Create a connection for the DSP Amazon Kinesis Connector with static credentials

Use the AWS Kinesis Connector using static credentials to collect or send data to any Kinesis stream that the tenant has credentials for.

Before you can use any connector, you must create a connection.

Steps

1. From the Data Management page, click on the Connections tab.
2. Click Create New Connection.
3. Choose the Amazon Kinesis Connector using static credentials connector.
4. Click Next.
5. Complete the following fields:

   Field	Description
   Name	The connection name
   Description	A description of your connection
   AWS access key ID	The AWS access key ID with permissions to write to the Kinesis stream
   AWS region	The AWS region of the Kinesis stream
   AWS secret access key	The AWS secret access key with permissions to write to the Kinesis stream

   Any credentials that you upload are transmitted securely by HTTPs, encrypted, and securely stored in a secrets manager.

6. Click Save.
7. (Optional) If you are editing a connection that's being used by an active pipeline, you must reactivate that pipeline after making your changes.

You can now use your connection in a connector in a data pipeline.
