Does Managed Service for Apache Kafka in GCP support Kafka Connect for custom connectors?

[shivansh21]

I have successfully created a Managed Service for Apache Kafka cluster in GCP and am able to produce and consume messages using the producer/consumer APIs.

Now, I need to create and integrate some custom connectors using the Kafka Connect framework.

• Does Managed Service for Apache Kafka in GCP support Kafka Connect?
• If yes, what is the process to integrate custom connectors with the managed Kafka cluster?

Looking forward to guidance or documentation links.
