Creating a stream in the AWS CLI

Written by

CLI

To create a stream, run the command:

aws kinesis create-stream \
  --endpoint <endpoint> \
  --stream-name <stream_ID> \
  --shard-count <number_of_shards>
  • --endpoint: Specify the https://yds.serverless.yandexcloud.net endpoint to create a stream that will receive data over the AWS Kinesis Data Streams protocol.

  • --stream-name: Consists of the availability zone, folder ID, Yandex Managed Service for YDB database ID, and stream name.

    For example, your stream ID will appear as /ru-central1/aoeu1kuk2dht********/cc8029jgtuab********/aws_stream if:

    • aws_stream: Stream name
    • ru-central1: Region
    • aoeu1kuk2dht********: Folder ID
    • cc8029jgtuab********: YDB database ID
  • --shard-count: Number of stream shards

Note

Since you cannot specify the data stream rate in Amazon Kinesis, all data streams are created with a shard throughput of 1 MB/s and a retention period of 24 hours for compatibility purposes.

Command example:

aws kinesis create-stream \
  --endpoint https://yds.serverless.yandexcloud.net \
  --stream-name /ru-central1/aoeu1kuk2dht********/cc8029jgtuab********/aws_stream \
  --shard-count 1
