Note that there is actually a very nice kafka mesos framework for this sort of thing: https://github.com/mesos/kafka Mesos supports persistent volumes and what they call "dynamic reservations", which this framework supports. If the application is killed, and the host is still up, it will be restarted on the same host and re-attached to the volume which has the data, otherwise, kafka will just replicate to the new broker (as it does). The initial code for adding the dynamic reservation bits was added last November as it is a relatively new feature in Mesos: https://github.com/mesos/kafka/commit/455b20f94b9166b026ea

Similar work is progressing well for (off the top of my head) Kafka[1], Riak[2], and MySQL[3] though you'll note they're all quick to point out "don't use this for production yet." I'll be keeping on top of these developments, but for now, managing yourself or leaning on AWS services is definitely the pragmatic decision.
