Set up automatic scaling using the Amazon MSK Amazon Web Services Management Console

This process describes how to use the Amazon MSK console to implement automatic scaling for storage.

  1. Sign in to the Amazon Web Services Management Console, and open the Amazon MSK console at https://console.amazonaws.cn/msk/home?region=us-east-1#/home/.

  2. In the list of clusters, choose your cluster. This takes you to a page that lists details about the cluster.

  3. In the Auto scaling for storage section, choose Configure.

  4. Create and name an auto-scaling policy. Specify the storage utilization target, the maximum storage capacity, and the target metric.

  5. Choose Save changes.

When you save and enable the new policy, the policy becomes active for the cluster. Amazon MSK then expands the cluster's storage when the storage utilization target is reached.
