Amazon MSK Replicator is now available in ten additional AWS Regions

You can now use Amazon MSK Replicator to replicate streaming data across Amazon Managed Streaming for Apache Kafka (Amazon MSK) clusters in ten additional AWS Regions: Middle East (Bahrain), Middle East (UAE), Asia Pacific (Jakarta), Asia Pacific (Hong Kong), Asia Pacific (Osaka), Asia Pacific (Melbourne), Africa (Cape Town), Europe (Milan), Europe (Zurich) and Israel (Tel Aviv).

MSK Replicator is a feature of Amazon MSK that enables you to reliably replicate data across Amazon MSK clusters in different or the same AWS Region(s) in a few clicks. With MSK Replicator, you can easily build regionally resilient streaming applications for increased availability and business continuity. MSK Replicator provides automatic asynchronous replication across MSK clusters, eliminating the need to write custom code, manage infrastructure, or setup cross-region networking. MSK Replicator automatically scales the underlying resources so that you can replicate data on-demand without having to monitor or scale capacity. MSK Replicator also replicates the necessary Kafka metadata including topic configurations, Access Control Lists (ACLs), and consumer group offsets. If an unexpected event occurs in a region, you can failover to the other AWS Region and seamlessly resume processing.

You can get started with MSK Replicator from the Amazon MSK console or the Amazon CLI. With this launch, MSK Replicator is now available in thirty five AWS Regions. To learn more, visit the MSK Replicator documentation, product page, and pricing page.
