Amazon MSK is a fully managed Apache Kafka service that makes it easy to build and run applications that use Apache Kafka to process streaming data. This guide provides information to help developers understand how Amazon MSK works and how to use it effectively in their applications.
At a high level, Amazon MSK provides a fully managed Apache Kafka cluster that is provisioned and operated by AWS. This means that you don't have to worry about provisioning EC2 instances, configuring network settings, managing Kafka brokers, or performing ongoing maintenance tasks. Instead, you can focus on building your application and let Amazon MSK handle the infrastructure. Amazon MSK automatically provisions the necessary compute, storage, and network resources, and provides features like automatic scaling, high availability, and failover to ensure that your Kafka cluster is reliable and highly available. This guide covers the key components of Amazon MSK and how you can use it to build streaming data applications.
