# MSK Configuration

MSK Configuration in AWS defines customizable settings for Amazon Managed Streaming for Apache Kafka (MSK) clusters. It allows you to create and manage configuration objects that specify Kafka broker properties, such as log retention, replication factors, and performance tuning parameters. These configurations can be applied to one or more MSK clusters, enabling consistent and centralized management of Kafka settings.

aws.kafka_configuration
