Add Amazon Kinesis Data Streams source to an eventstream

This article shows you how to add an Amazon Kinesis Data Streams source to an eventstream.

Amazon Kinesis Data Streams is a massively scalable and highly durable data ingestion and processing service optimized for streaming data. By integrating Amazon Kinesis Data Streams as a source within your eventstream, you can seamlessly process real-time data streams before routing them to multiple destinations within Fabric.

Prerequisites

  • Access to a workspace in the Fabric capacity license mode or the Trial license mode with Contributor or higher permissions.
  • An Amazon Web Services (AWS) account with the Kinesis Data Streams service enabled.
  • Your Amazon Kinesis data stream must be publicly accessible and not be behind a firewall or secured in a virtual network. If it resides in a protected network, connect to it by using Eventstream connector virtual network injection.
