Amazon MSK Connect now supports pausing and resuming connectors

News



Amazon MSK Connect now supports pausing and resuming connectors, allowing temporary suspension of record processing without deletion or recreation.

  • Pause connectors during maintenance on source databases or sink targets
  • Investigate upstream or downstream issues without losing connector state
  • Paused connectors retain configuration, capacity settings, and committed offsets
  • Tasks resume processing from last committed offsets when restarted
  • Available at no additional cost via Console, CLI, SDK, and CDK

This eliminates the need to delete and recreate connectors, reducing operational overhead and risk during maintenance windows.
