Amazon MSK expands support for Graviton3 based M7g instances for Standard and Express brokers in AWS Middle East (UAE) Region

Amazon Managed Streaming for Apache Kafka (Amazon MSK) now supports Graviton3-based M7g instances for both Standard brokers and Express brokers for MSK Provisioned clusters in Middle East (UAE) AWS region.

Graviton M7G instances for Standard brokers deliver up to 24% compute cost savings and up to 29% higher write and read throughput over comparable MSK clusters running on M5 instances. When you use Graviton instance on Express brokers, you can realize even more benefits with up to 3x more throughput per broker, scale up to 20x faster, and reduce recovery time by 90% compared to standard Apache Kafka brokers.
