aws kinesis source AWS Kinesis Source

Provided by: "Apache Software Foundation"

Support Level for this Kamelet is: "Preview"

Receive data from AWS Kinesis.

Access Key/Secret Key are the basic method for authenticating to the AWS Kinesis Service. These parameters are optional, because the Kamelet provide also the 'useDefaultCredentialsProvider'.

When using a default Credentials Provider the Kinesis client will load the credentials through this provider and won’t use the static credential. This is reason for not having the access key and secret key as mandatory parameter for this Kamelet.

  • camel:kamelet

  • camel:core

Usage

This section describes how you can use the aws-kinesis-source.

Knative source

You can use the aws-kinesis-source Kamelet as a Knative source by binding it to a Knative object.

aws-kinesis-source-binding.yaml
apiVersion: camel.apache.org/v1alpha1
kind: KameletBinding
metadata:
  name: aws-kinesis-source-binding
spec:
  source:
    ref:
      kind: Kamelet
      apiVersion: camel.apache.org/v1alpha1
      name: aws-kinesis-source
    properties:
      region: eu-west-1
      stream: The Stream Name
  sink:
    ref:
      kind: Channel
      apiVersion: messaging.knative.dev/v1
      name: mychannel

Prerequisite

You have Camel K installed on the cluster.

Procedure for using the cluster CLI

  1. Save the aws-kinesis-source-binding.yaml file to your local drive, and then edit it as needed for your configuration.

  2. Run the source by using the following command:

    kubectl apply -f aws-kinesis-source-binding.yaml

Procedure for using the Kamel CLI

Configure and run the source by using the following command:

kamel bind aws-kinesis-source -p "source.region=eu-west-1" -p "source.stream=The Stream Name" channel:mychannel

This command creates the KameletBinding in the current namespace on the cluster.

Kafka source

You can use the aws-kinesis-source Kamelet as a Kafka source by binding it to a Kafka topic.

aws-kinesis-source-binding.yaml
apiVersion: camel.apache.org/v1alpha1
kind: KameletBinding
metadata:
  name: aws-kinesis-source-binding
spec:
  source:
    ref:
      kind: Kamelet
      apiVersion: camel.apache.org/v1alpha1
      name: aws-kinesis-source
    properties:
      region: eu-west-1
      stream: The Stream Name
  sink:
    ref:
      kind: KafkaTopic
      apiVersion: kafka.strimzi.io/v1beta1
      name: my-topic

Prerequisites

  • You’ve installed Strimzi.

  • You’ve created a topic named my-topic in the current namespace.

  • You have Camel K installed on the cluster.

Procedure for using the cluster CLI

  1. Save the aws-kinesis-source-binding.yaml file to your local drive, and then edit it as needed for your configuration.

  2. Run the source by using the following command:

    kubectl apply -f aws-kinesis-source-binding.yaml

Procedure for using the Kamel CLI

Configure and run the source by using the following command:

kamel bind aws-kinesis-source -p "source.region=eu-west-1" -p "source.stream=The Stream Name" kafka.strimzi.io/v1beta1:KafkaTopic:my-topic

This command creates the KameletBinding in the current namespace on the cluster.
