Amazon Kinesis Video Streams now supports VPC endpoints with AWS PrivateLink for private, secure video ingestion and playback without internet exposure.

https://aws.amazon.com/kinesis/video-streams/ now supports interface VPC endpoints powered by https://docs.aws.amazon.com/vpc/latest/privatelink/what-is-privatelink.html, providing private connectivity from your Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC). Traffic between your VPC and Kinesis Video Streams stays on the AWS network and is not exposed to the public internet, across the control plane and the video ingestion and playback data planes. Customers with strict security, compliance, or network-isolation requirements can now ingest, store, and play back video without internet gateways, NAT devices, or public IP addresses. For example, connected-camera or IoT video workloads in a private subnet can send media to Kinesis Video Streams and retrieve it for playback and analytics entirely over private connectivity. You create the endpoint from the Amazon VPC console, AWS CLI, or AWS SDKs and can attach a VPC endpoint policy to control access. VPC endpoints for Amazon Kinesis Video Streams are available in all AWS Regions where Amazon Kinesis Video Streams is available, including the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions and the China (Beijing) Region, operated by Beijing Sinnet Technology Co., Ltd. ("Sinnet"). To learn more, see our https://docs.aws.amazon.com/kinesisvideostreams/latest/dg/vpc-interface-endpoints.html.

Amazon Kinesis Data Streams now provides AWS CloudFormation supports for managing resource policies for data streams and consumers. You can use CloudFormation templates to programmatically deploy resource policies in a secure, efficient, and repeatable way, reducing the risk of human error from manual configuration. Kinesis Data Streams allows users to capture, process, and store data streams in real time at any scale. CloudFormation uses stacks to manage AWS resources, allowing you to track changes, apply updates automatically, and easily roll back changes when needed. CloudFormation support for resource policies is available in all https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/global-infrastructure/regional-product-services/ where Amazon Kinesis Data Streams is offered, including the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions and China Regions. To learn more about Amazon Kinesis Data Streams resource policies, visit the https://docs.aws.amazon.com/streams/latest/dev/controlling-access.html#sharing-data-streams.

Amazon Kinesis Data Streams launches On-demand Advantage, so customers can warm on-demand streams to handle instant throughput increases up to 10GB or 10 million events per second, eliminating the need to over-provision or build custom scaling solutions. Amazon Kinesis Data Streams is a serverless streaming data service that makes it easy to capture, process, and store data streams at any scale. On-demand streams automatically scale capacity based on data usage, and now you can warm write capacity ad hoc. On-demand Advantage also provides a simpler pricing structure that removes the fixed, per-stream charge, so customers only pay for data usage at better rates. On-demand Advantage offers data usage with 60% lower pricing compared to On-demand Standard, with data ingest at $0.032/GB and data retrieval at $0.016/GB in the US East (N. Virginia) region. The price of Enhanced fan-out data retrieval is the same as shared-throughput retrievals, making higher fan-out use cases more cost effective. The mode also decreases the price of extended retention by 77% from $0.10/GB-month to $0.023/GB-month. Once you enable On-demand Advantage mode, the account will be billed for a minimum of 25MB/s of data ingest and 25MB/s of data retrieval at the lower rates across all on-demand streams. The new pricing means On-demand Advantage is the most cost effective way to stream with Kinesis Data Streams when you ingest at least 10MB/s in aggregate, fan out to more than two consumer applications, or have hundreds of streams in a region. You can check directly in the Kinesis console and the pricing page if On-demand Advantage is a good fit for your account. On-demand Advantage is available in all AWS regions where Kinesis Data Streams is available, including AWS GovCloud (US) and China regions.
