Amazon Managed Streaming for Apache Kafka (MSK) now allows you to set up multi-VPC and cross-account private connectivity on Amazon MSK clusters configured with any of the MSK supported authentication mechanisms.
Multi-VPC private connectivity (powered by Amazon PrivateLink) allows you to easily establish cross-VPC and cross-account connectivity between your Apache Kafka clients and your Amazon MSK cluster, while keeping all traffic within the Amazon Web Services China Network. With a few clicks, you can turn on multi-VPC private connectivity for one or more authentication modes on your cluster. This feature was previously supported only on clusters with client authentication enabled. With this launch, we have extended the multi-VPC functionality for Amazon MSK clusters that do not use client authentication. Your clients that do not use authentication can continue to do so while you can configure multi-VPC connectivity for other clients that have configured authentication.
This feature is now available in Amazon Web Services China (Beijing) region, operated by Sinnet and in Amazon Web Services China (Ningxia) region, operated by NWCD. To learn how to get started with multi-VPC private connectivity, visit the Amazon MSK Developer Guide.
