title: How AWS MSK and Confluent Schema Registry and Confluent Kafka connect recommended to use together?
body: <p>We are planning to use AWS MSK service for Managed Kafka and Schema Registry and Kafka Connect services from Confluent together to run our connectors (Elasticsearch Sink Connector). We have planned to run Schema Registry and Connectors in EC2.</p>
  <p>As per the Confluent team, They could not officially support Confluent Schema Registry and Kafka Connect if we use MSK for Kafka.</p>
  <p>So, Anyone can share their experience? like
  if Anybuddy has used a combination of MSK and Confluent services together in the production environment?</p>
  <p>Is there any risk in using this kind of combination?</p>
  <p>Is it recommended or not to use this combination?</p>
  <p>How is Confluent community support if we will face any issue with Connectors?</p>
  <p>Any other suggestions, comments, or alternatives?</p>
  <p>We already have a Confluent Corporate Platform license but We want to have managed Kafka service that's why we have chosen AWS MKS as it's very cost-effective than Confluent Cloud as per our analysis?</p>
  <p>Kindly please share your thoughts and Thanks in advance.</p>
  <p>Thanks</p>
