Create an MSK Provisioned cluster - Amazon Managed Streaming for Apache Kafka

Create an MSK Provisioned cluster

Important

You can't change the VPC for an MSK Provisioned cluster after you create the cluster.

Before you can create an MSK Provisioned cluster, you need to have an Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) and set up subnets within that VPC.

For Standard brokers in the US West (N. California) Region, you need two subnets in two different Availability Zones. In all other Regions where Amazon MSK is available, you can specify either two or three subnets. Your subnets must all be in different Availability Zones. For Express brokers, you need three subnets in three different Availability Zones. When you create an MSK Provisioned cluster, Amazon MSK distributes the broker nodes evenly over the subnets that you specify.
