AWSCertCP: Amazon Managed Streaming for Apache Kafka (Amazon MSK), Amazon OpenSearch

Amazon Managed Streaming for Apache Kafka (Amazon MSK)

Amazon MSK makes it easy to ingest and process streaming data in real time with fully managed Apache Kafka.

Usecases:

Ingest and process log and event streams: Capture events with MSK, and then express your stream processing logic within Apache Zeppelin notebooks to derive insights from data streams in milliseconds.

Run centralized state or data buses: Use Amazon MSK and the Apache Kafka log structure to form real-time, centralized, and privately accessible data buses.

Power your event-driven systems: Ingest and respond to digital changes occurring throughout your applications and business infrastructure in real time.

Eliminate operational overhead, including the provisioning, configuration, and maintenance of highly available Apache Kafka and Kafka Connect clusters.

Use applications and tools built for Apache Kafka out of the box (no code changes required), and scale cluster capacity automatically.

Easily deploy secure, compliant, and production-ready applications using native AWS integrations.

Keep costs low with Amazon MSK. With pay-as-you-go pricing, it is offered as low as 1/13 the cost of other providers using features such as Tiered Storage and Graviton instances.
