News
Amazon MSK Replicator now supports data replication from external Apache Kafka clusters to MSK Standard brokers, extending capabilities previously limited to MSK Express brokers.
- Replicate data from on-premises, self-managed, or third-party Kafka clusters to MSK Standard brokers
- Support SASL/SCRAM and mutual TLS (mTLS) authentication for external cluster connections
- Replicate bidirectionally from MSK Standard to external Kafka clusters for failback scenarios
- Retain original Kafka topic names and automatically prevent infinite replication loops
- Synchronize consumer group offsets bidirectionally for independent producer/consumer migration
- Available in all AWS Regions where MSK Replicator is supported
This launch enables seamless workload migration, disaster recovery, and hybrid/multi-cloud data distribution without managing custom replication infrastructure.
