How Do I Set Up AWS Kinesis Video Streams Media Playback With Pulumi?
Introduction
This guide provides a step-by-step process to set up AWS Kinesis Video Streams for media playback using Pulumi. Kinesis Video Streams allow you to securely ingest, process, and store video streams for applications that require real-time video processing and analysis. We will cover creating a Kinesis Video Stream, configuring IAM roles and policies, and setting up the stream for media playback.
Key Points
- Create a Kinesis Video Stream.
- Set up IAM roles and policies for the Kinesis Video Stream.
- Ensure the Kinesis Video Stream is configured for media playback.
Step-by-Step Setup Process
Create a Kinesis Video Stream:
- Use Pulumi to define and create a Kinesis Video Stream with specified parameters like data retention and media type.
Set up IAM Role:
- Create an IAM role that Kinesis Video Stream can assume, allowing it to perform necessary actions.
Attach IAM Policy:
- Define and attach a policy to the IAM role, granting permissions such as connecting as a master or viewer and getting media for playback.
Export Stream Details:
- Export the name and ARN of the video stream for use in other parts of your application or infrastructure.
import * as pulumi from "@pulumi/pulumi";
import * as aws from "@pulumi/aws";
// Create a Kinesis Video Stream
const videoStream = new aws.kinesis.VideoStream("videoStream", {
name: "my-video-stream",
dataRetentionInHours: 24, // Retain data for 24 hours
mediaType: "video/h264", // Specify the media type
tags: {
Environment: "dev",
},
});
// Create an IAM Role for Kinesis Video Stream
const kinesisRole = new aws.iam.Role("kinesisRole", {
assumeRolePolicy: JSON.stringify({
Version: "2012-10-17",
Statement: [
{
Action: "sts:AssumeRole",
Principal: {
Service: "kinesisvideo.amazonaws.com",
},
Effect: "Allow",
},
],
}),
});
// Attach a policy to the role to allow Kinesis Video Stream actions
const kinesisPolicy = new aws.iam.RolePolicy("kinesisPolicy", {
role: kinesisRole.id,
policy: JSON.stringify({
Version: "2012-10-17",
Statement: [
{
Effect: "Allow",
Action: [
"kinesisvideo:ConnectAsMaster",
"kinesisvideo:ConnectAsViewer",
"kinesisvideo:GetMedia",
"kinesisvideo:GetMediaForFragmentList",
],
Resource: videoStream.arn,
},
],
}),
});
// Export the name and ARN of the video stream
export const streamName = videoStream.name;
export const streamArn = videoStream.arn;
Summary
In conclusion, this guide demonstrated how to set up an AWS Kinesis Video Stream using Pulumi. By following the steps outlined, you created a video stream, configured the necessary IAM roles and policies to enable secure and efficient media playback, and exported essential stream details for further integration. This setup ensures that your applications can effectively handle video streams in real-time.
