13. Kinesis Video Streams: Basic Concepts
• Kinesis Video Stream:
• Customer-owned entity that transports video-like data such frames, samples,
and fragments
• Stores durably, and makes it available for both real-time and ad hoc
consumption.
• Kinesis Video Stream only has a single producer publishing data into it.
• Producer:
• Producers put data into Kinesis Video Streams, and include hardware devices
like security cameras, body-worn cams, smartphones, dashcams, etc.
• A single producer can generate one or more Kinesis Video Streams
• Consumer:
• Consumers are applications that get data from Streams to process.
• Consumers get data in real-time/continuous or in batch-oriented path
• Consumers run on the customers own Amazon EC2 instances.
