You can add data to a KDS from the CLI using the aws kinesis put-record command, as follows:

aws kinesis put-record \    --stream-name my-first-kinesis-stream \    --partition-key 12345 \    --data sampledata01 \    --profile admin

This will return the shard ID and the sequence number of the record, as shown in the following screenshot:

Similarly, you can add one more data item with a payload of sampledata02.

Retrieving data from a KDS is a two-step process:

1. Get the shard iterator:

aws kinesis get-shard-iterator \    --shard-id shardId-000000000000 \    --shard-iterator-type TRIM_HORIZON \ --stream-name my-first-kinesis-stream ...
