Kafka (2026-10-08)

Added Amazon MSK IAM authentication, along with connection and trigger updates:

  • Added the IAM Access Key and Secret and IAM Role ARN connections for Amazon MSK clusters that use IAM access control
  • Added a required AWS Region dropdown to the IAM Access Key and Secret and IAM Role ARN connections for selecting the region of the Amazon MSK cluster
  • Updated the Schema Registry API Key field on the Basic Authentication connection to a masked password field
  • Updated the Kafka Consumer trigger to group From Beginning, Auto Commit, and Deserialize Keys as Avro into a Consumer Options structured object, and to show Session Timeout (ms) and Heartbeat Interval (ms) as top-level inputs again in place of the Session Timing group
  • Updated the Kafka Consumer trigger to fail the run when the consumer cannot start, such as when it cannot join its consumer group, and to reject a Max Messages value below 1
  • Updated the Publish Messages action to close its broker connection when sending messages fails
