Refer to the following guide to learn how to use IAM in the cloud\ <https://scribehow.com/shared/Creating_an_IAM_User_and_User_Group_in_AWS_Management_Console__hWNiiXlcRJKFqYZZEJD-cg>
Sign in to **AWS Management Console** as an **IAM User** **Pre-requisite** - Ensure you have selected the AWS region closest to your location\ For this guide, we will be using us-west-1 (N. California) as a preferred choice
Type **Kinesis** in the search bar and click on **Kinesis** to view the Kinesis page
**Define Kinesis?** Amazon Kinesis is a platform provided by Amazon Web Services (AWS) for collecting, processing, and analyzing real-time streaming data at scale. It enables users to ingest and process large streams of data from various sources such as website clickstreams, IoT devices, log files, social media feeds, and more.
On the **Kinesis** page select **Kinesis Data Stream** and click on the **Create data stream** button from the right side to Create the Data Stream
**Define Kinesis Data Stream?** Amazon Kinesis Data Streams is a service provided by Amazon Web Services (AWS) for collecting and processing large streams of data records in real-time.
The wizard for creating a data stream will open, prompting you to provide a name as "**test-stream**" and Choose a **Data stream capacity mode**
**Define Kinesis Data stream capacity?** Data stream capacity in Amazon Kinesis Data Streams refers to the throughput capacity of a stream, which is measured in terms of the number of records per second and the size of each record. Users can scale the capacity of a data stream by adjusting the number of shards allocated to it.
Scroll the page and click on the **Create Data Stream** button
Creating the Data Stream might require some time
Once the Data Stream is successfully created, it will display Status as "**Active**" in the **Data Stream summary** section
Navigate to the "**Application**" tab where you can access the "**Producers**" and "**Consumers**" sections for the Kinesis Data Streams
To delete a Data Stream, On the same page click on the **Data Streams** option from the left bar
Click on the name of the data stream you want to delete, in this case, "**teststream**"
Click on the **Delete** button on the right side
Type "**delete**", then click on the **Delete** button. This action will delete the Kinesis Data Stream
Congratulations on completing the lab and exploring Amazon Kinesis! Good job!
