Kinesis Stream Shard Level Metrics
More Info:
Ensure enhanced Amazon Kinesis stream monitoring for shard-level metrics is enabled in order to increase visibility into your streams performance. Kinesis is a platform for streaming data on Amazon Web Services that provides you with the ability to build and manage your own custom streaming data applications for specialized needs. A Kinesis stream is an ordered sequence of data records collected within a dedicated storage layer. The data records within a Kinesis stream is distributed into unique identified groups called shards.Risk Level
