# Access Amazon EventBridge Pipes through the Amazon MSK console
<a name="eb-pipes-integration"></a>

Amazon EventBridge Pipes connects sources to targets. Pipes are intended for point-to-point integrations between supported sources and targets, with support for advanced transformations and enrichment. EventBridge Pipes provide a highly scalable way to connect your Amazon MSK cluster to Amazon services such as Step Functions, Amazon SQS, and API Gateway, as well as third-party software as a service (SaaS) applications like Salesforce. 

To set up a pipe, you choose the source, add optional filtering, define optional enrichment, and choose the target for the event data.

On the details page for an Amazon MSK cluster, you can view the pipes that use that cluster as their source. From there, you can also:
+ Launch the EventBridge console to view pipe details.
+ Launch the EventBridge console to create a new pipe with the cluster as its source.

For more information on configuring an Amazon MSK cluster as a pipe source, see [Amazon Managed Streaming for Apache Kafka cluster as a source](https://docs.amazonaws.cn/eventbridge/latest/userguide/eb-pipes-msk.html) in the *Amazon EventBridge User Guide*. For more information about EventBridge Pipes in general, see [EventBridge Pipes](https://docs.amazonaws.cn/eventbridge/latest/userguide/eb-pipes.html).
