Amazon MSK now offers AI Agent Skills to help developers operate MSK efficiently and accelerate migrations to MSK

Amazon MSK now offers AI Agent Skills that provide AI coding assistants with expert, up-to-date guidance for operating Amazon MSK. These skills offer expert guidance for common operational tasks such as troubleshooting, sizing, configuring, monitoring, and migrating from external Kafka clusters. Teams can use these skills to keep their clusters healthy and performant, and to migrate their external Kafka workloads to MSK Express, which offers up to three times more throughput per broker, 20 times faster scaling, and a 90% reduction in recovery time compared to standard brokers running Apache Kafka. The skills turn tasks that once required specialized knowledge into a guided experience developers can complete quickly on their own. You can use the MSK skills with your existing AI coding agent-Kiro, Claude Code, or Cursor. To get started, configure the Agent Toolkit for AWS using the AWS CLI, then ask your coding agent a question, such as 'What broker type and size should I use for my MSK cluster?' or 'Is my Kafka cluster compatible with MSK Express?'
