Create your first Firehose stream

Now that all the pieces are in place, you're ready to create your first Firehose delivery stream. This will set you up for being able to send data to the stream, and the stream will put it into the S3 bucket.

Setup Notice a file _setup.py; In this file, we will create the boto3 clients for firehose and s3. You don't need to edit this file for exercises, but you're more than welcome to read it!

File to edit

You will be editing the create_firehose.py file in the editor.

Destination S3 Bucket

You will create an "sd-vehicle-data" S3 bucket to be used as the destination for our stream.

Role

The role we have created is "fireHoseDeliveryRole" with an ARN of: "arn:aws:iam::0000000:role/firehoseDeliveryRole".

This role will allow our new Firehose stream to write to the "sd-vehicle-data" bucket.
