AWS IAM

How to configure AWS IAM Authentication

UI for Apache Kafka comes with a built-in aws-msk-iam-auth library.

You could pass SASL configs in the properties section for each cluster.

More details could be found here: aws-msk-iam-auth

Please replace

• <KAFKA_URL> with broker list

• <PROFILE_NAME> with your AWS profile
