Amazon MSK adds support for Apache Kafka version 3.9

Amazon Managed Streaming for Apache Kafka (Amazon MSK) now supports Apache Kafka version 3.9, which allows users to retain tiered data when disabling Tiered Storage at the topic level. Consumer applications can continue to read historical data from the remote log start offset (Rx) while maintaining continuous log offsets across both local and remote storage.
Along with this feature, Apache Kafka version 3.9 includes various bug fixes and improvements. For more details, please refer to the Apache Kafka release notes for version 3.9.

Amazon MSK is a fully managed service for Apache Kafka and Kafka Connect that makes it easier for you to build and run applications that use Apache Kafka as a data store. Amazon MSK is compatible with Apache Kafka, which enables you to quickly migrate your existing Apache Kafka workloads to Amazon MSK with confidence or build new ones from scratch. With Amazon MSK, you can spend more time innovating on streaming applications and less time managing Apache Kafka clusters. To learn how to get started, see the Amazon MSK Developer Guide.

Support for Apache Kafka version 3.9 is available in all AWS regions where Amazon MSK is available.
