replication settings.
- Testing the cross-Region replication by creating a topic and sending messages to the source cluster, then consuming the replicated messages from the target cluster.
- Monitoring the MSK Replicator using Amazon CloudWatch metrics.
- Availability and pricing details for the new MSK Replicator feature.
- Use cases for MSK Replicator, such as implementing disaster recovery, serving data closer to end consumers, and centralizing data from multiple clusters for analytics.
