Using AWS CLI

We can create a KDS from the AWS CLI as follows:

aws kinesis create-stream \    --stream-name my-first-kinesis-stream \    --shard-count 1 \    --profile admin

aws kinesis describe-stream \    --stream-name my-first-kinesis-stream \    --profile admin

aws kinesis list-streams \ --profile admin ...
