Amazon Managed Streaming for Apache Kafka (Amazon MSK) Serverless now supports writes and reads from Kafka clients written in all programming languages. Administrators can simplify and standardize access control to Kafka resources using AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM). Amazon MSK’s IAM support is based on SASL/OAUTHBEARER, an open standard for authorization and authentication. Amazon MSK Serverless is a cluster type for Amazon MSK that allows you to run Apache Kafka without having to manage and scale cluster capacity. MSK Serverless automatically provisions and scales compute and storage resources, so you can use Apache Kafka on demand.
Developers can now build applications on Amazon MSK Serverless with minimal code changes using Amazon MSK’s open-sourced client helper libraries and code samples for popular languages, including Java, Python, Go, JavaScript, and .NET. Customers can also use standard IAM access controls such as temporary role-based credentials and precisely scoped permission policies more broadly with the multiple language support on Amazon MSK Serverless.
Amazon MSK Serverless support for clients in all programming languages is available at no additional cost in all regions where Amazon MSK Serverless is supported. To learn more, visit our launch blog and the Amazon MSK Developer Guide.
