In a few clicks you can take advantage of new Apache Kafka features and bug fixes by upgrading the version of Apache Kafka deployed on new and existing HAQM Managed Streaming for Apache Kafka (HAQM MSK) clusters. HAQM MSK uses rolling upgrade best practices to maintain high availability and support cluster I/O throughout a version upgrade. See the HAQM MSK version upgrade user guide to learn about version upgrades and how to ensure clients maintain high availability throughout an upgrade.
HAQM MSK is a fully managed service for Apache Kafka that makes it easy for you to build and run applications that use Apache Kafka as a data store. HAQM MSK is 100% compatible with Apache Kafka, which enables you to quickly migrate your existing Apache Kafka workloads to HAQM MSK with confidence or build new ones from scratch. With HAQM MSK, you spend more time innovating on applications and less time managing clusters. To learn how to get started, see the HAQM MSK Developer Guide.
