Amazon Kinesis Firehose can now read data directly from Amazon Kinesis Streams

Posted on: Aug 18, 2017

Amazon Kinesis Firehose is the easiest way to load streaming data into AWS. Today we have added a built-in integration that allows you to send streaming data from Kinesis Streams to Kinesis Firehose by configuring your stream as a data source to Kinesis Firehose using the console or API. You can now create and configure a Firehose delivery stream to automatically read data from your Kinesis streams and then deliver the data to destinations. This makes it easy for you to persist data in your streams to data stores such as Amazon S3, Amazon Redshift, and Amazon Elasticsearch Service. 

Kinesis Firehose is available in the US East (N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), and EU (Ireland) regions. To get started, create a delivery stream in the console or explore the Kinesis Firehose developer guide.
