Create an MSK Provisioned cluster with a custom Amazon MSK configuration using the AWS CLI

For information about custom Amazon MSK configurations and how to create them, see Amazon MSK Provisioned configuration.

1. Save the following JSON to a file, replacing configuration-arn with the ARN of the configuration that you want to use to create the cluster.

   {
       "Arn": configuration-arn,
       "Revision": 1
   }

2. Run the create-cluster command and use the configuration-info option to point to the JSON file you saved in the previous step. The following is an example.

   aws kafka create-cluster --cluster-name ExampleClusterName --broker-node-group-info file://brokernodegroupinfo.json --kafka-version "2.8.1" --number-of-broker-nodes 3 --enhanced-monitoring PER_TOPIC_PER_BROKER --configuration-info file://configuration.json

   The following is an example of a successful response after running this command.

   {
       "ClusterArn": "arn:aws:kafka:us-east-1:123456789012:cluster/CustomConfigExampleCluster/abcd1234-abcd-dcba-4321-a1b2abcd9f9f-2",
       "ClusterName": "CustomConfigExampleCluster",
       "State": "CREATING"
   }
