Get the bootstrap brokers using the AWS Management Console

This process describes how to get bootstrap brokers for a cluster using the AWS Management Console. The term bootstrap brokers refers to a list of brokers that an Apache Kafka client can use as a starting point to connect to the cluster. This list doesn't necessarily include all of the brokers in a cluster.

  1. Sign in to the AWS Management Console, and open the Amazon MSK console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/msk/home?region=us-east-1#/home/.

  2. The table shows all the clusters for the current region under this account. Choose the name of a cluster to view its description.

  3. On the Cluster summary page, choose View client information. This shows you the bootstrap brokers, as well as the Apache ZooKeeper connection string.
