Tagging Support for Kinesis Streams
Amazon Kinesis is a fully managed service for real-time processing of streaming data at massive scale. Using Amazon Kinesis, developers can continuously capture, and store terabytes of data an hour from hundreds of thousands of sources including web site click-streams, financial transaction data, social media feeds, IT logs, location-tracking events, and more. Developers can write stream processing applications with the Kinesis Client Library that take action on real-time data, and power real-time dashboards, generate alerts, implement dynamic pricing, and advertising strategies, or even emit data to other big data services such as Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3), Amazon Elastic Map Reduce (Amazon EMR), or Amazon Redshift.
Amazon Kinesis now enables all customers to tag Kinesis streams to simplify administration. A tag is a user-defined label expressed as a key-value pair that helps organize AWS resources, and identify them as business-specific groupings such as application names or projects. For example, developers can use tags to make it easier to allocate costs and optimize spending by tagging a Kinesis stream with details such as a cost center, or the name of an administrator or project. You can add, view, and remove tags by using the AWS Management Console, API, or AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI).
