AmazonMSK AWS Identity Access Management

The Amazon MSK Library for AWS Identity and Access Management enables developers to use AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) to connect to their Amazon Managed Streaming for Apache Kafka (Amazon MSK) clusters. It allows JVM-based Apache Kafka clients to use AWS IAM for authentication and authorization against Amazon MSK clusters that have AWS IAM enabled as an authentication mechanism. This library provides a new Simple Authentication and Security Layer (SASL) mechanism called AWS_MSK_IAM. This new SASL mechanism can be used by Kafka clients to authenticate against Amazon MSK clusters using AWS IAM. After you've downloaded the code from GitHub, you can build it using Gradle. An uber jar containing the library and all its relocated dependencies except the kafka client and slf4j-api can also be built. At runtime, the uber jar expects to find the kafka client library and the sl4j-api library on the classpath.
