Amazon MSK Replicator adds OAuth 2.0 authentication for external Apache Kafka clusters
Amazon MSK Replicator now supports OAuth 2.0 (SASL/OAUTHBEARER) authentication, allowing data replication from external Apache Kafka clusters to Amazon MSK Provisioned clusters. This enhancement enables migration, disaster recovery, and hybrid/multi-cloud data distribution for clusters configured with OAuth/OIDC. It builds on existing SASL/SCRAM and mTLS support, offering more flexibility for engineers managing Kafka replication. The new capability is generally available in all AWS regions where MSK Replicator operates.
