Documentation
aws-kinesis
Amazon Kinesis Data Stream with encryption at rest on by default and a
plug-and-play capacity mode. Works with Terraform and OpenTofu (>= 1.6),
AWS provider >= 6.0, < 7.0. ON_DEMAND by default means there is no shard
math to do — the stream scales itself; flip to PROVISIONED when you want a
fixed, cheaper-per-hour shard count you control. Optional enhanced fan-out
consumers are registered for you. No VPC, no public endpoint — access is purely
IAM-governed against the stream ARN.
Secure defaults:
- Encryption at rest always on (
encryption_type = "KMS") using the AWS-managed Kinesis key (alias/aws/kinesis): encrypted records, no key to manage, no monthly key charge. Bring a customer-managed key viakms_key_idfor full control and rotation policy. - ON_DEMAND capacity by default — no over/under-provisioning, no shard resharding to operate.
- Enhanced monitoring off by default (
shard_level_metrics = []) — each shard-level metric is billed per shard-hour, so it is opt-in. - No network exposure: Kinesis has no VPC/public surface; reads and writes are authorized through IAM only.
Security notes
- Encryption is KMS by default; setting
encryption_type = "NONE"is supported but disables encryption at rest and is not recommended. - The default
alias/aws/kinesiskey is AWS-managed (free, but AWS owns rotation). For compliance regimes that require customer-controlled keys, pass your own CMK inkms_key_id. - Grant producers
kinesis:PutRecord*and consumerskinesis:GetRecords/kinesis:SubscribeToShardscoped tostream_arn— least privilege against a single resource, no wildcardkinesis:*.
