How to create MSK Cluster configuration with Cloud Formation?

Question

I'm creating MSK with Cloud Formation. By the way, I can't find how to create MSK Cluster configuration, in Cloud Formation documents.

So how can I create MSK Cluster configuration with Cloud Formation or do I can't create MSK Cluster configuration with Cloud Formation?

If there are some references about that, please answer me.

Answer 1

This is not possible using regular CloudFormation resources. See here for an open feature request to add it.

There are however still options if you want to provision this using CloudFormation, for example:

• Using a Custom Resource
• Using an Extension, e.g. by creating your own

Both of these are, however, a lot more work than simply using a regular CloudFormation resource.
