You can now scale your HAQM Managed Streaming for Apache Kafka (MSK) clusters on demand by changing the size or family of your brokers without reassigning Apache Kafka partitions. Changing the size or family of your brokers gives you the flexibility to adjust your MSK cluster’s compute capacity based on changes in your workloads, without interrupting your cluster I/O. In just a few clicks, you can scale up or scale down your HAQM MSK clusters’ compute capacity that includes CPU, memory, network throughput and I/O capacity. You will be charged for the chosen broker size or family per HAQM MSK standard pricing.
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 fully 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.
Support for changing broker type is provided in all AWS Regions where HAQM MSK is available.
