MSK Replicator now supports mutual TLS (mTLS) authentication for replication from external Apache Kafka clusters to MSK Express brokers
Amazon MSK Replicator now supports mutual TLS (mTLS) authentication for data replication from external Apache Kafka clusters - including on-premises, self-managed on AWS, or other cloud providers - to Amazon MSK Express brokers . With this capability, external Apache Kafka clusters configured with mTLS authentication can now use MSK Replicator to migrate workloads to MSK Express brokers, support disaster recovery by using MSK Express-based clusters as a failover or backup target, and enable data distribution across hybrid and multi-cloud environments. MSK Replicator is a feature of Amazon MSK
The increasing complexity of enterprise data architectures and the need for secure, seamless data mobility across hybrid and multi-cloud environments are driving this development.
This update enhances the flexibility and security for enterprises managing data streams across diverse infrastructure, enabling easier migration and disaster recovery for mission-critical applications.
Organizations can now more securely and reliably integrate their existing on-premises or other cloud Kafka clusters with AWS's managed streaming solutions, particularly MSK Express.
