What it does

Operates Amazon Kinesis Data Streams (KDS). Covers streaming tables and Amazon S3 delivery - serverless, fully managed delivery from a KDS stream to Apache Iceberg tables on S3 Tables or to general-purpose S3 buckets. Includes channel setup, IAM, schemas, output key templates, CloudWatch metrics and alarms, DLQ handling, quotas, and troubleshooting. For all other KDS topics and questions, search AWS documentation and blogs instead.
