Posted on: Dec 20, 2024

Amazon Managed Streaming for Apache Kafka Connect (Amazon MSK Connect) now supports Apache Kafka Connect version 3.7 for new connectors. Apache Kafka Connect version 3.7 includes several bug fixes and performance improvements. For more details and a complete list of improvements and bug fixes, see the Apache Kafka release notes for version 3.7.

Amazon MSK Connect is a feature of Amazon MSK that allows you to run fully managed Apache Kafka Connect workloads on AWS. This feature makes it easy to deploy, monitor, and automatically scale connectors that move data between Apache Kafka clusters and external systems such as databases, file systems, and search indices. MSK Connect is fully compatible with Kafka Connect, enabling you to lift and shift your Kafka Connect applications with zero code changes. With MSK Connect, you only pay for connectors you are running, without the need for cluster infrastructure. To learn how to get started, see the Amazon MSK Connect Developer Guide.

Support for Apache Kafka Connect version 3.7 is offered in all AWS regions where Amazon MSK Connect is available.
