Attend a webinar to learn more about HAQM Managed Streaming for Apache Kafka (HAQM MSK).
Getting started with HAQM Managed Streaming for Apache Kafka is easy. Within the AWS management console, CLI, or SDK, provide your subnets you want an HAQM MSK cluster to privately connect to, specify the broker quantity and storage you need per broker, and create your Apache Kafka cluster.
With HAQM MSK there are no upfront commitments or minimum fees. You pay as you go for broker instance and storage usage. Broker instances start at $0.21/hr and broker storage is $0.10 per GB-month. In-cluster data transfer and a fully managed, highly available Apache Zookeeper cluster are included with every Apache Kafka cluster at no additional cost.
HAQM MSK supports Apache Kafka version 1.1.1, and offers HAQM EC2 M5 instances as Apache Kafka brokers. Visit the HAQM MSK webpage to learn more.
HAQM MSK is available in public preview in the US East (N. Virginia) AWS Region.
