Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose is Now Available in the AWS GovCloud (US-West) Region

Posted on: Jan 16, 2019

Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose is now available in the AWS GovCloud (US-West) Region, an isolated AWS Region designed to host sensitive data and regulated workloads in the cloud for customers who have U.S. federal, state, and local government compliance requirements. Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose is the easiest way to load streaming data into data stores and analytics tools. It can capture, transform, and load streaming data into Amazon S3, Amazon Redshift, Amazon Elasticsearch Service, and Splunk, enabling near real-time analytics with existing business intelligence tools you are already using today.

With Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose, you don't need to write applications or manage resources. You configure your data producers to send data to Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose, and it automatically delivers the data to the destination that you specified. You can also configure Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose to transform your data before delivering it.

To get started, create a delivery stream in the Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose Console or explore the Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose developer guide.
