Amazon MSK Connect and AWS Glue Schema Registry are now available in the AWS European Sovereign Cloud (Germany) region

Amazon Managed Streaming for Apache Kafka (MSK)AWS · Analytics

Starting today, Amazon MSK Connect and the AWS Glue Schema Registry are available in the AWS European Sovereign Cloud (Germany) region. Together with Amazon MSK Standard brokers, already available in the region, these launches give customers running streaming workloads on the AWS European Sovereign Cloud a more complete set of tools to build, connect, and govern their Apache Kafka applications.

MSK Connect lets you run fully managed Kafka Connect clusters with Amazon MSK - deploy, monitor, and scale connectors that move data between Apache Kafka and external systems like databases, file systems, and search indices, with no infrastructure to provision, automatic scaling, and pay-as-you-go pricing. Complementing it, the AWS Glue Schema Registry - a serverless, free feature of AWS Glue - lets you validate and control the evolution of streaming data using Apache Avro, JSON, and Protobuf schemas. Acting as a centralized repository for data format and structure across decoupled applications, it reduces data validation logic, cross-team coordination, and downstream failures, and integrates with C# and Java applications built for Amazon MSK, Amazon Kinesis Data Streams, Amazon Managed Service for Apache Flink, and AWS Lambda.

To get started, visit the Amazon MSK Developer Guide and the AWS Glue Schema Registry documentation.
