# Use `CreateStream` with an AWS SDK or CLI
<a name="kinesis_example_kinesis_CreateStream_section"></a>

The following code examples show how to use `CreateStream`.

Action examples are code excerpts from larger programs and must be run in context. You can see this action in context in the following code example:

#### [ CLI ]

**AWS CLI**  
**To create a data stream**  
The following `create-stream` example creates a data stream named samplestream with 3 shards.  

```
aws kinesis create-stream \
    --stream-name samplestream \
    --shard-count 3
```
This command produces no output.  
For more information, see [Creating a Stream](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/streams/latest/dev/kinesis-using-sdk-java-create-stream.html) in the *Amazon Kinesis Data Streams Developer Guide*.
