+##### with MSK IAM Authentication (only for `rdkafka2` output type)
+Authentication and authorization with an MSK cluster are facilitated through a base64-encoded signed URL, which is generated by the [aws-msk-iam-sasl-signer-ruby](https://github.com/bruce-szalwinski-he/aws-msk-iam-sasl-signer-ruby) library.
+
+**Configuration Example**
+To enable this feature, configure your Fluentd input as follows:
+
+```
+<match *>
+    @type rdkafka2
+    # Kafka brokers to connect to (typically on port 9098 or 9198 for IAM authentication)
+    brokers <broker_addresses>
+    # Topic to write events to
+    topic_key test-topic-1
+    default_topic test-topic-1
+
+    # AWS Region (required)
+    aws_msk_region us-east-1
+
+    # Use a shared producer for the connection (required)
+    share_producer true
+
+    # MSK IAM authentication settings (required)
+    rdkafka_options {
+      "security.protocol": "sasl_ssl",
+      "sasl.mechanisms": "OAUTHBEARER"
+    }
+</match>
+```
+With this configuration, Fluentd will handle the token refresh and manage the connection to your MSK cluster using AWS IAM authentication.
+
