CreateDeliveryStream - Amazon Data Firehose
Services or capabilities described in Amazon Web Services documentation might vary by Region. To see the differences applicable to the China Regions, see Getting Started with Amazon Web Services in China (PDF).

CreateDeliveryStream

Creates a Firehose delivery stream.

By default, you can create up to 50 delivery streams per Amazon Region.

This is an asynchronous operation that immediately returns. The initial status of the delivery stream is CREATING. After the delivery stream is created, its status is ACTIVE and it now accepts data. If the delivery stream creation fails, the status transitions to CREATING_FAILED. Attempts to send data to a delivery stream that is not in the ACTIVE state cause an exception. To check the state of a delivery stream, use DescribeDeliveryStream.

If the status of a delivery stream is CREATING_FAILED, this status doesn't change, and you can't invoke CreateDeliveryStream again on it. However, you can invoke the DeleteDeliveryStream operation to delete it.

A Firehose delivery stream can be configured to receive records directly from providers using PutRecord or PutRecordBatch, or it can be configured to use an existing Kinesis stream as its source. To specify a Kinesis data stream as input, set the DeliveryStreamType parameter to KinesisStreamAsSource, and provide the Kinesis stream Amazon Resource Name (ARN) and role ARN in the KinesisStreamSourceConfiguration parameter.

To create a delivery stream with server-side encryption (SSE) enabled, include DeliveryStreamEncryptionConfigurationInput in your request. This is optional. You can also invoke StartDeliveryStreamEncryption to turn on SSE for an existing delivery stream that doesn't have SSE enabled.

A delivery stream is configured with a single destination, such as Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3), Amazon Redshift, Amazon OpenSearch Service, Amazon OpenSearch Serverless, Splunk, and any custom HTTP endpoint or HTTP endpoints owned by or supported by third-party service providers, including Datadog, Dynatrace, LogicMonitor, MongoDB, New Relic, and Sumo Logic. You must specify only one of the following destination configuration parameters: ExtendedS3DestinationConfiguration, S3DestinationConfiguration, ElasticsearchDestinationConfiguration, RedshiftDestinationConfiguration, or SplunkDestinationConfiguration.

When you specify S3DestinationConfiguration, you can also provide the following optional values: BufferingHints, EncryptionConfiguration, and CompressionFormat. By default, if no BufferingHints value is provided, Firehose buffers data up to 5 MB or for 5 minutes, whichever condition is satisfied first. BufferingHints is a hint, so there are some cases where the service cannot adhere to these conditions strictly. For example, record boundaries might be such that the size is a little over or under the configured buffering size. By default, no encryption is performed. We strongly recommend that you enable encryption to ensure secure data storage in Amazon S3.

A few notes about Amazon Redshift as a destination:

  • An Amazon Redshift destination requires an S3 bucket as intermediate location. Firehose first delivers data to Amazon S3 and then uses COPY syntax to load data into an Amazon Redshift table. This is specified in the RedshiftDestinationConfiguration.S3Configuration parameter.

  • The compression formats SNAPPY or ZIP cannot be specified in RedshiftDestinationConfiguration.S3Configuration because the Amazon Redshift COPY operation that reads from the S3 bucket doesn't support these compression formats.

  • We strongly recommend that you use the user name and password you provide exclusively with Firehose, and that the permissions for the account are restricted for Amazon Redshift INSERT permissions.

Firehose assumes the IAM role that is configured as part of the destination. The role should allow the Firehose principal to assume the role, and the role should have permissions that allow the service to deliver the data. For more information, see Grant Firehose Access to an Amazon S3 Destination in the Amazon Firehose Developer Guide.

The destination in Splunk. You can specify only one destination.

Type: SplunkDestinationConfiguration object

Required: No

Tags

A set of tags to assign to the delivery stream. A tag is a key-value pair that you can define and assign to Amazon resources. Tags are metadata. For example, you can add friendly names and descriptions or other types of information that can help you distinguish the delivery stream. For more information about tags, see Using Cost Allocation Tags in the Amazon Billing and Cost Management User Guide.

You can specify up to 50 tags when creating a delivery stream.

If you specify tags in the CreateDeliveryStream action, Amazon Data Firehose performs an additional authorization on the firehose:TagDeliveryStream action to verify if users have permissions to create tags. If you do not provide this permission, requests to create new Firehose delivery streams with IAM resource tags will fail with an AccessDeniedException such as following.

AccessDeniedException

User: arn:aws:sts::x:assumed-role/x/x is not authorized to perform: firehose:TagDeliveryStream on resource: arn:aws:firehose:us-east-1:x:deliverystream/x with an explicit deny in an identity-based policy.

For an example IAM policy, see Tag example.

Type: Array of Tag objects

Array Members: Minimum number of 1 item. Maximum number of 50 items.

Required: No

Response Syntax

{ "DeliveryStreamARN": "string" }

Response Elements

If the action is successful, the service sends back an HTTP 200 response.

The following data is returned in JSON format by the service.

DeliveryStreamARN

The ARN of the delivery stream.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 512.

Pattern: arn:.*

Errors

For information about the errors that are common to all actions, see Common Errors.

InvalidArgumentException

The specified input parameter has a value that is not valid.

HTTP Status Code: 400

InvalidKMSResourceException

Firehose throws this exception when an attempt to put records or to start or stop delivery stream encryption fails. This happens when the KMS service throws one of the following exception types: AccessDeniedException, InvalidStateException, DisabledException, or NotFoundException.

HTTP Status Code: 400

LimitExceededException

You have already reached the limit for a requested resource.

HTTP Status Code: 400

ResourceInUseException

The resource is already in use and not available for this operation.

HTTP Status Code: 400

Examples

Example

The following JSON example creates a delivery stream named exampleStreamName with an Amazon S3 destination. To use this example, first replace the placeholders for the RoleARN and BucketARN keys with valid strings. For more information, see Amazon Resource Names (ARNs) and Amazon Service Namespaces.
