Amazon Managed Streaming for Apache Kafka (Amazon MSK) now offers an option to provision storage throughput for Amazon MSK, enabling customers with high throughput workloads to seamlessly scale I/O without having to provision additional brokers. By provisioning up to 1000 MiB/s of throughput to Amazon MSK storage volumes, you can scale I/O requirements past 250 MiB/s without having to provision additional brokers. When configured, you pay a low rate for the amount of storage throughput provisioned in the clusters.
You can enable provisioned storage throughput in a few clicks for new or existing clusters. Provisioned storage throughput is supported in all AWS regions where Amazon MSK is available except China regions.
