create-stream

Description

Creates a new Kinesis video stream.

When you create a new stream, Kinesis Video Streams assigns it a version number. When you change the stream’s metadata, Kinesis Video Streams updates the version.

CreateStream is an asynchronous operation.

For information about how the service works, see How it Works .

You must have permissions for the KinesisVideo:CreateStream action.

See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.

Synopsis

  create-stream
[--device-name <value>]
--stream-name <value>
[--media-type <value>]
[--kms-key-id <value>]
[--data-retention-in-hours <value>]
[--tags <value>]
[--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]

Options

--device-name (string)

The name of the device that is writing to the stream.

Note

In the current implementation, Kinesis Video Streams does not use this name.

--stream-name (string)

A name for the stream that you are creating.

The stream name is an identifier for the stream, and must be unique for each account and region.

--media-type (string)

The media type of the stream. Consumers of the stream can use this information when processing the stream. For more information about media types, see Media Types . If you choose to specify the MediaType , see Naming Requirements for guidelines.

Example valid values include “video/h264” and “video/h264,audio/aac”.

This parameter is optional; the default value is null (or empty in JSON).

--kms-key-id (string)

The ID of the Key Management Service (KMS) key that you want Kinesis Video Streams to use to encrypt stream data.

If no key ID is specified, the default, Kinesis Video-managed key (aws/kinesisvideo ) is used.

For more information, see DescribeKey .

--data-retention-in-hours (integer)

The number of hours that you want to retain the data in the stream. Kinesis Video Streams retains the data in a data store that is associated with the stream.

The default value is 0, indicating that the stream does not persist data.

When the DataRetentionInHours value is 0, consumers can still consume the fragments that remain in the service host buffer, which has a retention time limit of 5 minutes and a retention memory limit of 200 MB. Fragments are removed from the buffer when either limit is reached.

--tags (map)

A list of tags to associate with the specified stream. Each tag is a key-value pair (the value is optional).

key -> (string)

value -> (string)

Shorthand Syntax:

KeyName1=string,KeyName2=string

JSON Syntax:

{"string": "string"
  ...}

--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml (string) Reads arguments from the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, those values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally. This may not be specified along with --cli-input-yaml.

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. Similarly, if provided yaml-input it will print a sample input YAML that can be used with --cli-input-yaml. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.

See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.

Output

StreamARN -> (string)

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the stream.
