v2.273.0

Amazon Managed Streaming for Apache Kafka Construct Library ​

Version 2.273.0-alpha.0

Separate package

@aws-cdk/aws-msk-alpha is not part of aws-cdk-lib — install it separately:

sh
npm install @aws-cdk/aws-msk-alpha
pip install aws-cdk.aws-msk-alpha

This module is experimental (alpha): its API may change in any release, without a major version bump.


cdk-constructs: Experimental

The APIs of higher level constructs in this module are experimental and under active development. They are subject to non-backward compatible changes or removal in any future version. These are not subject to the Semantic Versioning model and breaking changes will be announced in the release notes. This means that while you may use them, you may need to update your source code when upgrading to a newer version of this package.


Amazon MSK is a fully managed service that makes it easy for you to build and run applications that use Apache Kafka to process streaming data.

The following example creates an MSK Cluster.

ts
declare const vpc: ec2.Vpc;
const cluster = new msk.Cluster(this, 'Cluster', {
  clusterName: 'myCluster',
  kafkaVersion: msk.KafkaVersion.V4_1_X_KRAFT,
  vpc,
});
python
# vpc: ec2.Vpc

cluster = msk.Cluster(self, "Cluster",
    cluster_name="myCluster",
    kafka_version=msk.KafkaVersion.V4_1_X_KRAFT,
    vpc=vpc
)
java
Vpc vpc;

Cluster cluster = Cluster.Builder.create(this, "Cluster")
        .clusterName("myCluster")
        .kafkaVersion(KafkaVersion.V4_1_X_KRAFT)
        .vpc(vpc)
        .build();
csharp
Vpc vpc;

var cluster = new Cluster(this, "Cluster", new ClusterProps {
    ClusterName = "myCluster",
    KafkaVersion = KafkaVersion.V4_1_X_KRAFT,
    Vpc = vpc
});
go
var vpc Vpc

cluster := msk.NewCluster(this, jsii.String("Cluster"), &ClusterProps{
	ClusterName: jsii.String("myCluster"),
	KafkaVersion: msk.KafkaVersion_V4_1_X_KRAFT(),
	Vpc: Vpc,
})

Allowing Connections ​

To control who can access the Cluster, use the .connections attribute. For a list of ports used by MSK, refer to the MSK documentation.

ts
declare const vpc: ec2.Vpc;
const cluster = new msk.Cluster(this, 'Cluster', {
  clusterName: 'myCluster',
  kafkaVersion: msk.KafkaVersion.V4_1_X_KRAFT,
  vpc,
});

cluster.connections.allowFrom(
  ec2.Peer.ipv4('1.2.3.4/8'),
  ec2.Port.tcp(2181),
);
cluster.connections.allowFrom(
  ec2.Peer.ipv4('1.2.3.4/8'),
  ec2.Port.tcp(9094),
);
python
# vpc: ec2.Vpc

cluster = msk.Cluster(self, "Cluster",
    cluster_name="myCluster",
    kafka_version=msk.KafkaVersion.V4_1_X_KRAFT,
    vpc=vpc
)

cluster.connections.allow_from(
    ec2.Peer.ipv4("1.2.3.4/8"),
    ec2.Port.tcp(2181))
cluster.connections.allow_from(
    ec2.Peer.ipv4("1.2.3.4/8"),
    ec2.Port.tcp(9094))
java
Vpc vpc;

Cluster cluster = Cluster.Builder.create(this, "Cluster")
        .clusterName("myCluster")
        .kafkaVersion(KafkaVersion.V4_1_X_KRAFT)
        .vpc(vpc)
        .build();

cluster.connections.allowFrom(Peer.ipv4("1.2.3.4/8"), Port.tcp(2181));
cluster.connections.allowFrom(Peer.ipv4("1.2.3.4/8"), Port.tcp(9094));
csharp
Vpc vpc;

var cluster = new Cluster(this, "Cluster", new ClusterProps {
    ClusterName = "myCluster",
    KafkaVersion = KafkaVersion.V4_1_X_KRAFT,
    Vpc = vpc
});

cluster.Connections.AllowFrom(Peer.Ipv4("1.2.3.4/8"), Port.Tcp(2181));
cluster.Connections.AllowFrom(Peer.Ipv4("1.2.3.4/8"), Port.Tcp(9094));
go
var vpc Vpc

cluster := msk.NewCluster(this, jsii.String("Cluster"), &ClusterProps{
	ClusterName: jsii.String("myCluster"),
	KafkaVersion: msk.KafkaVersion_V4_1_X_KRAFT(),
	Vpc: Vpc,
})

cluster.connections.AllowFrom(ec2.Peer_Ipv4(jsii.String("1.2.3.4/8")), ec2.Port_Tcp(jsii.Number(2181)))
cluster.connections.AllowFrom(ec2.Peer_Ipv4(jsii.String("1.2.3.4/8")), ec2.Port_Tcp(jsii.Number(9094)))

Cluster Endpoints ​

You can use the following attributes to get a list of the Kafka broker or ZooKeeper node endpoints

ts
declare const cluster: msk.Cluster;
new CfnOutput(this, 'BootstrapBrokers', { value: cluster.bootstrapBrokers });
new CfnOutput(this, 'BootstrapBrokersTls', { value: cluster.bootstrapBrokersTls });
new CfnOutput(this, 'BootstrapBrokersSaslScram', { value: cluster.bootstrapBrokersSaslScram });
new CfnOutput(this, 'BootstrapBrokerStringSaslIam', { value: cluster.bootstrapBrokersSaslIam });
new CfnOutput(this, 'ZookeeperConnection', { value: cluster.zookeeperConnectionString });
new CfnOutput(this, 'ZookeeperConnectionTls', { value: cluster.zookeeperConnectionStringTls });
python
# cluster: msk.Cluster

Importing an existing Cluster ​

To import an existing MSK cluster into your CDK app use the .fromClusterArn() method.

ts
const cluster = msk.Cluster.fromClusterArn(this, 'Cluster',
  'arn:aws:kafka:us-west-2:1234567890:cluster/a-cluster/11111111-1111-1111-1111-111111111111-1',
);
python
cluster = msk.Cluster.from_cluster_arn(self, "Cluster", "arn:aws:kafka:us-west-2:1234567890:cluster/a-cluster/11111111-1111-1111-1111-111111111111-1")
java
ICluster cluster = Cluster.fromClusterArn(this, "Cluster", "arn:aws:kafka:us-west-2:1234567890:cluster/a-cluster/11111111-1111-1111-1111-111111111111-1");
csharp
var cluster = Cluster.FromClusterArn(this, "Cluster", "arn:aws:kafka:us-west-2:1234567890:cluster/a-cluster/11111111-1111-1111-1111-111111111111-1");
go
cluster := msk.Cluster_FromClusterArn(this, jsii.String("Cluster"), jsii.String("arn:aws:kafka:us-west-2:1234567890:cluster/a-cluster/11111111-1111-1111-1111-111111111111-1"))

Client Authentication ​

MSK supports the following authentication mechanisms.

TLS ​

To enable client authentication with TLS set the certificateAuthorityArns property to reference your ACM Private CA. More info on Private CAs.

ts
import * as acmpca from 'aws-cdk-lib/aws-acmpca';

declare const vpc: ec2.Vpc;
const cluster = new msk.Cluster(this, 'Cluster', {

  vpc,
  encryptionInTransit: {
    clientBroker: msk.ClientBrokerEncryption.TLS,
  },
  clientAuthentication: msk.ClientAuthentication.tls({
    certificateAuthorities: [
      acmpca.CertificateAuthority.fromCertificateAuthorityArn(
        this,
        'CertificateAuthority',

                .iam(true)
                .build()))
        .build();
csharp
Vpc vpc;

var cluster = new Cluster(this, "cluster", new ClusterProps {
    ClusterName = "myCluster",
    KafkaVersion = KafkaVersion.V4_1_X_KRAFT,
    Vpc = vpc,
    EncryptionInTransit = new EncryptionInTransitConfig {
        ClientBroker = ClientBrokerEncryption.TLS
    },

Logging ​

You can deliver Apache Kafka broker logs to one or more of the following destination types: Amazon CloudWatch Logs, Amazon S3, Amazon Data Firehose.

To configure logs to be sent to an S3 bucket, provide a bucket in the logging config.

ts
declare const vpc: ec2.Vpc;
declare const bucket: s3.IBucket;
const cluster = new msk.Cluster(this, 'cluster', {
  clusterName: 'myCluster',
  kafkaVersion: msk.KafkaVersion.V4_1_X_KRAFT,
  vpc,
  logging: {
    s3: {
      bucket,
    },
  },
});
python
# vpc: ec2.Vpc
# bucket: s3.IBucket

cluster = msk.Cluster(self, "cluster",
    cluster_name="myCluster",
    kafka_version=msk.KafkaVersion.V4_1_X_KRAFT,
    vpc=vpc,
    logging=msk.BrokerLogging(
        s3=msk.S3LoggingConfiguration(
            bucket=bucket
        )
    )
)
java
Vpc vpc;

	Vpc: Vpc,
	Logging: &BrokerLogging{
		S3: &S3LoggingConfiguration{
			Bucket: *Bucket,
		},
	},
})

When the S3 destination is configured, AWS will automatically create an S3 bucket policy that allows the service to write logs to the bucket. This makes it impossible to later update that bucket policy. To have CDK create the bucket policy so that future updates can be made, the @aws-cdk/aws-s3:createDefaultLoggingPolicy feature flag can be used. This can be set in the cdk.json file.

json
{
  "context": {
    "@aws-cdk/aws-s3:createDefaultLoggingPolicy": true
  }
}

Storage Mode ​

You can configure an MSK cluster storage mode using the storageMode property.

Tiered storage is a low-cost storage tier for Amazon MSK that scales to virtually unlimited storage, making it cost-effective to build streaming data applications.

Visit Tiered storage to see the list of compatible Kafka versions and for more details.

ts
declare const vpc: ec2.Vpc;
declare const bucket: s3.IBucket;

const cluster = new msk.Cluster(this, 'cluster', {
  clusterName: 'myCluster',
  kafkaVersion: msk.KafkaVersion.V4_1_X_KRAFT,
  vpc,
  storageMode: msk.StorageMode.TIERED,
});
python
# vpc: ec2.Vpc
# bucket: s3.IBucket

	Vpc: Vpc,
	StorageMode: msk.StorageMode_TIERED,
})

MSK Express Brokers ​

You can create an MSK cluster with Express Brokers by setting the brokerType property to BrokerType.EXPRESS. Express Brokers are a low-cost option for development, testing, and workloads that don't require the high availability guarantees of standard MSK cluster. For more information, see Amazon MSK Express Brokers.

Note: When using Express Brokers, the following constraints apply:

  • Apache Kafka version must be 3.6.x, 3.8.x, 3.9.x, or 4.2.x
  • You must specify the instanceType
  • The VPC must have at least 3 subnets (across 3 AZs)
  • ebsStorageInfo is not supported
  • storageMode is not supported
  • logging is not supported
  • Supported broker sizes: m7g.xlarge, m7g.2xlarge, m7g.4xlarge, m7g.8xlarge, m7g.12xlarge, m7g.16xlarge
ts

MSK Serverless ​

You can also use MSK Serverless by using ServerlessCluster class.

MSK Serverless is a cluster type for Amazon MSK that makes it possible for you to run Apache Kafka without having to manage and scale cluster capacity.

MSK Serverless requires IAM access control for all clusters.

For more infomation, see Use MSK Serverless clusters.

ts
declare const vpc: ec2.Vpc;

const serverlessCluster = new msk.ServerlessCluster(this, 'ServerlessCluster', {
  clusterName: 'MyServerlessCluster',
  vpcConfigs: [
    { vpc },
  ],
});
python
# vpc: ec2.Vpc


serverless_cluster = msk.ServerlessCluster(self, "ServerlessCluster",
    cluster_name="MyServerlessCluster",

    ]
)
java
Vpc vpc;

        .clusterName("MyServerlessCluster")
        .vpcConfigs(List.of(VpcConfig.builder().vpc(vpc).build()))
        .build();
csharp
Vpc vpc;


var serverlessCluster = new ServerlessCluster(this, "ServerlessCluster", new ServerlessClusterProps {
    ClusterName = "MyServerlessCluster",
    VpcConfigs = new [] { new VpcConfig { Vpc = vpc } }
});
go
var vpc Vpc


serverlessCluster := msk.NewServerlessCluster(this, jsii.String("ServerlessCluster"), &ServerlessClusterProps{
	ClusterName: jsii.String("MyServerlessCluster"),
	VpcConfigs: []VpcConfig{
		&VpcConfig{
			Vpc: *Vpc,
