Metadata management - Amazon Managed Streaming for Apache Kafka
Services or capabilities described in Amazon Web Services documentation might vary by Region. To see the differences applicable to the China Regions, see Getting Started with Amazon Web Services in China (PDF).

Metadata management

Amazon MSK supports Apache ZooKeeper or KRaft metadata management modes.

From Apache Kafka version 3.7.x on Amazon MSK, you can create clusters that use KRaft mode instead of ZooKeeper mode. KRaft-based clusters rely on controllers within Kafka to manage metadata.
