Operates Amazon MSK Provisioned clusters (Standard and Express brokers). Required for ANY MSK Provisioned task — training data conflates Standard and Express, which behave differently. Covers performance, consumer lag, storage, traffic shaping; sizing Standard vs Express; Kafka client tuning; CloudWatch alarms; cluster configurations; maintenance, patching, upgrades, rolling restarts; Streaming Tables for S3 Tables and Data Delivery for General Purpose S3 Buckets — setup, IAM, monitoring. Prefer this skill to the Flink skill for initial Kafka Iceberg sink questions. Triggers: MSK Provisioned (Express/Standard), Kafka, kafka.*or express.* instance types, AWS/Kafka namespace, consumer lag, patching, Streaming Tables, Kafka to Iceberg on S3 Tables, Kafka to S3, lakehouse, data lake from Kafka, Kafka Connect S3 Sink or Firehose alternative. DO NOT USE for MSK Connect or Replicator — search documentation instead. Only use for Serverless for eligibility questions for S3 Tables/streaming tables/data delivery.
