在AWS上运行的Kafka-如何在新实例启动时保留broker.id来代替实例/代理失败

Question

Kafka running on AWS - how to retain broker.id on new instance spun-up in-place of instance/broker failed.

We are currently running Kafka in AWS with broker.id gets auto generated. But we are having issues when a broker is failed, new broker/instance spun-up in AWS get assigned with new broker.id. The issue is, with this approach, we need to re-assign the topics/replications on to the new broker manually.

We learned that, replication can be auto resolved by Kafka, if we can manage to get the same broker.id on the new AWS instance spun-up in-place of failed broker/instance.

I have read, we can set broker.id.generation.enable= false, but what is the best way to identify and retain the broker.id? Any links/help is appreciated.
