Amazon MSK APIs now supports AWS PrivateLink

Amazon Managed Streaming for Apache Kafka (Amazon MSK) APIs now come with AWS PrivateLink support, allowing you to invoke Amazon MSK APIs from within your Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) without traversing the public internet.

By default, all communication between your Apache Kafka clients and your Amazon MSK provisioned clusters is private, and your data never traverses the internet. With this launch, clients can also invoke MSK APIs via a private endpoint. This allows client applications with strict security requirements to perform MSK specific actions, such as fetching bootstrap connection strings or describing cluster details, without needing to communicate over a public connection .

AWS PrivateLink support for Amazon MSK is available in all AWS Regions where Amazon MSK is available. To get started, follow the directions provided in the AWS PrivateLink documentation. To learn more about Amazon MSK, visit the Amazon MSK documentation.
