Amazon MSK simplifies configuring custom domain names

feature

Amazon MSK now simplifies configuring custom domain names for its Provisioned clusters by introducing a single configuration property. This new approach eliminates the previous manual, error-prone, per-broker override process, supporting clusters in both ZooKeeper and KRaft modes. It ensures custom domains persist through cluster scaling events, streamlines client configuration during migrations, and aids disaster recovery failover. This feature primarily benefits organizations and engineers requiring stable, customer-controlled endpoints for Apache Kafka clients connecting to MSK.

  • Simplified custom domain name configuration for Amazon MSK

    Amazon MSK now enables custom domain name configuration for Provisioned clusters via a single property, eliminating the need for manual, per-broker `advertised.listeners` overrides. This new method supports clusters in both ZooKeeper and KRaft modes, applies cluster-wide, and ensures domain persistence during scaling, simplifying client connectivity and disaster recovery. Users manage the client connectivity layer (NLB, DNS, certificates), while MSK handles the broker-side configuration with validation checks.
