Prerequisites

Access to your AWS resources

Decodable interacts with resources in AWS on your behalf. To do this you need an IAM role configured with a trust policy that allows access from Decodable’s AWS account, and a permission policy as detailed below.

For more details on how this works, how to configure the trust policy, and example steps to follow see here.

To use this connector you must associate a permissions policy with the IAM role. This policy must have the following permissions:

  • Access to your Kinesis stream. For more information, see Controlling Access to Amazon Kinesis Data Streams Resources Using IAM.

  • You can also restrict the permissions for specific Kinesis streams by specifying a Kinesis ARN instead of the wildcard *.

  • Sample Permission Policy 
    {
  "Version": "2012-10-17",
  "Statement": [
    {
      "Effect": "Allow",
      "Action": "kinesis:*",
      "Resource": "*"
    }
  ]
}
