AWS Kinesis 101 | Lesson 1: Build A Kinesis Data Stream Using The AWS Kinesis Data Generator

In this series of videos we take a look at AWS Kinesis Data Streams. We mix the theory with the practical as we build a real time streaming app using Kinesis Data Streams, Kinesis Firehose and Kinesis Analytics.
In this video we learn about AWS Kinesis producers and create our own by configuring the AWS Kinesis Data Generator before placing that data onto an AWS Kinesis Data Stream.

Thank you for this video. I tried this today. Seems AWS has created an on-demand services for kinesis so the option menus are not the same. Despite doing everything and selecting the same region, I am still unable to link the KDG to KDS. When I go to KDG and select correct region (as you did in 09:44), my stream name still doesn't come up. Please help.

I am also not seeing the stream name in my region, did you find resolution
