Amazon Kinesis Data Streams launches cross-account access with AWS Lambda in AWS GovCloud (US)
Regional Expansion
The article announces the launch of cross-account access with AWS Lambda for Amazon Kinesis Data Streams in the AWS GovCloud (US) regions. This new feature enables processing data ingested into a Kinesis Data Stream in one account with an AWS Lambda function in another account.
Specifically, the article covers:
- Amazon Kinesis Data Streams is a serverless real-time data streaming service that can capture gigabytes of data per second from many sources.
- AWS Lambda is a serverless compute service that allows running code without provisioning or managing servers.
- Together, Kinesis Data Streams and Lambda can build a completely serverless data streaming pipeline.
- Resource-based policies can now specify accounts, users, or roles to grant access to Kinesis Data Streams actions.
- This allows configuring a Lambda function in another account to process a data stream, reducing costs and simplifying pipelines.
- Cross-account usage is billed to the resource owner, without additional charges for sharing access.
- Instructions are provided for getting started and learning more about the new feature.
