This seven-minute video introduces AWS Transform for building a migration business case from self-managed Apache Kafka to Amazon MSK with Express brokers.
The demonstration follows the assessment workflow: creating a workspace and job, uploading an infrastructure inventory, reviewing discovered Kafka resources, and supplying missing throughput information through chat. It explains how cluster topology, peak traffic, partition counts, retention, and utilization assumptions inform broker sizing and cost estimates. AWS Transform also assesses compatibility and highlights findings that require action or further review.
The demo concludes with three deliverables serving different audiences: a workbook with technical recommendations, cost breakdowns, and compatibility findings; a presentation supporting executive decisions; and a report summarizing assessment scope and cost comparisons for planning and finance teams.
The takeaway: inventory data and a guided conversation give your teams a clearer starting point for MSK migration planning, with recommendations and assumptions to validate before implementation.
