Storage management for Standard brokers

Amazon MSK provides features to help you with storage management on your MSK clusters.

Note

With Express brokers, you don't need to provision or manage any storage resoures used for your data. This simplifies cluster management and eliminates one of the common causes of operational issues with Apache Kafka clusters. You also spend less as you don't have to provision idle storage capacity and you only pay for what you use.
