Can I Modify the Port for Accessing a Kafka Instance?

No. You must access a Kafka instance through one of the following ports:

  • Accessing a Kafka instance without SASL:

    The port varies with the access mode:

    • Intra-VPC access using IPv6 addresses: port 9192

    • Public access: port 9094

    • Cross-VPC access using a VPC endpoint: port 9011

    • Cross-VPC access using a peering connection: port: 9092.

    • DNAT access: port 9011

  • Accessing a Kafka instance with SASL:

    The port varies with the access mode:

    • Intra-VPC access using IPv4 addresses: port 9093

    • Intra-VPC access using IPv6 addresses: port 9193

    • Public access: port 9095

    • Cross-VPC access using a VPC endpoint: port 9011

    • Cross-VPC access using a peering connection: port: 9093.
