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.
