Process of Using Kafka¶
Distributed Message Service is a message queuing service that is based on the open-source Apache Kafka. It provides Kafka instances with isolated computing, storage, and bandwidth resources. The following figure shows the process of message production and consumption using a Kafka instance.

Creating a User and Granting DMS for Kafka Permissions
Create IAM users and grant them only the DMS for Kafka permissions required to perform a given task based on their job responsibilities.
Kafka instances are tenant-exclusive, and physically isolated in deployment.
Create a topic for storing messages so that producers can produce messages and consumers can subscribe to messages.
The client uses commands to connect to Kafka instances in a private or public network, and produces and consumes messages.
