To create a data stream

The following create-stream example creates a data stream named samplestream with 3 shards.

aws kinesis create-stream \
    --stream-name samplestream \
    --shard-count 3

This command produces no output.

For more information, see Creating a Stream in the Amazon Kinesis Data Streams Developer Guide.

Example 1: Creates a new stream. By default this cmdlet returns no output so the -PassThru switch is added to return the value supplied to the -StreamName parameter for subsequent use.
