<a name="firehose-example-create-delivery-stream"></a>

This topic explains how to create the Amazon Data Firehose delivery stream for the [message archiving and analytics example use case](firehose-example-use-case.md).

**To create the Amazon Data Firehose delivery stream**

1. Open the [Amazon Data Firehose services console](https://console.amazonaws.cn/kinesis/home).

1. Choose **Firehose** and then choose **Create delivery stream**.

1. On the **New delivery stream** page, for **Delivery stream name**, enter **ticketUploadStream**, and then choose **Next**.

1. On the **Process records** page, choose **Next**.

1. On the **Choose a destination** page, do the following:

   1. For **Destination**, choose **Amazon S3**.

   1. Under **S3 destination**, for **S3 bucket**, choose the S3 bucket that you [created initially](firehose-example-initial-resources.md).

   1. Choose **Next**.

1. On the **Configure settings** page, for **S3 buffer conditions**, do the following:
   + For **Buffer size**, enter **1**.
   + For **Buffer interval**, enter **60**.

   Using these values for the Amazon S3 buffer lets you quickly test the configuration. The first condition that is satisfied triggers data delivery to the S3 bucket.

1. On the **Configure settings** page, for **Permissions**, choose to create an Amazon Identity and Access Management (IAM) role with the required permissions assigned automatically. Then choose **Next**.

1. On the **Review** page, choose **Create delivery stream**.

1. From the **Amazon Data Firehose delivery streams page,** choose the delivery stream you just created (**ticketUploadStream**). On the **Details** tab, note the stream's Amazon Resource Name (ARN) for later.
