Use CreateStream with an AWS SDK or command line tool

The following code examples show how to use CreateStream.

Action examples are code excerpts from larger programs and must be run in context. You can see this action in context in the following code example:

CLI

AWS CLI

To create a data stream

The following create-stream example creates a data stream named samplestream with 3 shards.

aws kinesis create-stream \
    --stream-name samplestream \
    --shard-count 3

This command produces no output.

For more information, see Creating a Stream in the Amazon Kinesis Data Streams Developer Guide.

PowerShell

Tools for PowerShell

Example 1: Creates a new stream. By default this cmdlet returns no output so the -PassThru switch is added to return the value supplied to the -StreamName parameter for subsequent use.

$streamName = New-KINStream -StreamName "mystream" -ShardCount 1 -PassThru
