Modern Workspace Pro 2 October 2025No CommentsAmazon Web Services

Amazon Managed Streaming for Apache Kafka (Amazon MSK) has added support for Express brokers in eight additional AWS Regions: AWS GovCloud (US-West), AWS GovCloud (US-East), Asia Pacific (Jakarta), Asia Pacific (Melbourne), Asia Pacific (Osaka), Europe (Zurich), Israel (Tel Aviv), and Asia Pacific (Hong Kong).

Express brokers are a new broker type for Amazon MSK Provisioned designed to deliver up to 3x more throughput per broker, scale up to 20x faster, and reduce recovery time by 90% as compared to standard Apache Kafka brokers. Express brokers come pre-configured with Kafka best practices by default, support all Kafka APIs, and provide the same low-latency performance that Amazon MSK customers expect, so they can continue using existing client applications without any changes.

You can now create an MSK cluster with Express brokers in these AWS Regions from the Amazon MSK console. To get started visit, the MSK product page, pricing page, and the Amazon MSK Developer Guide.
