Create a provisioned Amazon MSK cluster

Important

You can't change the VPC for a provisioned MSK cluster after you create the cluster.

Before you can create a provisioned Amazon MSK cluster, you need to have an Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) and set up subnets within that VPC.

You need two subnets in two different Availability Zones in the US West (N. California) Region. In all other Regions where Amazon MSK is available, you can specify either two or three subnets. Your subnets must all be in different Availability Zones. When you create a provisioned MSK cluster, Amazon MSK distributes the broker nodes evenly over the subnets that you specify.
