In this article, we will discuss "Difference between Kinesis Data Stream and Kinesis Firehose" . Today, I will explain the difference between Kinesis Data Stream and Kinesis Firehose . AWS constantly offering the new features and functionality. Kinesis is known as highly available communication channel to stream messages between data producers and data consumers. Data Producers: Source of data such as system or web log data, social network data, financial data, mobile app data, telemetry from connected IoT devices, or etc. Data Consumers: Data processing and storage applications such as Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3), Apache Hadoop, Apache Storm, ElasticSearch, or etc. It is important to understand Kinesis first. Amazon Kinesis is a significant feature in AWS for easy collection, processing, and analysis of video and data streams in real-time environments. AWS Kinesis helps in real-time data ingestion with support for data such as video, audio, IoT telemetry data, appl...

In this article, we will discuss "How to setup Amazon Kinesis Data Stream with Amazon Pinpoint (Part 3)?". This article is the third part of our Amazon Pinpoint Series. For better understanding, I recommend to readout the previous article. How to Setup AWS Pinpoint (Part 1) How to Setup AWS Pinpoint SMS Two-Way Communication (Part 2)? Streaming Amazon Pinpoint events to Kinesis In Amazon Pinpoint, when we send a transactional SMS or email message then an event will occur as per the action performed. In a simple way, Amazon Pinpoint sends information about events to Amazon Kinesis. Which, we read and process as per our requirement. We are talking about the SMS so we read the stream data to fetch the delivery reports of our SMSs. There are two types of streams given by the Amazon Kinesis such as Data Firehose, and Data Streams. Amazon Pinpoint can also stream data to Kinesis Data Streams, which ingests and stores multiple data streams for processing by analytics applications. F...

In this article, we will discuss "How to Setup AWS Pinpoint SMS Two Way Communication?" . As previously, I already explained the Pinpoint project setup. So I recommend going through the previous article for a better understanding. Enable Two-Way Communication You have to enable two-way communication for each of the numbers separately. I explained in my previous article about requesting a Long Code, Toll-Free, or 10DLC numbers. So go to the "Pinpoint -> SMS and voice -> Phone numbers" screen. Click on the specific number. Scroll down and enable the two-way SMS. After enabling the two-way SMS, you have to add the SNS topic where the user replies received. Create SNS Topic Go to AWS SNS (Simple Notification Service) Console. No need to apply any change in other settings. Add the description if needed then click on the "Create Topic" button. After successfully creating the SNS topic, you are redirected to the next screen. Still, we cannot read the us...

In this article, we will discuss "How to Add a New Key-Pair to an AWS EC2 Instance for SSH" . After creating an AWS EC2 instance , you might want to setup multiple SSH accounts for each user. Then you have to create new Key-Pairs, when you think that the user doesn't need to connect via SSH into AWS instances, you can delete the key pairs directly from the AWS EC2 Instance Console. You have to check my previous article for a better understanding of SSH connectivity. How to Use SSH with AWS EC2 Instance? Create Key Pair Login to your AWS Management Console, then go to EC2 Management Console. After that go to "Network & Security" in the navigation pane and click on the "Key Pairs" . Here, you can find the existing key pairs and you can search any key pair using the search field via key pair name. For new key pair, click on the "Create key pair" button. Now, you are redirected to the "Create key pair" form. Here, add the key na...

In this article, we will discuss "How to Use SSH with AWS EC2 Instance?" . As I already explain the setup of EC2 Instance and the use of an Elastic IP in my previous article. Today, we will learn how to connect an EC2 instance using SSH. If still, you have not read my previous articles then I recommend checking them once for a better understanding. Prerequisites A running EC2 Instance . Elastic IP (Optional for this article) ".pem" file, which is downloaded when setup the EC2 Instance. If not having the ".pem" file, then you have to create new key/value pairs. Connect via Terminal or WSL(Window Subsystem for Linux) Open your terminal and go to the directory where you downloaded your ".pem" file. Use the following command to connect with the server. ssh -i "****.pem" username@<publicDNS> or <IP Address> The same terminal command can be used in the windows Linux terminal. I'm using ubuntu on my windows machine...

In this article, we will discuss "How to Manage Elastic IP in AWS?" . Here, you will learn the use of Elastic IP addresses and how to assign it to your EC2 Instance. If you are new with EC2 Instance then check out my previous article, "How to setup an EC2 Instance on AWS" . EC2 (Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud) provide us an ability to create, start, stop and terminate the instance at any time. This will creates a challenge with IP addresses, because restarting an instance or replacing a terminated instance with newly created instance, will result in a new IP address. Now the question is "How to reference a machine when the IP is constantly change?" . We can handle this situation with the use of Elastic IP address. We can associate a single Elastic IP address to different Ec2 Instances. You can immediately associate a new Ec2 Instance with the Elastic IP address if the EC2 instance is stopped or terminated. After the back-end EC2 instance changes, our exist...
