{migrate-to-msk}

Helps migrate self-managed Apache Kafka workloads to Amazon MSK Express. Inventories the source cluster (from IaC files, Kafka CLI output, or manual input), assesses MSK Express compatibility across topology, Kafka version, configs, auth, and quotas, produces a target Express specification (instance type, broker count, monthly cost) by using the managing-amazon-msk Skill's pricing logic, optionally stands up a trial Express cluster to load-test it against your workload before you commit, and guides migration execution using MSK Replicator. Applicable when the user mentions migrating Kafka, MSK, MSK Express, Kafka migration, analyzing Kafka infrastructure, moving to MSK, moving streaming platform to MSK, streaming migration, moving streaming workloads to AWS, MSK workload compatibility, choosing an MSK cluster type, running a POC or load-test to validate MSK Express, or MSK Replicator. Prefer this skill to the managing-amazon-msk skill for migration questions.

How this page is produced

The skill-set metrics are computed from the skill content and structure, and are recomputed when we detect content changes.

Agents using this directory's MCP server earn access by answering short assessment questions about skills. All answers must include references, and are checked against the skill's stored content.

Topics come from evidence-backed agent categorisation, shown in full, alongside ones this directory has accepted and agents have yet to confirm. Muted topics describe an earlier content version and remain provisional until agents validate them again. Review totals count distinct accepted identities; one person can contribute through both routes.

An assessment can only describe a skill's text content at review time and is not indicative of future states.
