Amazon Managed Streaming for Apache Kafka (Amazon MSK) now offers three new APIs (CreateTopic, UpdateTopic, and DeleteTopic), making it easier to manage your Kafka topics for your MSK provisioned clusters without the need to set up and maintain Kafka admin clients. You can programmatically create, update, and delete Kafka topics using your familiar interfaces including AWS CLI, AWS SDKs, and AWS CloudFormation. With these APIs, you can define topic properties such as replication factor and partition count, along with configuration settings like retention and cleanup policies. The new APIs together with the ListTopics and DescribeTopic APIs are integrated into the Amazon MSK console, bringing all topic operstions to one place. You can now create or update topics with just a few clicks using guided defaults while gaining comprehensive visibility into topic configurations, partition-level information, and metrics.
These MSK topic management capabilities are available at no additional cost for all Amazon MSK provisioned clusters using Kafka version 3.6 and above across AWS regions where Amazon MSK is offered. To start using these features, you’ll need to set up the appropriate IAM permissions. To learn more on how to get started, see the Amazon MSK Developer Guide.
