Using the Apache Flink Kinesis Streams connector with previous Apache Flink versions
The Apache Flink Kinesis Streams connector was not included in Apache Flink prior to version 1.11. In order for your application to use the Apache Flink Kinesis connector with previous versions of Apache Flink, you must download, compile, and install the version of Apache Flink that your application uses. This connector is used to consume data from a Kinesis stream used as an application source, or to write data to a Kinesis stream used for application output.
Note
Ensure that you are building the connector with
KPL version 0.14.0
To download and install the Apache Flink version 1.8.2 source code, do the following:
Ensure that you have Apache Maven
installed, and your JAVA_HOME
environment variable points to a JDK rather than a JRE. You can test your Apache Maven install with the following command:mvn -version
Download the Apache Flink version 1.8.2 source code:
wget https://archive.apache.org/dist/flink/flink-1.8.2/flink-1.8.2-src.tgz
Uncompress the Apache Flink source code:
tar -xvf flink-1.8.2-src.tgz
Change to the Apache Flink source code directory:
cd flink-1.8.2
Compile and install Apache Flink:
mvn clean install -Pinclude-kinesis -DskipTests
Note
If you are compiling Flink on Microsoft Windows, you need to add the
-Drat.skip=true
parameter.

Components of a Managed Service for Apache Flink application
To process data, your Managed Service for Apache Flink application uses a Java/Apache Maven or Scala application that processes input and produces output using the Apache Flink runtime.
Managed Service for Apache Flink application has the following components:
-
Runtime properties: You can use runtime properties to configure your application without recompiling your application code.
-
Source: The application consumes data by using a source. A source connector reads data from a Kinesis data stream, an Amazon S3 bucket, etc. For more information, see Add streaming data sources.
-
Operators: The application processes data by using one or more operators. An operator can transform, enrich, or aggregate data. For more information, see Operators.
-
Sink: The application produces data to external sources by using sinks. A sink connector writes data to a Kinesis data stream, a Firehose stream, an Amazon S3 bucket, etc. For more information, see Write data using sinks.
After you create, compile, and package your application code, you upload the code package to an Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) bucket. You then create a Managed Service for Apache Flink application. You pass in the code package location, a Kinesis data stream as the streaming data source, and typically a streaming or file location that receives the application's processed data.
Prerequisites for completing the exercises
To complete the steps in this guide, you must have the following:
-
Java Development Kit (JDK) version 11
. Set the JAVA_HOME
environment variable to point to your JDK install location. -
We recommend that you use a development environment (such as Eclipse Java Neon
or IntelliJ Idea ) to develop and compile your application. -
Git client
. Install the Git client if you haven't already. -
Apache Maven Compiler Plugin
. Maven must be in your working path. To test your Apache Maven installation, enter the following: $ mvn -version
To get started, go to Set up an AWS account and create an administrator user.
Step 1: Set up an AWS account and create an administrator user
Sign up for an AWS account
If you do not have an AWS account, complete the following steps to create one.
To sign up for an AWS account
Open https://portal.aws.amazon.com/billing/signup
. Follow the online instructions.
Part of the sign-up procedure involves receiving a phone call and entering a verification code on the phone keypad.
When you sign up for an AWS account, an AWS account root user is created. The root user has access to all AWS services and resources in the account. As a security best practice, assign administrative access to a user, and use only the root user to perform tasks that require root user access.
AWS sends you a confirmation email after the sign-up process is
complete. At any time, you can view your current account activity and manage your account by
going to https://aws.amazon.com/
Create a user with administrative access
After you sign up for an AWS account, secure your AWS account root user, enable AWS IAM Identity Center, and create an administrative user so that you don't use the root user for everyday tasks.
Secure your AWS account root user
-
Sign in to the AWS Management Console
as the account owner by choosing Root user and entering your AWS account email address. On the next page, enter your password. For help signing in by using root user, see Signing in as the root user in the AWS Sign-In User Guide.
-
Turn on multi-factor authentication (MFA) for your root user.
For instructions, see Enable a virtual MFA device for your AWS account root user (console) in the IAM User Guide.
Create a user with administrative access
-
Enable IAM Identity Center.
For instructions, see Enabling AWS IAM Identity Center in the AWS IAM Identity Center User Guide.
-
In IAM Identity Center, grant administrative access to a user.
For a tutorial about using the IAM Identity Center directory as your identity source, see Configure user access with the default IAM Identity Center directory in the AWS IAM Identity Center User Guide.
Sign in as the user with administrative access
-
To sign in with your IAM Identity Center user, use the sign-in URL that was sent to your email address when you created the IAM Identity Center user.
For help signing in using an IAM Identity Center user, see Signing in to the AWS access portal in the AWS Sign-In User Guide.
Assign access to additional users
-
In IAM Identity Center, create a permission set that follows the best practice of applying least-privilege permissions.
For instructions, see Create a permission set in the AWS IAM Identity Center User Guide.
-
Assign users to a group, and then assign single sign-on access to the group.
For instructions, see Add groups in the AWS IAM Identity Center User Guide.
Grant programmatic access
Users need programmatic access if they want to interact with AWS outside of the AWS Management Console. The way to grant programmatic access depends on the type of user that's accessing AWS.
To grant users programmatic access, choose one of the following options.
Which user needs programmatic access? | To | By |
---|---|---|
Workforce identity (Users managed in IAM Identity Center) |
Use temporary credentials to sign programmatic requests to the AWS CLI, AWS SDKs, or AWS APIs. |
Following the instructions for the interface that you want to use.
|
IAM | Use temporary credentials to sign programmatic requests to the AWS CLI, AWS SDKs, or AWS APIs. | Following the instructions in Using temporary credentials with AWS resources in the IAM User Guide. |
IAM | (Not recommended) Use long-term credentials to sign programmatic requests to the AWS CLI, AWS SDKs, or AWS APIs. |
Following the instructions for the interface that you want to use.
|
Next step
Set up the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI)
Next step
Step 2: Set up the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI)
Step 2: Set up the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI)
In this step, you download and configure the AWS CLI to use with Managed Service for Apache Flink.
Note
The getting started exercises in this guide assume that you are using
administrator credentials (adminuser
) in your account to perform the
operations.
Note
If you already have the AWS CLI installed, you might need to upgrade to get the latest functionality. For more information, see Installing the AWS Command Line Interface in the AWS Command Line Interface User Guide. To check the version of the AWS CLI, run the following command:
aws --version
The exercises in this tutorial require the following AWS CLI version or later:
aws-cli/1.16.63
To set up the AWS CLI
-
Download and configure the AWS CLI. For instructions, see the following topics in the AWS Command Line Interface User Guide:
-
Add a named profile for the administrator user in the AWS CLI
config
file. You use this profile when executing the AWS CLI commands. For more information about named profiles, see Named Profiles in the AWS Command Line Interface User Guide.[profile adminuser] aws_access_key_id =
adminuser access key ID
aws_secret_access_key =adminuser secret access key
region =aws-region
For a list of available AWS Regions, see Regions and Endpoints in the Amazon Web Services General Reference.
Note
The example code and commands in this tutorial use the US West (Oregon) Region. To use a different Region, change the Region in the code and commands for this tutorial to the Region you want to use.
-
Verify the setup by entering the following help command at the command prompt:
aws help
After you set up an AWS account and the AWS CLI, you can try the next exercise, in which you configure a sample application and test the end-to-end setup.
Next step
Step 3: Create and run a Managed Service for Apache Flink application
Step 3: Create and run a Managed Service for Apache Flink application
In this exercise, you create a Managed Service for Apache Flink application with data streams as a source and a sink.
This section contains the following steps:
Create two Amazon Kinesis data streams
Before you create a Managed Service for Apache Flink application for this exercise, create two Kinesis data streams
(ExampleInputStream
and ExampleOutputStream
). Your
application uses these streams for the application source and destination
streams.
You can create these streams using either the Amazon Kinesis console or the following AWS CLI command. For console instructions, see Creating and Updating Data Streams in the Amazon Kinesis Data Streams Developer Guide.
To create the data streams (AWS CLI)
-
To create the first stream (
ExampleInputStream
), use the following Amazon Kinesiscreate-stream
AWS CLI command.$ aws kinesis create-stream \ --stream-name ExampleInputStream \ --shard-count 1 \ --region us-west-2 \ --profile adminuser
-
To create the second stream that the application uses to write output, run the same command, changing the stream name to
ExampleOutputStream
.$ aws kinesis create-stream \ --stream-name ExampleOutputStream \ --shard-count 1 \ --region us-west-2 \ --profile adminuser
Write sample records to the input stream
In this section, you use a Python script to write sample records to the stream for the application to process.
Note
This section requires the AWS SDK for Python (Boto)
-
Create a file named
stock.py
with the following contents:import datetime import json import random import boto3 STREAM_NAME = "ExampleInputStream" def get_data(): return { 'event_time': datetime.datetime.now().isoformat(), 'ticker': random.choice(['AAPL', 'AMZN', 'MSFT', 'INTC', 'TBV']), 'price': round(random.random() * 100, 2)} def generate(stream_name, kinesis_client): while True: data = get_data() print(data) kinesis_client.put_record( StreamName=stream_name, Data=json.dumps(data), PartitionKey="partitionkey") if __name__ == '__main__': generate(STREAM_NAME, boto3.client('kinesis', region_name='us-west-2'))
-
Later in the tutorial, you run the
stock.py
script to send data to the application.$ python stock.py
Download and examine the Apache Flink streaming Java code
The Java application code for this example is available from GitHub. To download the application code, do the following:
-
Clone the remote repository using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/aws-samples/amazon-kinesis-data-analytics-examples.git
-
Navigate to the
amazon-kinesis-data-analytics-java-examples/GettingStarted
directory.
Note the following about the application code:
-
A Project Object Model (pom.xml)
file contains information about the application's configuration and dependencies, including the Managed Service for Apache Flink libraries. -
The
BasicStreamingJob.java
file contains themain
method that defines the application's functionality. -
The application uses a Kinesis source to read from the source stream. The following snippet creates the Kinesis source:
return env.addSource(new FlinkKinesisConsumer<>(inputStreamName, new SimpleStringSchema(), inputProperties));
-
Your application creates source and sink connectors to access external resources using a
StreamExecutionEnvironment
object. -
The application creates source and sink connectors using static properties. To use dynamic application properties, use the
createSourceFromApplicationProperties
andcreateSinkFromApplicationProperties
methods to create the connectors. These methods read the application's properties to configure the connectors.For more information about runtime properties, see Use runtime properties.
Compile the application code
In this section, you use the Apache Maven compiler to create the Java code for the application. For information about installing Apache Maven and the Java Development Kit (JDK), see Fulfill the prerequisites for completing the exercises.
To compile the application code
-
To use your application code, you compile and package it into a JAR file. You can compile and package your code in one of two ways:
-
Use the command-line Maven tool. Create your JAR file by running the following command in the directory that contains the
pom.xml
file:mvn package -Dflink.version=1.13.2
-
Use your development environment. See your development environment documentation for details.
Note
The provided source code relies on libraries from Java 11.
You can either upload your package as a JAR file, or you can compress your package and upload it as a ZIP file. If you create your application using the AWS CLI, you specify your code content type (JAR or ZIP).
-
-
If there are errors while compiling, verify that your
JAVA_HOME
environment variable is correctly set.
If the application compiles successfully, the following file is created:
target/aws-kinesis-analytics-java-apps-1.0.jar
Upload the Apache Flink streaming Java code
In this section, you create an Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) bucket and upload your application code.
To upload the application code
Open the Amazon S3 console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/s3/
. -
Choose Create bucket.
-
Enter
ka-app-code-
in the Bucket name field. Add a suffix to the bucket name, such as your user name, to make it globally unique. Choose Next.<username>
-
In the Configure options step, keep the settings as they are, and choose Next.
-
In the Set permissions step, keep the settings as they are, and choose Next.
-
Choose Create bucket.
-
In the Amazon S3 console, choose the ka-app-code-
<username>
bucket, and choose Upload. -
In the Select files step, choose Add files. Navigate to the
aws-kinesis-analytics-java-apps-1.0.jar
file that you created in the previous step. Choose Next. -
You don't need to change any of the settings for the object, so choose Upload.
Your application code is now stored in an Amazon S3 bucket where your application can access it.
Create and run the Managed Service for Apache Flink application
You can create and run a Managed Service for Apache Flink application using either the console or the AWS CLI.
Note
When you create the application using the console, your AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) and Amazon CloudWatch Logs resources are created for you. When you create the application using the AWS CLI, you create these resources separately.
Create and run the application (console)
Follow these steps to create, configure, update, and run the application using the console.
Create the Application
Open the Managed Service for Apache Flink console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/flink
-
On the Managed Service for Apache Flink dashboard, choose Create analytics application.

On the Managed Service for Apache Flink - Create application page, provide the application details as follows:
-
For Application name, enter
MyApplication
. -
For Description, enter
My java test app
. -
For Runtime, choose Apache Flink.
-
Leave the version pulldown as Apache Flink version 1.13.
-
-
For Access permissions, choose Create / update IAM role
kinesis-analytics-MyApplication-us-west-2
. -
Choose Create application.
Note
When you create a Managed Service for Apache Flink application using the console, you have the option of having an IAM role and policy created for your application. Your application uses this role and policy to access its dependent resources. These IAM resources are named using your application name and Region as follows:
-
Policy:
kinesis-analytics-service-
MyApplication
-us-west-2
-
Role:
kinesisanalytics-
MyApplication
-us-west-2
Edit the IAM policy
Edit the IAM policy to add permissions to access the Kinesis data streams.
Open the IAM console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/iam/
. -
Choose Policies. Choose the
kinesis-analytics-service-MyApplication-us-west-2
policy that the console created for you in the previous section. -
On the Summary page, choose Edit policy. Choose the JSON tab.
-
Add the highlighted section of the following policy example to the policy. Replace the sample account IDs (
012345678901
) with your account ID.{ "Version": "2012-10-17", "Statement": [ { "Sid": "ReadCode", "Effect": "Allow", "Action": [ "s3:GetObject", "s3:GetObjectVersion" ], "Resource": [ "arn:aws:s3:::ka-app-code-
username
/aws-kinesis-analytics-java-apps-1.0.jar" ] }, { "Sid": "DescribeLogGroups", "Effect": "Allow", "Action": [ "logs:DescribeLogGroups" ], "Resource": [ "arn:aws:logs:us-west-2:012345678901
:log-group:*" ] }, { "Sid": "DescribeLogStreams", "Effect": "Allow", "Action": [ "logs:DescribeLogStreams" ], "Resource": [ "arn:aws:logs:us-west-2:012345678901
:log-group:/aws/kinesis-analytics/MyApplication:log-stream:*" ] }, { "Sid": "PutLogEvents", "Effect": "Allow", "Action": [ "logs:PutLogEvents" ], "Resource": [ "arn:aws:logs:us-west-2:012345678901
:log-group:/aws/kinesis-analytics/MyApplication:log-stream:kinesis-analytics-log-stream" ] }, { "Sid": "ReadInputStream", "Effect": "Allow", "Action": "kinesis:*", "Resource": "arn:aws:kinesis:us-west-2:
] }012345678901
:stream/ExampleInputStream" }, { "Sid": "WriteOutputStream", "Effect": "Allow", "Action": "kinesis:*", "Resource": "arn:aws:kinesis:us-west-2:012345678901
:stream/ExampleOutputStream" }
Configure the application
-
On the MyApplication page, choose Configure.
-
On the Configure application page, provide the Code location:
-
For Amazon S3 bucket, enter
ka-app-code-
.<username>
-
For Path to Amazon S3 object, enter
aws-kinesis-analytics-java-apps-1.0.jar
.
-
-
Under Access to application resources, for Access permissions, choose Create / update IAM role
kinesis-analytics-MyApplication-us-west-2
. -
Enter the following:
Group ID Key Value ProducerConfigProperties
flink.inputstream.initpos
LATEST
ProducerConfigProperties
aws.region
us-west-2
ProducerConfigProperties
AggregationEnabled
false
-
Under Monitoring, ensure that the Monitoring metrics level is set to Application.
-
For CloudWatch logging, select the Enable check box.
-
Choose Update.
Note
When you choose to enable Amazon CloudWatch logging, Managed Service for Apache Flink creates a log group and log stream for you. The names of these resources are as follows:
-
Log group:
/aws/kinesis-analytics/MyApplication
-
Log stream:
kinesis-analytics-log-stream
Run the application
The Flink job graph can be viewed by running the application, opening the Apache Flink dashboard, and choosing the desired Flink job.
Stop the application
On the MyApplication page, choose Stop. Confirm the action.
Update the application
Using the console, you can update application settings such as application properties, monitoring settings, and the location or file name of the application JAR. You can also reload the application JAR from the Amazon S3 bucket if you need to update the application code.
On the MyApplication page, choose Configure. Update the application settings and choose Update.
Create and run the application (AWS CLI)
In this section, you use the AWS CLI to create and run the Managed Service for Apache Flink application.
Managed Service for Apache Flink uses the kinesisanalyticsv2
AWS CLI command to create and
interact with Managed Service for Apache Flink applications.
Create a permissions policy
Note
You must create a permissions policy and role for your application. If you do not create these IAM resources, your application cannot access its data and log streams.
First, you create a permissions policy with two statements: one that
grants permissions for the read
action on the source stream,
and another that grants permissions for write
actions on the
sink stream. You then attach the policy to an IAM role (which you create
in the next section). Thus, when Managed Service for Apache Flink assumes the role, the service has the
necessary permissions to read from the source stream and write to the sink
stream.
Use the following code to create the
AKReadSourceStreamWriteSinkStream
permissions policy.
Replace
with the user name
that you used to create the Amazon S3 bucket to store the application code.
Replace the account ID in the Amazon Resource Names (ARNs)
(username
) with your
account ID.012345678901
{ "Version": "2012-10-17", "Statement": [ { "Sid": "S3", "Effect": "Allow", "Action": [ "s3:GetObject", "s3:GetObjectVersion" ], "Resource": ["arn:aws:s3:::ka-app-code-
username
", "arn:aws:s3:::ka-app-code-username
/*" ] }, { "Sid": "ReadInputStream", "Effect": "Allow", "Action": "kinesis:*", "Resource": "arn:aws:kinesis:us-west-2:012345678901
:stream/ExampleInputStream" }, { "Sid": "WriteOutputStream", "Effect": "Allow", "Action": "kinesis:*", "Resource": "arn:aws:kinesis:us-west-2:012345678901
:stream/ExampleOutputStream" } ] }
For step-by-step instructions to create a permissions policy, see Tutorial: Create and Attach Your First Customer Managed Policy in the IAM User Guide.
Note
To access other Amazon services, you can use the AWS SDK for Java. Managed Service for Apache Flink automatically sets the credentials required by the SDK to those of the service execution IAM role that is associated with your application. No additional steps are needed.
Create an IAM role
In this section, you create an IAM role that the Managed Service for Apache Flink application can assume to read a source stream and write to the sink stream.
Managed Service for Apache Flink cannot access your stream without permissions. You grant these permissions via an IAM role. Each IAM role has two policies attached. The trust policy grants Managed Service for Apache Flink permission to assume the role, and the permissions policy determines what Managed Service for Apache Flink can do after assuming the role.
You attach the permissions policy that you created in the preceding section to this role.
To create an IAM role
Open the IAM console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/iam/
. -
In the navigation pane, choose Roles, Create Role.
-
Under Select type of trusted identity, choose AWS Service. Under Choose the service that will use this role, choose Kinesis. Under Select your use case, choose Kinesis Analytics.
Choose Next: Permissions.
-
On the Attach permissions policies page, choose Next: Review. You attach permissions policies after you create the role.
-
On the Create role page, enter
MF-stream-rw-role
for the Role name. Choose Create role.Now you have created a new IAM role called
MF-stream-rw-role
. Next, you update the trust and permissions policies for the role. -
Attach the permissions policy to the role.
Note
For this exercise, Managed Service for Apache Flink assumes this role for both reading data from a Kinesis data stream (source) and writing output to another Kinesis data stream. So you attach the policy that you created in the previous step, Create a permissions policy.
-
On the Summary page, choose the Permissions tab.
-
Choose Attach Policies.
-
In the search box, enter
AKReadSourceStreamWriteSinkStream
(the policy that you created in the previous section). -
Choose the AKReadSourceStreamWriteSinkStream policy, and choose Attach policy.
-
You now have created the service execution role that your application uses to access resources. Make a note of the ARN of the new role.
For step-by-step instructions for creating a role, see Creating an IAM Role (Console) in the IAM User Guide.
Create the Managed Service for Apache Flink application
-
Save the following JSON code to a file named
create_request.json
. Replace the sample role ARN with the ARN for the role that you created previously. Replace the bucket ARN suffix (
) with the suffix that you chose in the previous section. Replace the sample account ID (username
) in the service execution role with your account ID.012345678901
{ "ApplicationName": "test", "ApplicationDescription": "my java test app", "RuntimeEnvironment": "FLINK-1_15", "ServiceExecutionRole": "arn:aws:iam::

Learn Flink: Hands On Training
: Offical introductory Apache Flink training that gets you started writing scalable streaming ETL, analytics, and event-driven applications. Note
Be aware that Managed Service for Apache Flink does not support the Apache Flink version (1.12) used in this training. You can use Flink 1.15.2 in Flink Managed Service for Apache Flink.
Getting started: Flink 1.11.1 - deprecating
Note
Apache Flink versions 1.6, 1.8, and 1.11 have not been supported by the Apache Flink community for over three years. We plan to deprecate these versions in Amazon Managed Service for Apache Flink on November 5, 2024. Starting from this date, you will not be able to create new applications for these Flink versions. You can continue running existing applications at this time. You can upgrade your applications statefully using the in-place version upgrades feature in Amazon Managed Service for Apache Flink For more information, see Use in-place version upgrades for Apache Flink.
This topic contains a version of the Tutorial: Get started using the DataStream API in Managed Service for Apache Flink tutorial that uses Apache Flink 1.11.1.
This section introduces you to the fundamental concepts of Managed Service for Apache Flink and the DataStream API. It describes the available options for creating and testing your applications. It also provides instructions for installing the necessary tools to complete the tutorials in this guide and to create your first application.
Topics
- Components of a Managed Service for Apache Flink application
- Prerequisites for completing the exercises
- Step 1: Set up an AWS account and create an administrator user
- Step 2: Set up the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI)
- Step 3: Create and run a Managed Service for Apache Flink application
- Step 4: Clean up AWS resources
- Step 5: Next steps
Components of a Managed Service for Apache Flink application
To process data, your Managed Service for Apache Flink application uses a Java/Apache Maven or Scala application that processes input and produces output using the Apache Flink runtime.
An Managed Service for Apache Flink application has the following components:
-
Runtime properties: You can use runtime properties to configure your application without recompiling your application code.
-
Source: The application consumes data by using a source. A source connector reads data from a Kinesis data stream, an Amazon S3 bucket, etc. For more information, see Add streaming data sources.
-
Operators: The application processes data by using one or more operators. An operator can transform, enrich, or aggregate data. For more information, see Operators.
-
Sink: The application produces data to external sources by using sinks. A sink connector writes data to a Kinesis data stream, a Firehose stream, an Amazon S3 bucket, etc. For more information, see Write data using sinks.
After you create, compile, and package your application code, you upload the code package to an Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) bucket. You then create a Managed Service for Apache Flink application. You pass in the code package location, a Kinesis data stream as the streaming data source, and typically a streaming or file location that receives the application's processed data.
Prerequisites for completing the exercises
To complete the steps in this guide, you must have the following:
-
Java Development Kit (JDK) version 11
. Set the JAVA_HOME
environment variable to point to your JDK install location. -
We recommend that you use a development environment (such as Eclipse Java Neon
or IntelliJ Idea ) to develop and compile your application. -
Git client
. Install the Git client if you haven't already. -
Apache Maven Compiler Plugin
. Maven must be in your working path. To test your Apache Maven installation, enter the following: $ mvn -version
To get started, go to Set up an AWS account and create an administrator user.
Step 1: Set up an AWS account and create an administrator user
Sign up for an AWS account
If you do not have an AWS account, complete the following steps to create one.
To sign up for an AWS account
Open https://portal.aws.amazon.com/billing/signup
. Follow the online instructions.
Part of the sign-up procedure involves receiving a phone call and entering a verification code on the phone keypad.
When you sign up for an AWS account, an AWS account root user is created. The root user has access to all AWS services and resources in the account. As a security best practice, assign administrative access to a user, and use only the root user to perform tasks that require root user access.
AWS sends you a confirmation email after the sign-up process is
complete. At any time, you can view your current account activity and manage your account by
going to https://aws.amazon.com/
Create a user with administrative access
After you sign up for an AWS account, secure your AWS account root user, enable AWS IAM Identity Center, and create an administrative user so that you don't use the root user for everyday tasks.
Secure your AWS account root user
-
Sign in to the AWS Management Console
as the account owner by choosing Root user and entering your AWS account email address. On the next page, enter your password. For help signing in by using root user, see Signing in as the root user in the AWS Sign-In User Guide.
-
Turn on multi-factor authentication (MFA) for your root user.
For instructions, see Enable a virtual MFA device for your AWS account root user (console) in the IAM User Guide.
Create a user with administrative access
-
Enable IAM Identity Center.
For instructions, see Enabling AWS IAM Identity Center in the AWS IAM Identity Center User Guide.
-
In IAM Identity Center, grant administrative access to a user.
For a tutorial about using the IAM Identity Center directory as your identity source, see Configure user access with the default IAM Identity Center directory in the AWS IAM Identity Center User Guide.
Sign in as the user with administrative access
-
To sign in with your IAM Identity Center user, use the sign-in URL that was sent to your email address when you created the IAM Identity Center user.
For help signing in using an IAM Identity Center user, see Signing in to the AWS access portal in the AWS Sign-In User Guide.
Assign access to additional users
-
In IAM Identity Center, create a permission set that follows the best practice of applying least-privilege permissions.
For instructions, see Create a permission set in the AWS IAM Identity Center User Guide.
-
Assign users to a group, and then assign single sign-on access to the group.
For instructions, see Add groups in the AWS IAM Identity Center User Guide.
Grant programmatic access
Users need programmatic access if they want to interact with AWS outside of the AWS Management Console. The way to grant programmatic access depends on the type of user that's accessing AWS.
To grant users programmatic access, choose one of the following options.
Which user needs programmatic access? | To | By |
---|---|---|
Workforce identity (Users managed in IAM Identity Center) |
Use temporary credentials to sign programmatic requests to the AWS CLI, AWS SDKs, or AWS APIs. |
Following the instructions for the interface that you want to use.
|
IAM | Use temporary credentials to sign programmatic requests to the AWS CLI, AWS SDKs, or AWS APIs. | Following the instructions in Using temporary credentials with AWS resources in the IAM User Guide. |
IAM | (Not recommended) Use long-term credentials to sign programmatic requests to the AWS CLI, AWS SDKs, or AWS APIs. |
Following the instructions for the interface that you want to use.
|
Next step
Set up the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI)
Step 2: Set up the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI)
In this step, you download and configure the AWS CLI to use with Managed Service for Apache Flink.
Note
The getting started exercises in this guide assume that you are using
administrator credentials (adminuser
) in your account to perform the
operations.
Note
If you already have the AWS CLI installed, you might need to upgrade to get the latest functionality. For more information, see Installing the AWS Command Line Interface in the AWS Command Line Interface User Guide. To check the version of the AWS CLI, run the following command:
aws --version
The exercises in this tutorial require the following AWS CLI version or later:
aws-cli/1.16.63
To set up the AWS CLI
-
Download and configure the AWS CLI. For instructions, see the following topics in the AWS Command Line Interface User Guide:
-
Add a named profile for the administrator user in the AWS CLI
config
file. You use this profile when executing the AWS CLI commands. For more information about named profiles, see Named Profiles in the AWS Command Line Interface User Guide.[profile adminuser] aws_access_key_id =
adminuser access key ID
aws_secret_access_key =adminuser secret access key
region =aws-region
For a list of available AWS Regions, see Regions and Endpoints in the Amazon Web Services General Reference.
Note
The example code and commands in this tutorial use the US West (Oregon) Region. To use a different Region, change the Region in the code and commands for this tutorial to the Region you want to use.
-
Verify the setup by entering the following help command at the command prompt:
aws help
After you set up an AWS account and the AWS CLI, you can try the next exercise, in which you configure a sample application and test the end-to-end setup.
Next step
Step 3: Create and run a Managed Service for Apache Flink application
Step 3: Create and run a Managed Service for Apache Flink application
In this exercise, you create a Managed Service for Apache Flink application with data streams as a source and a sink.
This section contains the following steps:
Create two Amazon Kinesis data streams
Before you create a Managed Service for Apache Flink application for this exercise, create two Kinesis data streams
(ExampleInputStream
and ExampleOutputStream
). Your
application uses these streams for the application source and destination
streams.
You can create these streams using either the Amazon Kinesis console or the following AWS CLI command. For console instructions, see Creating and Updating Data Streams in the Amazon Kinesis Data Streams Developer Guide.
To create the data streams (AWS CLI)
-
To create the first stream (
ExampleInputStream
), use the following Amazon Kinesiscreate-stream
AWS CLI command.$ aws kinesis create-stream \ --stream-name ExampleInputStream \ --shard-count 1 \ --region us-west-2 \ --profile adminuser
-
To create the second stream that the application uses to write output, run the same command, changing the stream name to
ExampleOutputStream
.$ aws kinesis create-stream \ --stream-name ExampleOutputStream \ --shard-count 1 \ --region us-west-2 \ --profile adminuser
Write sample records to the input stream
In this section, you use a Python script to write sample records to the stream for the application to process.
Note
This section requires the AWS SDK for Python (Boto)
-
Create a file named
stock.py
with the following contents:import datetime import json import random import boto3 STREAM_NAME = "ExampleInputStream" def get_data(): return { "EVENT_TIME": datetime.datetime.now().isoformat(), "TICKER": random.choice(["AAPL", "AMZN", "MSFT", "INTC", "TBV"]), "PRICE": round(random.random() * 100, 2), } def generate(stream_name, kinesis_client): while True: data = get_data() print(data) kinesis_client.put_record( StreamName=stream_name, Data=json.dumps(data), PartitionKey="partitionkey" ) if __name__ == "__main__": generate(STREAM_NAME, boto3.client("kinesis"))
-
Later in the tutorial, you run the
stock.py
script to send data to the application.$ python stock.py
Download and examine the Apache Flink streaming Java code
The Java application code for this example is available from GitHub. To download the application code, do the following:
-
Clone the remote repository using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/aws-samples/amazon-kinesis-data-analytics-examples.git
-
Navigate to the
amazon-kinesis-data-analytics-java-examples/GettingStarted
directory.
Note the following about the application code:
-
A Project Object Model (pom.xml)
file contains information about the application's configuration and dependencies, including the Managed Service for Apache Flink libraries. -
The
BasicStreamingJob.java
file contains themain
method that defines the application's functionality. -
The application uses a Kinesis source to read from the source stream. The following snippet creates the Kinesis source:
return env.addSource(new FlinkKinesisConsumer<>(inputStreamName, new SimpleStringSchema(), inputProperties));
-
Your application creates source and sink connectors to access external resources using a
StreamExecutionEnvironment
object. -
The application creates source and sink connectors using static properties. To use dynamic application properties, use the
createSourceFromApplicationProperties
andcreateSinkFromApplicationProperties
methods to create the connectors. These methods read the application's properties to configure the connectors.For more information about runtime properties, see Use runtime properties.
Compile the application code
In this section, you use the Apache Maven compiler to create the Java code for the application. For information about installing Apache Maven and the Java Development Kit (JDK), see Fulfill the prerequisites for completing the exercises.
To compile the application code
-
To use your application code, you compile and package it into a JAR file. You can compile and package your code in one of two ways:
-
Use the command-line Maven tool. Create your JAR file by running the following command in the directory that contains the
pom.xml
file:mvn package -Dflink.version=1.11.3
-
Use your development environment. See your development environment documentation for details.
Note
The provided source code relies on libraries from Java 11. Ensure that your project's Java version is 11.
You can either upload your package as a JAR file, or you can compress your package and upload it as a ZIP file. If you create your application using the AWS CLI, you specify your code content type (JAR or ZIP).
-
-
If there are errors while compiling, verify that your
JAVA_HOME
environment variable is correctly set.
If the application compiles successfully, the following file is created:
target/aws-kinesis-analytics-java-apps-1.0.jar
Upload the Apache Flink streaming Java code
In this section, you create an Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) bucket and upload your application code.
To upload the application code
Open the Amazon S3 console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/s3/
. -
Choose Create bucket.
-
Enter
ka-app-code-
in the Bucket name field. Add a suffix to the bucket name, such as your user name, to make it globally unique. Choose Next.<username>
-
In the Configure options step, keep the settings as they are, and choose Next.
-
In the Set permissions step, keep the settings as they are, and choose Next.
-
Choose Create bucket.
-
In the Amazon S3 console, choose the ka-app-code-
<username>
bucket, and choose Upload. -
In the Select files step, choose Add files. Navigate to the
aws-kinesis-analytics-java-apps-1.0.jar
file that you created in the previous step. Choose Next. -
You don't need to change any of the settings for the object, so choose Upload.
Your application code is now stored in an Amazon S3 bucket where your application can access it.
Create and run the Managed Service for Apache Flink application
You can create and run a Managed Service for Apache Flink application using either the console or the AWS CLI.
Note
When you create the application using the console, your AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) and Amazon CloudWatch Logs resources are created for you. When you create the application using the AWS CLI, you create these resources separately.
Create and run the application (console)
Follow these steps to create, configure, update, and run the application using the console.
Create the application
Open the Managed Service for Apache Flink console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/flink
-
On the Managed Service for Apache Flink dashboard, choose Create analytics application.
-
On the Managed Service for Apache Flink - Create application page, provide the application details as follows:
-
For Application name, enter
MyApplication
. -
For Description, enter
My java test app
. -
For Runtime, choose Apache Flink.
-
Leave the version pulldown as Apache Flink version 1.11 (Recommended version).
-
-
For Access permissions, choose Create / update IAM role
kinesis-analytics-MyApplication-us-west-2
. -
Choose Create application.
Note
When you create a Managed Service for Apache Flink application using the console, you have the option of having an IAM role and policy created for your application. Your application uses this role and policy to access its dependent resources. These IAM resources are named using your application name and Region as follows:
-
Policy:
kinesis-analytics-service-
MyApplication
-us-west-2
-
Role:
kinesisanalytics-
MyApplication
-us-west-2
Edit the IAM policy
Edit the IAM policy to add permissions to access the Kinesis data streams.
Open the IAM console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/iam/
. -
Choose Policies. Choose the
kinesis-analytics-service-MyApplication-us-west-2
policy that the console created for you in the previous section. -
On the Summary page, choose Edit policy. Choose the JSON tab.
-
Add the highlighted section of the following policy example to the policy. Replace the sample account IDs (

:stream/ExampleOutputStream" }
Configure the application
-
On the MyApplication page, choose Configure.
-
On the Configure application page, provide the Code location:
-
For Amazon S3 bucket, enter
ka-app-code-
.<username>
-
For Path to Amazon S3 object, enter
aws-kinesis-analytics-java-apps-1.0.jar
.
-
-
Under Access to application resources, for Access permissions, choose Create / update IAM role
kinesis-analytics-MyApplication-us-west-2
. -
Under Properties, for Group ID, enter
ProducerConfigProperties
. -
Enter the following application properties and values:
Group ID Key Value ProducerConfigProperties
flink.inputstream.initpos
LATEST
ProducerConfigProperties
aws.region
us-west-2
ProducerConfigProperties

false
-
Under Monitoring, ensure that the Monitoring metrics level is set to Application.
-
For CloudWatch logging, select the Enable check box.
-
Choose Update.
Note
When you choose to enable Amazon CloudWatch logging, Managed Service for Apache Flink creates a log group and log stream for you. The names of these resources are as follows:
-
Log group:
/aws/kinesis-analytics/MyApplication
-
Log stream:
kinesis-analytics-log-stream
Run the application
The Flink job graph can be viewed by running the application, opening the Apache Flink dashboard, and choosing the desired Flink job.
Stop the application
On the MyApplication page, choose Stop. Confirm the action.
Update the application
Using the console, you can update application settings such as application properties, monitoring settings, and the location or file name of the application JAR. You can also reload the application JAR from the Amazon S3 bucket if you need to update the application code.
On the MyApplication page, choose Configure. Update the application settings and choose Update.
Create and run the application (AWS CLI)
In this section, you use the AWS CLI to create and run the Managed Service for Apache Flink application.
a Managed Service for Apache Flink uses the kinesisanalyticsv2
AWS CLI command to create and
interact with Managed Service for Apache Flink applications.
Create a Permissions Policy
Note
You must create a permissions policy and role for your application. If you do not create these IAM resources, your application cannot access its data and log streams.
First, you create a permissions policy with two statements: one that
grants permissions for the read
action on the source stream,
and another that grants permissions for write
actions on the
sink stream. You then attach the policy to an IAM role (which you create
in the next section). Thus, when Managed Service for Apache Flink assumes the role, the service has the
necessary permissions to read from the source stream and write to the sink
stream.
Use the following code to create the
AKReadSourceStreamWriteSinkStream
permissions policy.
Replace
with the user name
that you used to create the Amazon S3 bucket to store the application code.
Replace the account ID in the Amazon Resource Names (ARNs)
(username
) with your
account ID.012345678901
{ "Version": "2012-10-17", "Statement": [ { "Sid": "S3", "Effect": "Allow", "Action": [ "s3:GetObject", "s3:GetObjectVersion" ], "Resource": ["arn:aws:s3:::ka-app-code-
username
", "arn:aws:s3:::ka-app-code-username
/*" ] }, { "Sid": "ReadInputStream", "Effect": "Allow", "Action": "kinesis:*", "Resource": "arn:aws:kinesis:us-west-2:012345678901
:stream/ExampleInputStream" }, { "Sid": "WriteOutputStream", "Effect": "Allow", "Action": "kinesis:*", "Resource": "arn:aws:kinesis:us-west-2:012345678901
:stream/ExampleOutputStream" } ] }
For step-by-step instructions to create a permissions policy, see Tutorial: Create and Attach Your First Customer Managed Policy in the IAM User Guide.
Note
To access other Amazon services, you can use the AWS SDK for Java. Managed Service for Apache Flink automatically sets the credentials required by the SDK to those of the service execution IAM role that is associated with your application. No additional steps are needed.
Create an IAM Role
In this section, you create an IAM role that the Managed Service for Apache Flink application can assume to read a source stream and write to the sink stream.
Managed Service for Apache Flink cannot access your stream without permissions. You grant these permissions via an IAM role. Each IAM role has two policies attached. The trust policy grants Managed Service for Apache Flink permission to assume the role, and the permissions policy determines what Managed Service for Apache Flink can do after assuming the role.
You attach the permissions policy that you created in the preceding section to this role.
To create an IAM role
Open the IAM console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/iam/
. -
In the navigation pane, choose Roles, Create Role.

Getting started: Flink 1.8.2 - deprecating
Note
Apache Flink versions 1.6, 1.8, and 1.11 have not been supported by the Apache Flink community for over three years. We plan to deprecate these versions in Amazon Managed Service for Apache Flink on November 5, 2024. Starting from this date, you will not be able to create new applications for these Flink versions. You can continue running existing applications at this time. You can upgrade your applications statefully using the in-place version upgrades feature in Amazon Managed Service for Apache Flink For more information, see Use in-place version upgrades for Apache Flink.
This topic contains a version of the Tutorial: Get started using the DataStream API in Managed Service for Apache Flink tutorial that uses Apache Flink 1.8.2.
Topics
- Components of Managed Service for Apache Flink application
- Prerequisites for completing the exercises
- Step 1: Set up an AWS account and create an administrator user
- Step 2: Set up the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI)
- Step 3: Create and run a Managed Service for Apache Flink application
- Step 4: Clean up AWS resources
Components of Managed Service for Apache Flink application
To process data, your Managed Service for Apache Flink application uses a Java/Apache Maven or Scala application that processes input and produces output using the Apache Flink runtime.
An Managed Service for Apache Flink application has the following components:
-
Runtime properties: You can use runtime properties to configure your application without recompiling your application code.
-
Source: The application consumes data by using a source. A source connector reads data from a Kinesis data stream, an Amazon S3 bucket, etc. For more information, see Add streaming data sources.
-
Operators: The application processes data by using one or more operators. An operator can transform, enrich, or aggregate data. For more information, see Operators.
-
Sink: The application produces data to external sources by using sinks. A sink connector writes data to a Kinesis data stream, a Firehose stream, an Amazon S3 bucket, etc. For more information, see Write data using sinks.
After you create, compile, and package your application code, you upload the code package to an Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) bucket. You then create a Managed Service for Apache Flink application. You pass in the code package location, a Kinesis data stream as the streaming data source, and typically a streaming or file location that receives the application's processed data.
Prerequisites for completing the exercises
To complete the steps in this guide, you must have the following:
-
Java Development Kit (JDK) version 8
. Set the JAVA_HOME
environment variable to point to your JDK install location. -
To use the Apache Flink Kinesis connector in this tutorial, you must download and install Apache Flink. For details, see Using the Apache Flink Kinesis Streams connector with previous Apache Flink versions.
-
We recommend that you use a development environment (such as Eclipse Java Neon
or IntelliJ Idea ) to develop and compile your application. -
Git client
. Install the Git client if you haven't already. -
Apache Maven Compiler Plugin
. Maven must be in your working path. To test your Apache Maven installation, enter the following: $ mvn -version
To get started, go to Step 1: Set up an AWS account and create an administrator user.
Step 1: Set up an AWS account and create an administrator user
Sign up for an AWS account
If you do not have an AWS account, complete the following steps to create one.
To sign up for an AWS account
Open https://portal.aws.amazon.com/billing/signup
. Follow the online instructions.
Part of the sign-up procedure involves receiving a phone call and entering a verification code on the phone keypad.
When you sign up for an AWS account, an AWS account root user is created. The root user has access to all AWS services and resources in the account. As a security best practice, assign administrative access to a user, and use only the root user to perform tasks that require root user access.
AWS sends you a confirmation email after the sign-up process is
complete. At any time, you can view your current account activity and manage your account by
going to https://aws.amazon.com/
Create a user with administrative access
After you sign up for an AWS account, secure your AWS account root user, enable AWS IAM Identity Center, and create an administrative user so that you don't use the root user for everyday tasks.
Secure your AWS account root user
-
Sign in to the AWS Management Console
as the account owner by choosing Root user and entering your AWS account email address. On the next page, enter your password. For help signing in by using root user, see Signing in as the root user in the AWS Sign-In User Guide.
-
Turn on multi-factor authentication (MFA) for your root user.
For instructions, see Enable a virtual MFA device for your AWS account root user (console) in the IAM User Guide.
Create a user with administrative access
-
Enable IAM Identity Center.
For instructions, see Enabling AWS IAM Identity Center in the AWS IAM Identity Center User Guide.
-
In IAM Identity Center, grant administrative access to a user.
For a tutorial about using the IAM Identity Center directory as your identity source, see Configure user access with the default IAM Identity Center directory in the AWS IAM Identity Center User Guide.
Sign in as the user with administrative access
-
To sign in with your IAM Identity Center user, use the sign-in URL that was sent to your email address when you created the IAM Identity Center user.
For help signing in using an IAM Identity Center user, see Signing in to the AWS access portal in the AWS Sign-In User Guide.
Assign access to additional users
-
In IAM Identity Center, create a permission set that follows the best practice of applying least-privilege permissions.
For instructions, see Create a permission set in the AWS IAM Identity Center User Guide.
-
Assign users to a group, and then assign single sign-on access to the group.
For instructions, see Add groups in the AWS IAM Identity Center User Guide.
Grant programmatic access
Users need programmatic access if they want to interact with AWS outside of the AWS Management Console. The way to grant programmatic access depends on the type of user that's accessing AWS.
To grant users programmatic access, choose one of the following options.
Which user needs programmatic access? | To | By |
---|---|---|
Workforce identity (Users managed in IAM Identity Center) |
Use temporary credentials to sign programmatic requests to the AWS CLI, AWS SDKs, or AWS APIs. |
Following the instructions for the interface that you want to use.
|
IAM | Use temporary credentials to sign programmatic requests to the AWS CLI, AWS SDKs, or AWS APIs. | Following the instructions in Using temporary credentials with AWS resources in the IAM User Guide. |
IAM | (Not recommended) Use long-term credentials to sign programmatic requests to the AWS CLI, AWS SDKs, or AWS APIs. |
Following the instructions for the interface that you want to use.
|
Step 2: Set up the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI)
In this step, you download and configure the AWS CLI to use with Managed Service for Apache Flink.
Note
The getting started exercises in this guide assume that you are using
administrator credentials (adminuser
) in your account to perform the
operations.
Note
If you already have the AWS CLI installed, you might need to upgrade to get the latest functionality. For more information, see Installing the AWS Command Line Interface in the AWS Command Line Interface User Guide. To check the version of the AWS CLI, run the following command:
aws --version
The exercises in this tutorial require the following AWS CLI version or later:
aws-cli/1.16.63
To set up the AWS CLI
-
Download and configure the AWS CLI. For instructions, see the following topics in the AWS Command Line Interface User Guide:
-
Add a named profile for the administrator user in the AWS CLI
config
file. You use this profile when executing the AWS CLI commands. For more information about named profiles, see Named Profiles in the AWS Command Line Interface User Guide.[profile adminuser] aws_access_key_id =
adminuser access key ID
aws_secret_access_key =adminuser secret access key
region =aws-region
For a list of available Regions, see Regions and Endpoints in the Amazon Web Services General Reference.
Note
The example code and commands in this tutorial use the US West (Oregon) Region. To use a different AWS Region, change the Region in the code and commands for this tutorial to the Region you want to use.
-
Verify the setup by entering the following help command at the command prompt:
aws help
After you set up an AWS account and the AWS CLI, you can try the next exercise, in which you configure a sample application and test the end-to-end setup.
Next step
Step 3: Create and run a Managed Service for Apache Flink application
Step 3: Create and run a Managed Service for Apache Flink application
In this exercise, you create a Managed Service for Apache Flink application with data streams as a source and a sink.
This section contains the following steps:
Create two Amazon Kinesis data streams
Before you create a Managed Service for Apache Flink application for this exercise, create two Kinesis data streams
(ExampleInputStream
and ExampleOutputStream
). Your
application uses these streams for the application source and destination
streams.
You can create these streams using either the Amazon Kinesis console or the following AWS CLI command. For console instructions, see Creating and Updating Data Streams in the Amazon Kinesis Data Streams Developer Guide.
To create the data streams (AWS CLI)
-
To create the first stream (
ExampleInputStream
), use the following Amazon Kinesiscreate-stream
AWS CLI command.$ aws kinesis create-stream \ --stream-name ExampleInputStream \ --shard-count 1 \ --region us-west-2 \ --profile adminuser
-
To create the second stream that the application uses to write output, run the same command, changing the stream name to
ExampleOutputStream
.$ aws kinesis create-stream \ --stream-name ExampleOutputStream \ --shard-count 1 \ --region us-west-2 \ --profile adminuser
Write sample records to the input stream
In this section, you use a Python script to write sample records to the stream for the application to process.
Note
This section requires the AWS SDK for Python (Boto)
-
Create a file named
stock.py
with the following contents:import datetime import json import random import boto3 STREAM_NAME = "ExampleInputStream" def get_data(): return { "EVENT_TIME": datetime.datetime.now().isoformat(), "TICKER": random.choice(["AAPL", "AMZN", "MSFT", "INTC", "TBV"]), "PRICE": round(random.random() * 100, 2), } def generate(stream_name, kinesis_client): while True: data = get_data() print(data) kinesis_client.put_record( StreamName=stream_name, Data=json.dumps(data), PartitionKey="partitionkey" ) if __name__ == "__main__": generate(STREAM_NAME, boto3.client("kinesis"))
-
Later in the tutorial, you run the
stock.py
script to send data to the application.$ python stock.py
Download and examine the Apache Flink streaming Java code
The Java application code for this example is available from GitHub. To download the application code, do the following:
-
Clone the remote repository using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/aws-samples/amazon-kinesis-data-analytics-examples.git
-
Navigate to the
amazon-kinesis-data-analytics-java-examples/GettingStarted_1_8
directory.
Note the following about the application code:
-
A Project Object Model (pom.xml)
file contains information about the application's configuration and dependencies, including the Managed Service for Apache Flink libraries. -
The
BasicStreamingJob.java
file contains themain
method that defines the application's functionality. -
The application uses a Kinesis source to read from the source stream. The following snippet creates the Kinesis source:
return env.addSource(new FlinkKinesisConsumer<>(inputStreamName, new SimpleStringSchema(), inputProperties));
-
Your application creates source and sink connectors to access external resources using a
StreamExecutionEnvironment
object. -
The application creates source and sink connectors using static properties. To use dynamic application properties, use the
createSourceFromApplicationProperties
andcreateSinkFromApplicationProperties
methods to create the connectors. These methods read the application's properties to configure the connectors.For more information about runtime properties, see Use runtime properties.
Compile the application code
In this section, you use the Apache Maven compiler to create the Java code for the application. For information about installing Apache Maven and the Java Development Kit (JDK), see Prerequisites for completing the exercises.
Note
In order to use the Kinesis connector with versions of Apache Flink prior to 1.11, you need to download, build, and install Apache Maven. For more information, see Using the Apache Flink Kinesis Streams connector with previous Apache Flink versions.
To compile the application code
-
To use your application code, you compile and package it into a JAR file. You can compile and package your code in one of two ways:
-
Use the command-line Maven tool. Create your JAR file by running the following command in the directory that contains the
pom.xml
file:mvn package -Dflink.version=1.8.2
-
Use your development environment. See your development environment documentation for details.
Note
The provided source code relies on libraries from Java 1.8. Ensure that your project's Java version is 1.8.
You can either upload your package as a JAR file, or you can compress your package and upload it as a ZIP file. If you create your application using the AWS CLI, you specify your code content type (JAR or ZIP).
-
-
If there are errors while compiling, verify that your
JAVA_HOME
environment variable is correctly set.
If the application compiles successfully, the following file is created:
target/aws-kinesis-analytics-java-apps-1.0.jar
Upload the Apache Flink streaming Java code
In this section, you create an Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) bucket and upload your application code.
To upload the application code
Open the Amazon S3 console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/s3/
. -
Choose Create bucket.
-
Enter
ka-app-code-
in the Bucket name field. Add a suffix to the bucket name, such as your user name, to make it globally unique. Choose Next.<username>
-
In the Configure options step, keep the settings as they are, and choose Next.
-
In the Set permissions step, keep the settings as they are, and choose Next.
-
Choose Create bucket.
-
In the Amazon S3 console, choose the ka-app-code-
<username>
bucket, and choose Upload. -
In the Select files step, choose Add files. Navigate to the
aws-kinesis-analytics-java-apps-1.0.jar
file that you created in the previous step. Choose Next. -
You don't need to change any of the settings for the object, so choose Upload.
Your application code is now stored in an Amazon S3 bucket where your application can access it.
Create and run the Managed Service for Apache Flink application
You can create and run a Managed Service for Apache Flink application using either the console or the AWS CLI.
Note
When you create the application using the console, your AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) and Amazon CloudWatch Logs resources are created for you. When you create the application using the AWS CLI, you create these resources separately.
Create and run the application (console)
Follow these steps to create, configure, update, and run the application using the console.
Create the application
Open the Managed Service for Apache Flink console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/flink
-
On the Managed Service for Apache Flink dashboard, choose Create analytics application.
-
On the Managed Service for Apache Flink - Create application page, provide the application details as follows:
-
For Application name, enter
MyApplication
. -
For Description, enter
My java test app
. -
For Runtime, choose Apache Flink.
-
Leave the version pulldown as Apache Flink 1.8 (Recommended Version).
-
-
For Access permissions, choose Create / update IAM role
kinesis-analytics-MyApplication-us-west-2
. -
Choose Create application.
Note
When you create a Managed Service for Apache Flink application using the console, you have the option of having an IAM role and policy created for your application. Your application uses this role and policy to access its dependent resources. These IAM resources are named using your application name and Region as follows:
-
Policy:
kinesis-analytics-service-
MyApplication
-us-west-2
-
Role:
kinesisanalytics-
MyApplication
-us-west-2
Edit the IAM policy
Edit the IAM policy to add permissions to access the Kinesis data streams.
Open the IAM console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/iam/
. -
Choose Policies. Choose the
kinesis-analytics-service-MyApplication-us-west-2
policy that the console created for you in the previous section. -
On the Summary page, choose Edit policy. Choose the JSON tab.
-
Add the highlighted section of the following policy example to the policy. Replace the sample account IDs (
012345678901
) with your account ID.{ "Version": "2012-10-17", "Statement": [ { "Sid": "ReadCode", "Effect": "Allow", "Action": [ "s3:GetObject", "s3:GetObjectVersion" ], "Resource": [ "arn:aws:s3:::ka-app-code-
username
/aws-kinesis-analytics-java-apps-1.0.jar" ] }, { "Sid": "DescribeLogGroups", "Effect": "Allow", "Action": [ "logs:DescribeLogGroups" ], "Resource": [ "arn:aws:logs:us-west-2:012345678901

:log-group:/aws/kinesis-analytics/MyApplication:log-stream:kinesis-analytics-log-stream" ] }, { "Sid": "ReadInputStream", "Effect": "Allow", "Action": "kinesis:*", "Resource": "arn:aws:kinesis:us-west-2:
] }012345678901
:stream/ExampleInputStream" }, { "Sid": "WriteOutputStream", "Effect": "Allow", "Action": "kinesis:*", "Resource": "arn:aws:kinesis:us-west-2:012345678901
:stream/ExampleOutputStream" }
Configure the application
-
On the MyApplication page, choose Configure.
-
On the Configure application page, provide the Code location:
-
For Amazon S3 bucket, enter
ka-app-code-
.<username>
-
For Path to Amazon S3 object, enter
aws-kinesis-analytics-java-apps-1.0.jar
.
-
-
Under Access to application resources, for Access permissions, choose Create / update IAM role
kinesis-analytics-MyApplication-us-west-2
. -
Enter the following application properties and values:
Group ID Key Value ProducerConfigProperties
flink.inputstream.initpos
LATEST
ProducerConfigProperties
aws.region
us-west-2
ProducerConfigProperties
AggregationEnabled
false
-
Under Monitoring, ensure that the Monitoring metrics level is set to Application.
-
For CloudWatch logging, select the Enable check box.
-
Choose Update.
Note
When you choose to enable Amazon CloudWatch logging, Managed Service for Apache Flink creates a log group and log stream for you. The names of these resources are as follows:
-
Log group:
/aws/kinesis-analytics/MyApplication
-
Log stream:
kinesis-analytics-log-stream
Run the application
-
On the MyApplication page, choose Run. Confirm the action.
-
When the application is running, refresh the page. The console shows the Application graph.
Stop the application
On the MyApplication page, choose Stop. Confirm the action.
Update the application
Using the console, you can update application settings such as application properties, monitoring settings, and the location or file name of the application JAR. You can also reload the application JAR from the Amazon S3 bucket if you need to update the application code.
On the MyApplication page, choose Configure. Update the application settings and choose Update.
Create and run the application (AWS CLI)
In this section, you use the AWS CLI to create and run the Managed Service for Apache Flink application.
Managed Service for Apache Flink uses the kinesisanalyticsv2
AWS CLI command to create and
interact with Managed Service for Apache Flink applications.
Create a Permissions Policy
Note
You must create a permissions policy and role for your application. If you do not create these IAM resources, your application cannot access its data and log streams.
First, you create a permissions policy with two statements: one that
grants permissions for the read
action on the source stream,
and another that grants permissions for write
actions on the
sink stream. You then attach the policy to an IAM role (which you create
in the next section). Thus, when Managed Service for Apache Flink assumes the role, the service has the
necessary permissions to read from the source stream and write to the sink
stream.
Use the following code to create the
AKReadSourceStreamWriteSinkStream
permissions policy.

:stream/ExampleOutputStream" } ] }
For step-by-step instructions to create a permissions policy, see Tutorial: Create and Attach Your First Customer Managed Policy in the IAM User Guide.
Note
To access other Amazon services, you can use the AWS SDK for Java. Managed Service for Apache Flink automatically sets the credentials required by the SDK to those of the service execution IAM role that is associated with your application. No additional steps are needed.
Create an IAM role
In this section, you create an IAM role that the Managed Service for Apache Flink application can assume to read a source stream and write to the sink stream.
Managed Service for Apache Flink cannot access your stream without permissions. You grant these permissions via an IAM role. Each IAM role has two policies attached. The trust policy grants Managed Service for Apache Flink permission to assume the role, and the permissions policy determines what Managed Service for Apache Flink can do after assuming the role.
You attach the permissions policy that you created in the preceding section to this role.
To create an IAM role
Open the IAM console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/iam/
. -
In the navigation pane, choose Roles, Create Role.
-
Under Select type of trusted identity, choose AWS Service. Under Choose the service that will use this role, choose Kinesis. Under Select your use case, choose Kinesis Analytics.
Choose Next: Permissions.
-
On the Attach permissions policies page, choose Next: Review. You attach permissions policies after you create the role.
-
On the Create role page, enter
MF-stream-rw-role
for the Role name. Choose Create role.Now you have created a new IAM role called
MF-stream-rw-role
. Next, you update the trust and permissions policies for the role. -
Attach the permissions policy to the role.
Note
For this exercise, Managed Service for Apache Flink assumes this role for both reading data from a Kinesis data stream (source) and writing output to another Kinesis data stream. So you attach the policy that you created in the previous step, Create a Permissions Policy.
-
On the Summary page, choose the Permissions tab.
-
Choose Attach Policies.
-
In the search box, enter
AKReadSourceStreamWriteSinkStream
(the policy that you created in the previous section). -
Choose the AKReadSourceStreamWriteSinkStream policy, and choose Attach policy.
-
You now have created the service execution role that your application uses to access resources. Make a note of the ARN of the new role.
For step-by-step instructions for creating a role, see Creating an IAM Role (Console) in the IAM User Guide.
Create the Managed Service for Apache Flink application
-
Save the following JSON code to a file named
create_request.json
. Replace the sample role ARN with the ARN for the role that you created previously. Replace the bucket ARN suffix (
) with the suffix that you chose in the previous section. Replace the sample account ID (username
) in the service execution role with your account ID.012345678901
{ "ApplicationName": "test", "ApplicationDescription": "my java test app", "RuntimeEnvironment": "FLINK-1_8", "ServiceExecutionRole": "arn:aws:iam::

Execute the
CreateApplication
action with the preceding request to create the application:aws kinesisanalyticsv2 create-application --cli-input-json file://create_request.json
The application is now created. You start the application in the next step.
Start the application
In this section, you use the StartApplication
action to start the
application.
To start the application
-
Save the following JSON code to a file named
start_request.json
.{ "ApplicationName": "test", "RunConfiguration": { "ApplicationRestoreConfiguration": { "ApplicationRestoreType": "RESTORE_FROM_LATEST_SNAPSHOT" } } }
-
Execute the
StartApplication
action with the preceding request to start the application:aws kinesisanalyticsv2 start-application --cli-input-json file://start_request.json
The application is now running. You can check the Managed Service for Apache Flink metrics on the Amazon CloudWatch console to verify that the application is working.
Stop the application
In this section, you use the StopApplication
action to stop the
application.
To stop the application
-
Save the following JSON code to a file named
stop_request.json
.{ "ApplicationName": "test" }
-
Execute the
StopApplication
action with the following request to stop the application:aws kinesisanalyticsv2 stop-application --cli-input-json file://stop_request.json
The application is now stopped.
Add a CloudWatch logging option
You can use the AWS CLI to add an Amazon CloudWatch log stream to your application. For information about using CloudWatch Logs with your application, see Set up application logging in Managed Service for Apache Flink.
Update environment properties
In this section, you use the UpdateApplication
action to change the
environment properties for the application without recompiling the
application code. In this example, you change the Region of the source
and destination streams.
To update environment properties for the application
-
Save the following JSON code to a file named
update_properties_request.json
.{"ApplicationName": "test", "CurrentApplicationVersionId": 1, "ApplicationConfigurationUpdate": { "EnvironmentPropertyUpdates": { "PropertyGroups": [ { "PropertyGroupId": "ProducerConfigProperties", "PropertyMap" : { "flink.stream.initpos" : "LATEST", "aws.region" : "us-west-2", "AggregationEnabled" : "false" } }, { "PropertyGroupId": "ConsumerConfigProperties", "PropertyMap" : { "aws.region" : "us-west-2" } } ] } } }
-
Execute the
UpdateApplication
action with the preceding request to update environment properties:aws kinesisanalyticsv2 update-application --cli-input-json file://update_properties_request.json
Update the application code
When you need to update your application code with a new version of your
code package, you use the UpdateApplication
AWS CLI action.
Note
To load a new version of the application code with the same file name, you must specify the new object version. For more information about using Amazon S3 object versions, see Enabling or Disabling Versioning.
To use the AWS CLI, delete your previous code package from your Amazon S3 bucket,
upload the new version, and call UpdateApplication
, specifying
the same Amazon S3 bucket and object name, and the new object version. The
application will restart with the new code package.
The following sample request for the UpdateApplication
action
reloads the application code and restarts the application. Update the
CurrentApplicationVersionId
to the current application
version. You can check the current application version using the
ListApplications
or DescribeApplication
actions. Update the bucket name suffix
(<username>
) with the suffix that you
chose in the Create two Amazon Kinesis data streams section.

Getting started: Flink 1.6.2 - deprecating
Note
Apache Flink versions 1.6, 1.8, and 1.11 have not been supported by the Apache Flink community for over three years. We plan to deprecate these versions in Amazon Managed Service for Apache Flink on November 5, 2024. Starting from this date, you will not be able to create new applications for these Flink versions. You can continue running existing applications at this time. You can upgrade your applications statefully using the in-place version upgrades feature in Amazon Managed Service for Apache Flink For more information, see Use in-place version upgrades for Apache Flink.
This topic contains a version of the Tutorial: Get started using the DataStream API in Managed Service for Apache Flink tutorial that uses Apache Flink 1.6.2.
Topics
- Components of a Managed Service for Apache Flink application
- Prerequisites for completing the exercises
- Step 1: Set up an AWS account and create an administrator user
- Step 2: Set up the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI)
- Step 3: Create and run a Managed Service for Apache Flink application
- Step 4: Clean up AWS resources
Components of a Managed Service for Apache Flink application
To process data, your Managed Service for Apache Flink application uses a Java/Apache Maven or Scala application that processes input and produces output using the Apache Flink runtime.
a Managed Service for Apache Flink has the following components:
-
Runtime properties: You can use runtime properties to configure your application without recompiling your application code.
-
Source: The application consumes data by using a source. A source connector reads data from a Kinesis data stream, an Amazon S3 bucket, etc. For more information, see Add streaming data sources.
-
Operators: The application processes data by using one or more operators. An operator can transform, enrich, or aggregate data. For more information, see Operators.
-
Sink: The application produces data to external sources by using sinks. A sink connector writes data to a Kinesis data stream, a Firehose stream, an Amazon S3 bucket, etc. For more information, see Write data using sinks.
After you create, compile, and package your application, you upload the code package to an Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) bucket. You then create a Managed Service for Apache Flink application. You pass in the code package location, a Kinesis data stream as the streaming data source, and typically a streaming or file location that receives the application's processed data.
Prerequisites for completing the exercises
To complete the steps in this guide, you must have the following:
-
Java Development Kit
(JDK) version 8. Set the JAVA_HOME
environment variable to point to your JDK install location. -
We recommend that you use a development environment (such as Eclipse Java Neon
or IntelliJ Idea ) to develop and compile your application. -
Git Client.
Install the Git client if you haven't already. -
Apache Maven Compiler Plugin
. Maven must be in your working path. To test your Apache Maven installation, enter the following: $ mvn -version
To get started, go to Step 1: Set up an AWS account and create an administrator user.
Step 1: Set up an AWS account and create an administrator user
Sign up for an AWS account
If you do not have an AWS account, complete the following steps to create one.
To sign up for an AWS account
Open https://portal.aws.amazon.com/billing/signup
. Follow the online instructions.
Part of the sign-up procedure involves receiving a phone call and entering a verification code on the phone keypad.
When you sign up for an AWS account, an AWS account root user is created. The root user has access to all AWS services and resources in the account. As a security best practice, assign administrative access to a user, and use only the root user to perform tasks that require root user access.
AWS sends you a confirmation email after the sign-up process is
complete. At any time, you can view your current account activity and manage your account by
going to https://aws.amazon.com/
Create a user with administrative access
After you sign up for an AWS account, secure your AWS account root user, enable AWS IAM Identity Center, and create an administrative user so that you don't use the root user for everyday tasks.
Secure your AWS account root user
-
Sign in to the AWS Management Console
as the account owner by choosing Root user and entering your AWS account email address. On the next page, enter your password. For help signing in by using root user, see Signing in as the root user in the AWS Sign-In User Guide.
-
Turn on multi-factor authentication (MFA) for your root user.
For instructions, see Enable a virtual MFA device for your AWS account root user (console) in the IAM User Guide.
Create a user with administrative access
-
Enable IAM Identity Center.
For instructions, see Enabling AWS IAM Identity Center in the AWS IAM Identity Center User Guide.
-
In IAM Identity Center, grant administrative access to a user.
For a tutorial about using the IAM Identity Center directory as your identity source, see Configure user access with the default IAM Identity Center directory in the AWS IAM Identity Center User Guide.
Sign in as the user with administrative access
-
To sign in with your IAM Identity Center user, use the sign-in URL that was sent to your email address when you created the IAM Identity Center user.
For help signing in using an IAM Identity Center user, see Signing in to the AWS access portal in the AWS Sign-In User Guide.
Assign access to additional users
-
In IAM Identity Center, create a permission set that follows the best practice of applying least-privilege permissions.
For instructions, see Create a permission set in the AWS IAM Identity Center User Guide.
-
Assign users to a group, and then assign single sign-on access to the group.
For instructions, see Add groups in the AWS IAM Identity Center User Guide.
Grant programmatic access
Users need programmatic access if they want to interact with AWS outside of the AWS Management Console. The way to grant programmatic access depends on the type of user that's accessing AWS.
To grant users programmatic access, choose one of the following options.
Which user needs programmatic access? | To | By |
---|---|---|
Workforce identity (Users managed in IAM Identity Center) |
Use temporary credentials to sign programmatic requests to the AWS CLI, AWS SDKs, or AWS APIs. |
Following the instructions for the interface that you want to use.
|
IAM | Use temporary credentials to sign programmatic requests to the AWS CLI, AWS SDKs, or AWS APIs. | Following the instructions in Using temporary credentials with AWS resources in the IAM User Guide. |
IAM | (Not recommended) Use long-term credentials to sign programmatic requests to the AWS CLI, AWS SDKs, or AWS APIs. |
Following the instructions for the interface that you want to use.
|
Step 2: Set up the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI)
In this step, you download and configure the AWS CLI to use with a Managed Service for Apache Flink.
Note
The getting started exercises in this guide assume that you are using
administrator credentials (adminuser
) in your account to perform the
operations.
Note
If you already have the AWS CLI installed, you might need to upgrade to get the latest functionality. For more information, see Installing the AWS Command Line Interface in the AWS Command Line Interface User Guide. To check the version of the AWS CLI, run the following command:
aws --version
The exercises in this tutorial require the following AWS CLI version or later:
aws-cli/1.16.63
To set up the AWS CLI
-
Download and configure the AWS CLI. For instructions, see the following topics in the AWS Command Line Interface User Guide:
-
Add a named profile for the administrator user in the AWS CLI
config
file. You use this profile when executing the AWS CLI commands. For more information about named profiles, see Named Profiles in the AWS Command Line Interface User Guide.[profile adminuser] aws_access_key_id =
adminuser access key ID
aws_secret_access_key =adminuser secret access key
region =aws-region
For a list of available AWS Regions, see Regions and Endpoints in the Amazon Web Services General Reference.
Note
The example code and commands in this tutorial use the US West (Oregon) Region. To use a different Region, change the Region in the code and commands for this tutorial to the Region you want to use.
-
Verify the setup by entering the following help command at the command prompt:
aws help
After you set up an AWS account and the AWS CLI, you can try the next exercise, in which you configure a sample application and test the end-to-end setup.
Next step
Step 3: Create and run a Managed Service for Apache Flink application
Step 3: Create and run a Managed Service for Apache Flink application
In this exercise, you create a Managed Service for Apache Flink application with data streams as a source and a sink.
This section contains the following steps:
Create two Amazon Kinesis data streams
Before you create a Managed Service for Apache Flink application for this exercise, create two Kinesis data
streams (ExampleInputStream
and ExampleOutputStream
). Your
application uses these streams for the application source and destination
streams.
You can create these streams using either the Amazon Kinesis console or the following AWS CLI command. For console instructions, see Creating and Updating Data Streams in the Amazon Kinesis Data Streams Developer Guide.
To create the data streams (AWS CLI)
-
To create the first stream (
ExampleInputStream
), use the following Amazon Kinesiscreate-stream
AWS CLI command.$ aws kinesis create-stream \ --stream-name ExampleInputStream \ --shard-count 1 \ --region us-west-2 \ --profile adminuser
-
To create the second stream that the application uses to write output, run the same command, changing the stream name to
ExampleOutputStream
.$ aws kinesis create-stream \ --stream-name ExampleOutputStream \ --shard-count 1 \ --region us-west-2 \ --profile adminuser
Write sample records to the input stream
In this section, you use a Python script to write sample records to the stream for the application to process.
Note
This section requires the AWS SDK for Python (Boto)
-
Create a file named
stock.py
with the following contents:import datetime import json import random import boto3 STREAM_NAME = "ExampleInputStream" def get_data(): return { "EVENT_TIME": datetime.datetime.now().isoformat(), "TICKER": random.choice(["AAPL", "AMZN", "MSFT", "INTC", "TBV"]), "PRICE": round(random.random() * 100, 2), } def generate(stream_name, kinesis_client): while True: data = get_data() print(data) kinesis_client.put_record( StreamName=stream_name, Data=json.dumps(data), PartitionKey="partitionkey" ) if __name__ == "__main__": generate(STREAM_NAME, boto3.client("kinesis"))
-
Later in the tutorial, you run the
stock.py
script to send data to the application.$ python stock.py
Download and examine the Apache Flink streaming Java code
The Java application code for this example is available from GitHub. To download the application code, do the following:
Clone the remote repository using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/aws-samples/amazon-kinesis-data-analytics-examples.git
Navigate to the
amazon-kinesis-data-analytics-java-examples/GettingStarted_1_6
directory.
Note the following about the application code:
A Project Object Model (pom.xml)
file contains information about the application's configuration and dependencies, including the a Managed Service for Apache Flink libraries. The
BasicStreamingJob.java
file contains themain
method that defines the application's functionality.The application uses a Kinesis source to read from the source stream. The following snippet creates the Kinesis source:
return env.addSource(new FlinkKinesisConsumer<>(inputStreamName, new SimpleStringSchema(), inputProperties));
Your application creates source and sink connectors to access external resources using a
StreamExecutionEnvironment
object.The application creates source and sink connectors using static properties. To use dynamic application properties, use the
createSourceFromApplicationProperties
andcreateSinkFromApplicationProperties
methods to create the connectors. These methods read the application's properties to configure the connectors.For more information about runtime properties, see Use runtime properties.
Compile the application code
In this section, you use the Apache Maven compiler to create the Java code for the application. For information about installing Apache Maven and the Java Development Kit (JDK), see Prerequisites for completing the exercises.
Note
In order to use the Kinesis connector with versions of Apache
Flink prior to 1.11, you need to download the
source code for the connector and build it as described in the Apache Flink documentation
To compile the application code
-
To use your application code, you compile and package it into a JAR file. You can compile and package your code in one of two ways:
Use the command-line Maven tool. Create your JAR file by running the following command in the directory that contains the
pom.xml
file:mvn package
Note
The -Dflink.version parameter is not required for Managed Service for Apache Flink Runtime version 1.0.1; it is only required for version 1.1.0 and later. For more information, see Specify your application's Apache Flink version.
Use your development environment. See your development environment documentation for details.
You can either upload your package as a JAR file, or you can compress your package and upload it as a ZIP file. If you create your application using the AWS CLI, you specify your code content type (JAR or ZIP).
-
If there are errors while compiling, verify that your
JAVA_HOME
environment variable is correctly set.
If the application compiles successfully, the following file is created:
target/aws-kinesis-analytics-java-apps-1.0.jar
Upload the Apache Flink streaming Java code
In this section, you create an Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) bucket and upload your application code.
To upload the application code
Open the Amazon S3 console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/s3/
. -
Choose Create bucket.
-
Enter
ka-app-code-
in the Bucket name field. Add a suffix to the bucket name, such as your user name, to make it globally unique. Choose Next.<username>
-
In the Configure options step, keep the settings as they are, and choose Next.
-
In the Set permissions step, keep the settings as they are, and choose Next.
-
Choose Create bucket.
-
In the Amazon S3 console, choose the ka-app-code-
<username>
bucket, and choose Upload. -
In the Select files step, choose Add files. Navigate to the
aws-kinesis-analytics-java-apps-1.0.jar
file that you created in the previous step. Choose Next. -
In the Set permissions step, keep the settings as they are. Choose Next.
-
In the Set properties step, keep the settings as they are. Choose Upload.
Your application code is now stored in an Amazon S3 bucket where your application can access it.
Create and run the Managed Service for Apache Flink application
You can create and run a Managed Service for Apache Flink application using either the console or the AWS CLI.
Note
When you create the application using the console, your AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) and Amazon CloudWatch Logs resources are created for you. When you create the application using the AWS CLI, you create these resources separately.
Create and run the application (console)
Follow these steps to create, configure, update, and run the application using the console.
Create the application
Open the Managed Service for Apache Flink console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/flink
-
On the Managed Service for Apache Flink dashboard, choose Create analytics application.

-
For Application name, enter
MyApplication
. -
For Description, enter
My java test app
. -
For Runtime, choose Apache Flink.
Note
Managed Service for Apache Flink uses Apache Flink version 1.8.2 or 1.6.2.
Change the version pulldown to Apache Flink 1.6.
-
-
For Access permissions, choose Create / update IAM role
kinesis-analytics-MyApplication-us-west-2
. -
Choose Create application.
Note
When you create a Managed Service for Apache Flink application using the console, you have the option of having an IAM role and policy created for your application. Your application uses this role and policy to access its dependent resources. These IAM resources are named using your application name and Region as follows:
-
Policy:
kinesis-analytics-service-
MyApplication
-us-west-2
-
Role:
kinesisanalytics-
MyApplication
-us-west-2
Edit the IAM policy
Edit the IAM policy to add permissions to access the Kinesis data streams.
Open the IAM console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/iam/
. -
Choose Policies. Choose the
kinesis-analytics-service-MyApplication-us-west-2
policy that the console created for you in the previous section. -
On the Summary page, choose Edit policy. Choose the JSON tab.
-
Add the highlighted section of the following policy example to the policy. Replace the sample account IDs (
012345678901
) with your account ID.{ "Version": "2012-10-17", "Statement": [ { "Sid": "ReadCode", "Effect": "Allow", "Action": [ "s3:GetObject", "s3:GetObjectVersion" ], "Resource": [ "arn:aws:s3:::ka-app-code-

:stream/ExampleOutputStream" }
Configure the application
-
On the MyApplication page, choose Configure.
-
On the Configure application page, provide the Code location:
-
For Amazon S3 bucket, enter
ka-app-code-
.<username>
-
For Path to Amazon S3 object, enter
java-getting-started-1.0.jar
.
-
-
Under Access to application resources, for Access permissions, choose Create / update IAM role
kinesis-analytics-MyApplication-us-west-2
. -
Enter the following application properties and values:
Group ID Key Value ProducerConfigProperties
flink.inputstream.initpos

us-west-2
ProducerConfigProperties
AggregationEnabled
false
-
Under Monitoring, ensure that the Monitoring metrics level is set to Application.
-
For CloudWatch logging, select the Enable check box.
-
Choose Update.
Note
When you choose to enable Amazon CloudWatch logging, Managed Service for Apache Flink creates a log group and log stream for you. The names of these resources are as follows:
-
Log group:
/aws/kinesis-analytics/MyApplication
-
Log stream:
kinesis-analytics-log-stream
Run the application
-
On the MyApplication page, choose Run. Confirm the action.
-
When the application is running, refresh the page. The console shows the Application graph.
Stop the application
On the MyApplication page, choose Stop. Confirm the action.
Update the application
Using the console, you can update application settings such as application properties, monitoring settings, and the location or file name of the application JAR. You can also reload the application JAR from the Amazon S3 bucket if you need to update the application code.
On the MyApplication page, choose Configure. Update the application settings and choose Update.
Create and run the application (AWS CLI)
In this section, you use the AWS CLI to create and run the Managed Service for Apache Flink
application. Managed Service for Apache Flink uses the kinesisanalyticsv2
AWS CLI command to create and
interact with Managed Service for Apache Flink applications.
Create a permissions policy
First, you create a permissions policy with two statements: one that
grants permissions for the read
action on the source stream,
and another that grants permissions for write
actions on the
sink stream. You then attach the policy to an IAM role (which you create
in the next section). Thus, when Managed Service for Apache Flink assumes the role, the service has
the necessary permissions to read from the source stream and write to
the sink stream.
Use the following code to create the
AKReadSourceStreamWriteSinkStream
permissions policy.
Replace

to create the Amazon S3 bucket to store the application code. Replace the
account ID in the Amazon Resource Names (ARNs) (username
) with your account ID.012345678901
{ "Version": "2012-10-17", "Statement": [ { "Sid": "S3", "Effect": "Allow", "Action": [ "s3:GetObject", "s3:GetObjectVersion" ], "Resource": ["arn:aws:s3:::ka-app-code-
username
", "arn:aws:s3:::ka-app-code-username
/*" ] }, { "Sid": "ReadInputStream", "Effect": "Allow", "Action": "kinesis:*", "Resource": "arn:aws:kinesis:us-west-2:012345678901
:stream/ExampleInputStream" }, { "Sid": "WriteOutputStream", "Effect": "Allow", "Action": "kinesis:*", "Resource": "arn:aws:kinesis:us-west-2:012345678901
:stream/ExampleOutputStream" } ] }
For step-by-step instructions to create a permissions policy, see Tutorial: Create and Attach Your First Customer Managed Policy in the IAM User Guide.
Note
To access other Amazon services, you can use the AWS SDK for Java. Managed Service for Apache Flink automatically sets the credentials required by the SDK to those of the service execution IAM role that is associated with your application. No additional steps are needed.
Create an IAM role
In this section, you create an IAM role that the Managed Service for Apache Flink application can assume to read a source stream and write to the sink stream.
Managed Service for Apache Flink cannot access your stream without permissions. You grant these permissions via an IAM role. Each IAM role has two policies attached. The trust policy grants Managed Service for Apache Flink permission to assume the role, and the permissions policy determines what Managed Service for Apache Flink can do after assuming the role.
You attach the permissions policy that you created in the preceding section to this role.
To create an IAM role
Open the IAM console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/iam/
. -
In the navigation pane, choose Roles, Create Role.
-
Under Select type of trusted identity, choose AWS Service. Under Choose the service that will use this role, choose Kinesis. Under Select your use case, choose Kinesis Analytics.
Choose Next: Permissions.
-
On the Attach permissions policies page, choose Next: Review. You attach permissions policies after you create the role.
-
On the Create role page, enter
MF-stream-rw-role
for the Role name. Choose Create role.Now you have created a new IAM role called
MF-stream-rw-role
. Next, you update the trust and permissions policies for the role. -
Attach the permissions policy to the role.
Note
For this exercise, Managed Service for Apache Flink assumes this role for both reading data from a Kinesis data stream (source) and writing output to another Kinesis data stream. So you attach the policy that you created in the previous step, Create a permissions policy.
-
On the Summary page, choose the Permissions tab.
-
Choose Attach Policies.
-
In the search box, enter
AKReadSourceStreamWriteSinkStream
(the policy that you created in the previous section). -
Choose the AKReadSourceStreamWriteSinkStream policy, and choose Attach policy.
-
You now have created the service execution role that your application uses to access resources. Make a note of the ARN of the new role.
For step-by-step instructions for creating a role, see Creating an IAM Role (Console) in the IAM User Guide.
Create the Managed Service for Apache Flink application
-
Save the following JSON code to a file named
create_request.json
. Replace the sample role ARN with the ARN for the role that you created previously. Replace the bucket ARN suffix (
) with the suffix that you chose in the previous section. Replace the sample account ID (username
) in the service execution role with your account ID.012345678901
{ "ApplicationName": "test", "ApplicationDescription": "my java test app", "RuntimeEnvironment": "FLINK-1_6", "ServiceExecutionRole": "arn:aws:iam::
012345678901
:role/MF-stream-rw-role", "ApplicationConfiguration": { "ApplicationCodeConfiguration": { "CodeContent": { "S3ContentLocation": { "BucketARN": "arn:aws:s3:::ka-app-code-username

Execute the
CreateApplication
action with the preceding request to create the application:aws kinesisanalyticsv2 create-application --cli-input-json file://create_request.json
The application is now created. You start the application in the next step.
Start the application
In this section, you use the StartApplication
action to start the
application.
To start the application
-
Save the following JSON code to a file named
start_request.json
.{ "ApplicationName": "test", "RunConfiguration": { "ApplicationRestoreConfiguration": { "ApplicationRestoreType": "RESTORE_FROM_LATEST_SNAPSHOT" } } }
-
Execute the
StartApplication
action with the preceding request to start the application:aws kinesisanalyticsv2 start-application --cli-input-json file://start_request.json
The application is now running. You can check the Managed Service for Apache Flink metrics on the Amazon CloudWatch console to verify that the application is working.
Stop the application
In this section, you use the StopApplication
action to stop the
application.
To stop the application
-
Save the following JSON code to a file named
stop_request.json
.{ "ApplicationName": "test" }
-
Execute the
StopApplication
action with the following request to stop the application:aws kinesisanalyticsv2 stop-application --cli-input-json file://stop_request.json
The application is now stopped.
Add a CloudWatch logging option
You can use the AWS CLI to add an Amazon CloudWatch log stream to your application. For information about using CloudWatch Logs with your application, see Set up application logging in Managed Service for Apache Flink.
Update environment properties
In this section, you use the UpdateApplication
action to change the
environment properties for the application without recompiling the
application code. In this example, you change the Region of the source
and destination streams.
To update environment properties for the application
-
Save the following JSON code to a file named
update_properties_request.json
.{"ApplicationName": "test", "CurrentApplicationVersionId": 1, "ApplicationConfigurationUpdate": { "EnvironmentPropertyUpdates": { "PropertyGroups": [ { "PropertyGroupId": "ProducerConfigProperties", "PropertyMap" : { "flink.stream.initpos" : "LATEST", "aws.region" : "us-west-2", "AggregationEnabled" : "false" } }, { "PropertyGroupId": "ConsumerConfigProperties", "PropertyMap" : { "aws.region" : "us-west-2" } } ] } } }
-
Execute the
UpdateApplication
action with the preceding request to update environment properties:aws kinesisanalyticsv2 update-application --cli-input-json file://update_properties_request.json
Update the application code
When you need to update your application code with a new version of your
code package, you use the UpdateApplication
AWS CLI action.
To use the AWS CLI, delete your previous code package from your Amazon S3 bucket,
upload the new version, and call UpdateApplication
, specifying
the same Amazon S3 bucket and object name. The application will restart with the
new code package.
The following sample request for the UpdateApplication
action
reloads the application code and restarts the application. Update the
CurrentApplicationVersionId
to the current application version.
You can check the current application version using the
ListApplications
or DescribeApplication
actions.
Update the bucket name suffix (<username>
)
with the suffix that you chose in the Create two Amazon Kinesis data streams section.
{ "ApplicationName": "test", "CurrentApplicationVersionId":

sink.producer.aggregation-enabled' = 'false'
Note
To set up required prerequisites for this exercise, first complete the Tutorial: Get started using the DataStream API in Managed Service for Apache Flink exercise.
This topic contains the following sections:
Create dependent resources
Before you create a Managed Service for Apache Flink application for this exercise, you create the following dependent resources:
Two Kinesis data streams (
ExampleInputStream
andExampleOutputStream
)An Amazon S3 bucket to store the application's code (
ka-app-code-
)<username>
You can create the Kinesis streams and Amazon S3 bucket using the console. For instructions for creating these resources, see the following topics:
Creating and Updating Data Streams in the Amazon Kinesis Data Streams Developer Guide. Name your data stream
ExampleInputStream
andExampleOutputStream
.How Do I Create an S3 Bucket? in the Amazon Simple Storage Service User Guide. Give the Amazon S3 bucket a globally unique name by appending your login name, such as
ka-app-code-
.<username>
Write sample records to the input stream
In this section, you use a Python script to write sample records to the stream for the application to process.
Note
This section requires the AWS SDK for Python (Boto)
-
Create a file named
stock.py
with the following contents:import datetime import json import random import boto3 STREAM_NAME = "ExampleInputStream" def get_data(): return { 'event_time': datetime.datetime.now().isoformat(), 'ticker': random.choice(['AAPL', 'AMZN', 'MSFT', 'INTC', 'TBV']), 'price': round(random.random() * 100, 2)} def generate(stream_name, kinesis_client): while True: data = get_data() print(data) kinesis_client.put_record( StreamName=stream_name, Data=json.dumps(data), PartitionKey="partitionkey") if __name__ == '__main__': generate(STREAM_NAME, boto3.client('kinesis', region_name='us-west-2'))
-
Run the
stock.py
script:$ python stock.py
Keep the script running while completing the rest of the tutorial.
Download and examine the application code
The Java application code for this example is available from GitHub. To download the application code, do the following:
Install the Git client if you haven't already. For more information, see Installing Git
. Clone the remote repository with the following command:
git clone https://github.com/aws-samples/amazon-kinesis-data-analytics-examples.git
Navigate to the
amazon-kinesis-data-analytics-java-examples/TumblingWindow
directory.
The application code is located in the TumblingWindowStreamingJob.java
file. Note the following
about the application code:
The application uses a Kinesis source to read from the source stream. The following snippet creates the Kinesis source:
return env.addSource(new FlinkKinesisConsumer<>(inputStreamName, new SimpleStringSchema(), inputProperties));
Add the following import statement:
import org.apache.flink.streaming.api.windowing.assigners.TumblingProcessingTimeWindows; //flink 1.13 onward
The application uses the
timeWindow
operator to find the count of values for each stock symbol over a 5-second tumbling window. The following code creates the operator and sends the aggregated data to a new Kinesis Data Streams sink:input.flatMap(new Tokenizer()) // Tokenizer for generating words .keyBy(0) // Logically partition the stream for each word .window(TumblingProcessingTimeWindows.of(Time.seconds(5))) //Flink 1.13 onward .sum(1) // Sum the number of words per partition .map(value -> value.f0 + "," + value.f1.toString() + "\n") .addSink(createSinkFromStaticConfig());
Compile the application code
To compile the application, do the following:
Install Java and Maven if you haven't already. For more information, see Complete the required prerequisites in the Tutorial: Get started using the DataStream API in Managed Service for Apache Flink tutorial.
Compile the application with the following command:
mvn package -Dflink.version=1.15.3
Note
The provided source code relies on libraries from Java 11.
Compiling the application creates the application JAR file (target/aws-kinesis-analytics-java-apps-1.0.jar
).

Log stream:
kinesis-analytics-log-stream
This log stream is used to monitor the application. This is not the same log stream that the application uses to send results.
Configure the application parallelism
This application example uses parallel execution of tasks. The following application code sets the parallelism of the min
operator:
.setParallelism(3) // Set parallelism for the min operator
The application parallelism can't be greater than the provisioned parallelism, which has a default of 1. To increase your application's parallelism, use the following AWS CLI action:
aws kinesisanalyticsv2 update-application --application-name MyApplication --current-application-version-id <VersionId> --application-configuration-update "{\"FlinkApplicationConfigurationUpdate\": { \"ParallelismConfigurationUpdate\": {\"ParallelismUpdate\": 5, \"ConfigurationTypeUpdate\": \"CUSTOM\" }}}"
You can retrieve the current application version ID using the DescribeApplication or ListApplications actions.

Example: Writing to an Amazon S3 bucket
In this exercise, you create a Managed Service for Apache Flink that has a Kinesis data stream as a source and an Amazon S3 bucket as a sink. Using the sink, you can verify the output of the application in the Amazon S3 console.
Note
To set up required prerequisites for this exercise, first complete the Tutorial: Get started using the DataStream API in Managed Service for Apache Flink exercise.
This topic contains the following sections:
- Create dependent resources
- Write sample records to the input stream
- Download and examine the application code
- Modify the application code
- Compile the application code
- Upload the Apache Flink streaming Java code
- Create and run the Managed Service for Apache Flink application
- Verify the application output
- Optional: Customize the source and sink
- Clean up AWS resources
Create dependent resources
Before you create a Managed Service for Apache Flink for this exercise, you create the following dependent resources:
-
A Kinesis data stream (
ExampleInputStream
). -
An Amazon S3 bucket to store the application's code and output (
ka-app-code-
)<username>
Note
Managed Service for Apache Flink cannot write data to Amazon S3 with server-side encryption enabled on Managed Service for Apache Flink.
You can create the Kinesis stream and Amazon S3 bucket using the console. For instructions for creating these resources, see the following topics:
-
Creating and Updating Data Streams in the Amazon Kinesis Data Streams Developer Guide. Name your data stream
ExampleInputStream
. -
How Do I Create an S3 Bucket? in the Amazon Simple Storage Service User Guide. Give the Amazon S3 bucket a globally unique name by appending your login name, such as
ka-app-code-
. Create two folders (<username>
code
anddata
) in the Amazon S3 bucket.
The application creates the following CloudWatch resources if they don't already exist:
-
A log group called
/AWS/KinesisAnalytics-java/MyApplication
. -
A log stream called
kinesis-analytics-log-stream
.
Write sample records to the input stream
In this section, you use a Python script to write sample records to the stream for the application to process.
Note
This section requires the AWS SDK for Python (Boto)
-
Create a file named
stock.py
with the following contents:import datetime import json import random import boto3 STREAM_NAME = "ExampleInputStream" def get_data(): return { 'event_time': datetime.datetime.now().isoformat(), 'ticker': random.choice(['AAPL', 'AMZN', 'MSFT', 'INTC', 'TBV']), 'price': round(random.random() * 100, 2)} def generate(stream_name, kinesis_client): while True: data = get_data() print(data) kinesis_client.put_record( StreamName=stream_name, Data=json.dumps(data), PartitionKey="partitionkey") if __name__ == '__main__': generate(STREAM_NAME, boto3.client('kinesis', region_name='us-west-2'))
-
Run the
stock.py
script:$ python stock.py
Keep the script running while completing the rest of the tutorial.
Download and examine the application code
The Java application code for this example is available from GitHub. To download the application code, do the following:
-
Install the Git client if you haven't already. For more information, see Installing Git
. -
Clone the remote repository with the following command:
git clone https://github.com/aws-samples/amazon-kinesis-data-analytics-examples.git
-
Navigate to the
amazon-kinesis-data-analytics-java-examples/S3Sink
directory.
The application code is located in the S3StreamingSinkJob.java
file. Note
the following about the application code:
-
The application uses a Kinesis source to read from the source stream. The following snippet creates the Kinesis source:
return env.addSource(new FlinkKinesisConsumer<>(inputStreamName, new SimpleStringSchema(), inputProperties));
-
You need to add the following import statement:
import org.apache.flink.streaming.api.windowing.assigners.TumblingProcessingTimeWindows;
-
The application uses an Apache Flink S3 sink to write to Amazon S3.
The sink reads messages in a tumbling window, encodes messages into S3 bucket objects, and sends the encoded objects to the S3 sink. The following code encodes objects for sending to Amazon S3:
input.map(value -> { // Parse the JSON JsonNode jsonNode = jsonParser.readValue(value, JsonNode.class); return new Tuple2<>(jsonNode.get("ticker").toString(), 1); }).returns(Types.TUPLE(Types.STRING, Types.INT)) .keyBy(v -> v.f0) // Logically partition the stream for each word .window(TumblingProcessingTimeWindows.of(Time.minutes(1))) .sum(1) // Count the appearances by ticker per partition .map(value -> value.f0 + " count: " + value.f1.toString() + "\n") .addSink(createS3SinkFromStaticConfig());
Note
The application uses a Flink StreamingFileSink
object to write to
Amazon S3. For more information about the StreamingFileSink
, see StreamingFileSink
Modify the application code
In this section, you modify the application code to write output to your Amazon S3 bucket.
Update the following line with your user name to specify the application's output location:
private static final String s3SinkPath = "s3a://ka-app-code-
<username>
/data";
Compile the application code
To compile the application, do the following:
-
Install Java and Maven if you haven't already. For more information, see Complete the required prerequisites in the Tutorial: Get started using the DataStream API in Managed Service for Apache Flink tutorial.
-
Compile the application with the following command:
mvn package -Dflink.version=1.15.3
Compiling the application creates the application JAR file
(target/aws-kinesis-analytics-java-apps-1.0.jar
).
Note
The provided source code relies on libraries from Java 11.
Upload the Apache Flink streaming Java code
In this section, you upload your application code to the Amazon S3 bucket you created in the Create dependent resources section.
-
In the Amazon S3 console, choose the ka-app-code-
<username>
bucket, navigate to the code folder, and choose Upload. -
In the Select files step, choose Add files. Navigate to the
aws-kinesis-analytics-java-apps-1.0.jar
file that you created in the previous step. -
You don't need to change any of the settings for the object, so choose Upload.
Your application code is now stored in an Amazon S3 bucket where your application can access it.

, { "Sid": "ReadInputStream", "Effect": "Allow", "Action": "kinesis:*", "Resource": "arn:aws:kinesis:us-west-2:
] }012345678901
:stream/ExampleInputStream" },
Configure the application
-
On the MyApplication page, choose Configure.
-
On the Configure application page, provide the Code location:
-
For Amazon S3 bucket, enter
ka-app-code-
.<username>
-
For Path to Amazon S3 object, enter
code/aws-kinesis-analytics-java-apps-1.0.jar
.
-
-
Under Access to application resources, for Access permissions, choose Create / update IAM role
kinesis-analytics-MyApplication-us-west-2
. -
Under Monitoring, ensure that the Monitoring metrics level is set to Application.
-
For CloudWatch logging, select the Enable check box.
-
Choose Update.
Note
When you choose to enable CloudWatch logging, Managed Service for Apache Flink creates a log group and log stream for you. The names of these resources are as follows:
-
Log group:
/aws/kinesis-analytics/MyApplication
-
Log stream:
kinesis-analytics-log-stream
This log stream is used to monitor the application. This is not the same log stream that the application uses to send results.
Run the application
-
On the MyApplication page, choose Run. Leave the Run without snapshot option selected, and confirm the action.
-
When the application is running, refresh the page. The console shows the Application graph.
Verify the application output
In the Amazon S3 console, open the data folder in your S3 bucket.
After a few minutes, objects containing aggregated data from the application will appear.
Note
Aggregration is enabled by default in Flink. To disable it, use the following:
sink.producer.aggregation-enabled' = 'false'
Optional: Customize the source and sink
In this section, you customize settings on the source and sink objects.
Note
After changing the code sections described in the sections following, do the following to reload the application code:
-
Repeat the steps in the Compile the application code section to compile the updated application code.
-
Repeat the steps in the Upload the Apache Flink streaming Java code section to upload the updated application code.
-
On the application's page in the console, choose Configure and then choose Update to reload the updated application code into your application.
This section contains the following sections:
Configure data partitioning
In this section, you configure the names of the folders that the streaming file sink creates in the S3 bucket. You do this by adding a bucket assigner to the streaming file sink.
To customize the folder names created in the S3 bucket, do the following:
-
Add the following import statements to the beginning of the
S3StreamingSinkJob.java
file:import org.apache.flink.streaming.api.functions.sink.filesystem.rollingpolicies.DefaultRollingPolicy; import org.apache.flink.streaming.api.functions.sink.filesystem.bucketassigners.DateTimeBucketAssigner;
-
Update the
createS3SinkFromStaticConfig()
method in the code to look like the following:private static StreamingFileSink<String> createS3SinkFromStaticConfig() { final StreamingFileSink<String> sink = StreamingFileSink .forRowFormat(new Path(s3SinkPath), new SimpleStringEncoder<String>("UTF-8"))
.withBucketAssigner(new DateTimeBucketAssigner("yyyy-MM-dd--HH")) .withRollingPolicy(DefaultRollingPolicy.create().build())
.build(); return sink; }
The preceding code example uses the DateTimeBucketAssigner
with a custom date format to create folders in the S3 bucket. The DateTimeBucketAssigner
uses the current system time to create bucket names. If you want to create a custom bucket assigner to further customize the created folder names, you can create a class that implements BucketAssignergetBucketId
method.
A custom implementation of BucketAssigner
can use the Context
Configure read frequency
In this section, you configure the frequency of reads on the source stream.
The Kinesis Streams consumer reads from the source stream five times per second by default. This frequency will cause issues if there is more than one client reading from the stream, or if the application needs to retry reading a record. You can avoid these issues by setting the read frequency of the consumer.
To set the read frequency of the Kinesis consumer, you set the
SHARD_GETRECORDS_INTERVAL_MILLIS
setting.
The following code example sets the SHARD_GETRECORDS_INTERVAL_MILLIS
setting to one second:
kinesisConsumerConfig.setProperty(ConsumerConfigConstants.SHARD_GETRECORDS_INTERVAL_MILLIS, "1000");
Configure write buffering
In this section, you configure the write frequency and other settings of the sink.
By default, the application writes to the destination bucket every minute. You can
change this interval and other settings by configuring the
DefaultRollingPolicy
object.
Note
The Apache Flink streaming file sink writes to its output bucket every time the application creates a checkpoint. The application creates a checkpoint every minute by default. To increase the write interval of the S3 sink, you must also increase the checkpoint interval.
To configure the DefaultRollingPolicy
object, do the
following:
-
Increase the application's
CheckpointInterval
setting. The following input for the UpdateApplication action sets the checkpoint interval to 10 minutes:{ "ApplicationConfigurationUpdate": { "FlinkApplicationConfigurationUpdate": { "CheckpointConfigurationUpdate": { "ConfigurationTypeUpdate" : "CUSTOM", "CheckpointIntervalUpdate": 600000 } } }, "ApplicationName": "MyApplication", "CurrentApplicationVersionId":
5
}To use the preceding code, specify the current application version. You can retrieve the application version by using the ListApplications action.
-
Add the following import statement to the beginning of the
S3StreamingSinkJob.java
file:import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;
-
Update the
createS3SinkFromStaticConfig
method in theS3StreamingSinkJob.java
file to look like the following:private static StreamingFileSink<String> createS3SinkFromStaticConfig() { final StreamingFileSink<String> sink = StreamingFileSink .forRowFormat(new Path(s3SinkPath), new SimpleStringEncoder<String>("UTF-8"))
.withBucketAssigner(new DateTimeBucketAssigner("yyyy-MM-dd--HH")) .withRollingPolicy( DefaultRollingPolicy.create() .withRolloverInterval(TimeUnit.MINUTES.toMillis(8)) .withInactivityInterval(TimeUnit.MINUTES.toMillis(5)) .withMaxPartSize(1024 * 1024 * 1024) .build())
.build(); return sink; }The preceding code example sets the frequency of writes to the Amazon S3 bucket to 8 minutes.

In this section, you write records to the source topic. The application reads records from the source topic and writes them to the destination topic. You verify the application is working by writing records to the source topic and reading records from the destination topic.
To write and read records from the topics, follow the steps in Step 6: Produce and Consume Data in the Getting Started Using Amazon MSK tutorial.
To read from the destination topic, use the destination topic name instead of the source topic in your second connection to the cluster:
bin/kafka-console-consumer.sh --bootstrap-server
BootstrapBrokerString
--consumer.config client.properties --topic AWSKafkaTutorialTopicDestination --from-beginning
If no records appear in the destination topic, see the Cannot access resources in a VPC section in the Troubleshoot Managed Service for Apache Flink topic.
Example: Use an EFO consumer with a Kinesis data stream
Note
For current examples, see Examples for creating and working with Managed Service for Apache Flink applications.
In this exercise, you create a Managed Service for Apache Flink application that reads from a Kinesis data stream using an Enhanced Fan-Out (EFO) consumer. If a Kinesis consumer uses EFO, the Kinesis Data Streams service gives it its own dedicated bandwidth, rather than having the consumer share the fixed bandwidth of the stream with the other consumers reading from the stream.
For more information about using EFO with the Kinesis consumer, see
FLIP-128: Enhanced Fan Out for Kinesis Consumers
The application you create in this example uses AWS Kinesis connector (flink-connector-kinesis) 1.15.3.
Note
To set up required prerequisites for this exercise, first complete the Tutorial: Get started using the DataStream API in Managed Service for Apache Flink exercise.
This topic contains the following sections:
Create dependent resources
Before you create a Managed Service for Apache Flink application for this exercise, you create the following dependent resources:
Two Kinesis data streams (
ExampleInputStream
andExampleOutputStream
)An Amazon S3 bucket to store the application's code (
ka-app-code-
)<username>
You can create the Kinesis streams and Amazon S3 bucket using the console. For instructions for creating these resources, see the following topics:
Creating and Updating Data Streams in the Amazon Kinesis Data Streams Developer Guide. Name your data stream
ExampleInputStream
andExampleOutputStream
.How Do I Create an S3 Bucket? in the Amazon Simple Storage Service User Guide. Give the Amazon S3 bucket a globally unique name by appending your login name, such as
ka-app-code-
.<username>
Write sample records to the input stream
In this section, you use a Python script to write sample records to the stream for the application to process.
Note
This section requires the AWS SDK for Python (Boto)
-
Create a file named
stock.py
with the following contents:import datetime import json import random import boto3 STREAM_NAME = "ExampleInputStream" def get_data(): return { 'event_time': datetime.datetime.now().isoformat(), 'ticker': random.choice(['AAPL', 'AMZN', 'MSFT', 'INTC', 'TBV']), 'price': round(random.random() * 100, 2)} def generate(stream_name, kinesis_client): while True: data = get_data() print(data) kinesis_client.put_record( StreamName=stream_name, Data=json.dumps(data), PartitionKey="partitionkey") if __name__ == '__main__': generate(STREAM_NAME, boto3.client('kinesis', region_name='us-west-2'))
-
Run the
stock.py
script:$ python stock.py
Keep the script running while completing the rest of the tutorial.
Download and examine the application code
The Java application code for this example is available from GitHub. To download the application code, do the following:
Install the Git client if you haven't already. For more information, see Installing Git
. Clone the remote repository with the following command:
git clone https://github.com/aws-samples/amazon-kinesis-data-analytics-examples.git
Navigate to the
amazon-kinesis-data-analytics-java-examples/EfoConsumer
directory.
The application code is located in the EfoApplication.java
file. Note the following
about the application code:
You enable the EFO consumer by setting the following parameters on the Kinesis consumer:
RECORD_PUBLISHER_TYPE: Set this parameter to EFO for your application to use an EFO consumer to access the Kinesis Data Stream data.
EFO_CONSUMER_NAME: Set this parameter to a string value that is unique among the consumers of this stream. Re-using a consumer name in the same Kinesis Data Stream will cause the previous consumer using that name to be terminated.
The following code example demonstrates how to assign values to the consumer configuration properties to use an EFO consumer to read from the source stream:
consumerConfig.putIfAbsent(RECORD_PUBLISHER_TYPE, "EFO"); consumerConfig.putIfAbsent(EFO_CONSUMER_NAME, "basic-efo-flink-app");
Compile the application code
To compile the application, do the following:
Install Java and Maven if you haven't already. For more information, see Complete the required prerequisites in the Tutorial: Get started using the DataStream API in Managed Service for Apache Flink tutorial.
Compile the application with the following command:
mvn package -Dflink.version=1.15.3
Note
The provided source code relies on libraries from Java 11.
Compiling the application creates the application JAR file (target/aws-kinesis-analytics-java-apps-1.0.jar
).
Upload the Apache Flink streaming Java code
In this section, you upload your application code to the Amazon S3 bucket you created in the Create dependent resources section.
-
In the Amazon S3 console, choose the ka-app-code-
<username>
bucket, and choose Upload. -
In the Select files step, choose Add files. Navigate to the
aws-kinesis-analytics-java-apps-1.0.jar
file that you created in the previous step. You don't need to change any of the settings for the object, so choose Upload.
Your application code is now stored in an Amazon S3 bucket where your application can access it.

Configure the application
-
On the MyApplication page, choose Configure.
-
On the Configure application page, provide the Code location:
-
For Amazon S3 bucket, enter
ka-app-code-
.<username>
-
For Path to Amazon S3 object, enter
java-getting-started-1.0.jar
.
-
-
Under Access to application resources, for Access permissions, choose Create / update IAM role
kinesis-analytics-MyApplication-us-west-2
. -
Under Monitoring, ensure that the Monitoring metrics level is set to Application.
-
For CloudWatch logging, select the Enable check box.
-
Choose Update.
Note
When you choose to enable CloudWatch logging, Managed Service for Apache Flink creates a log group and log stream for you. The names of these resources are as follows:
-
Log group:
/aws/kinesis-analytics/MyApplication
-
Log stream:
kinesis-analytics-log-stream
Run the application
The Flink job graph can be viewed by running the application, opening the Apache Flink dashboard, and choosing the desired Flink job.
Stop the application
On the MyApplication page, choose Stop. Confirm the action.
Update the application
Using the console, you can update application settings such as application properties, monitoring settings, and the location or file name of the application JAR.
On the MyApplication page, choose Configure. Update the application settings and choose Update.
Note
To update the application's code on the console, you must either change the object name of the JAR, use a different S3 bucket, or use the AWS CLI as described in the Update the application code section. If the file name or the bucket does not change, the application code is not reloaded when you choose Update on the Configure page.
Create and run the application (AWS CLI)
In this section, you use the AWS CLI to create and run the Managed Service for Apache Flink application.
Create a permissions policy
First, you create a permissions policy with two statements: one that
grants permissions for the read
action on the source stream, and
another that grants permissions for write
actions on the sink
stream. You then attach the policy to an IAM role (which you create in the
next section). Thus, when Managed Service for Apache Flink assumes the role, the service has the necessary
permissions to read from the source stream and write to the sink stream.
Use the following code to create the
AKReadSourceStreamWriteSinkStream
permissions policy.
Replace username
with the user name that you will
use to create the Amazon S3 bucket to store the application code. Replace the
account ID in the Amazon Resource Names (ARNs) (
) with your account ID.012345678901
{ "Version": "2012-10-17", "Statement": [ { "Sid": "S3", "Effect": "Allow", "Action": [ "s3:GetObject", "s3:GetObjectVersion" ], "Resource": ["arn:aws:s3:::ka-app-code-
username
", "arn:aws:s3:::ka-app-code-username
/*" ] }, { "Sid": "ReadInputStream", "Effect": "Allow", "Action": "kinesis:*", "Resource": "arn:aws:kinesis:us-west-2:012345678901
:stream/ExampleInputStream" }, { "Sid": "WriteDeliveryStream", "Effect": "Allow", "Action": "firehose:*", "Resource": "arn:aws:firehose:us-west-2:012345678901
:deliverystream/ExampleDeliveryStream" } ] }
For step-by-step instructions to create a permissions policy, see Tutorial: Create and Attach Your First Customer Managed Policy in the IAM User Guide.
Note
To access other Amazon services, you can use the AWS SDK for Java. Managed Service for Apache Flink automatically sets the credentials required by the SDK to those of the service execution IAM role that is associated with your application. No additional steps are needed.
Create an IAM role
In this section, you create an IAM role that the Managed Service for Apache Flink application can assume to read a source stream and write to the sink stream.
Managed Service for Apache Flink cannot access your stream if it doesn't have permissions. You grant these permissions via an IAM role. Each IAM role has two policies attached. The trust policy grants Managed Service for Apache Flink permission to assume the role. The permissions policy determines what Managed Service for Apache Flink can do after assuming the role.
You attach the permissions policy that you created in the preceding section to this role.
To create an IAM role
Open the IAM console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/iam/
. -
In the navigation pane, choose Roles, Create Role.
-
Under Select type of trusted identity, choose AWS Service. Under Choose the service that will use this role, choose Kinesis. Under Select your use case, choose Kinesis Analytics.
Choose Next: Permissions.
-
On the Attach permissions policies page, choose Next: Review. You attach permissions policies after you create the role.
-
On the Create role page, enter
MF-stream-rw-role
for the Role name. Choose Create role.Now you have created a new IAM role called
MF-stream-rw-role
. Next, you update the trust and permissions policies for the role. -
Attach the permissions policy to the role.
Note
For this exercise, Managed Service for Apache Flink assumes this role for both reading data from a Kinesis data stream (source) and writing output to another Kinesis data stream. So you attach the policy that you created in the previous step, Create a permissions policy.
-
On the Summary page, choose the Permissions tab.
-
Choose Attach Policies.
-
In the search box, enter
AKReadSourceStreamWriteSinkStream
(the policy that you created in the previous section). -
Choose the AKReadSourceStreamWriteSinkStream policy, and choose Attach policy.
-
You now have created the service execution role that your application will use to access resources. Make a note of the ARN of the new role.
For step-by-step instructions for creating a role, see Creating an IAM Role (Console) in the IAM User Guide.
Create the Managed Service for Apache Flink application
-
Save the following JSON code to a file named
create_request.json
. Replace the sample role ARN with the ARN for the role that you created previously. Replace the bucket ARN suffix with the suffix that you chose in the Create dependent resources section (ka-app-code-
.) Replace the sample account ID (<username>
012345678901
) in the service execution role with your account ID.{ "ApplicationName": "test", "ApplicationDescription": "my java test app", "RuntimeEnvironment": "FLINK-1_15", "ServiceExecutionRole": "arn:aws:iam::
012345678901
:role/MF-stream-rw-role", "ApplicationConfiguration": { "ApplicationCodeConfiguration": { "CodeContent": { "S3ContentLocation": { "BucketARN": "arn:aws:s3:::ka-app-code-username
", "FileKey": "java-getting-started-1.0.jar" } }, "CodeContentType": "ZIPFILE" } } } } -
Execute the
CreateApplication
action with the preceding request to create the application:aws kinesisanalyticsv2 create-application --cli-input-json file://create_request.json
The application is now created. You start the application in the next step.
Start the application
In this section, you use the StartApplication
action to start the
application.
To start the application
-
Save the following JSON code to a file named
start_request.json
.{ "ApplicationName": "test", "RunConfiguration": { "ApplicationRestoreConfiguration": { "ApplicationRestoreType": "RESTORE_FROM_LATEST_SNAPSHOT" } } }
-
Execute the
StartApplication
action with the preceding request to start the application:aws kinesisanalyticsv2 start-application --cli-input-json file://start_request.json
The application is now running. You can check the Managed Service for Apache Flink metrics on the Amazon CloudWatch console to verify that the application is working.
Stop the application
In this section, you use the StopApplication
action to stop the
application.
To stop the application
-
Save the following JSON code to a file named
stop_request.json
.{ "ApplicationName": "test" }
-
Execute the
StopApplication
action with the following request to stop the application:aws kinesisanalyticsv2 stop-application --cli-input-json file://stop_request.json
The application is now stopped.
Add a CloudWatch logging option
You can use the AWS CLI to add an Amazon CloudWatch log stream to your application. For information about using CloudWatch Logs with your application, see Set up application logging in Managed Service for Apache Flink.
Update the application code
When you need to update your application code with a new version of your
code package, you use the UpdateApplication
AWS CLI action.
To use the AWS CLI, delete your previous code package from your Amazon S3 bucket,
upload the new version, and call UpdateApplication
, specifying the
same Amazon S3 bucket and object name.
The following sample request for the UpdateApplication
action
reloads the application code and restarts the application. Update the CurrentApplicationVersionId
to the current application version. You
can check the current application version using the ListApplications
or DescribeApplication
actions. Update the bucket
name suffix (<username
>) with the suffix you chose in the Create dependent resources section.
{ "ApplicationName": "test", "CurrentApplicationVersionId":
1
, "ApplicationConfigurationUpdate": { "ApplicationCodeConfigurationUpdate": { "CodeContentUpdate": { "S3ContentLocationUpdate": { "BucketARNUpdate": "arn:aws:s3:::ka-app-code-username
", "FileKeyUpdate": "java-getting-started-1.0.jar" } } } } }

Example: Read from a Kinesis stream in a different account
Note
For current examples, see Examples for creating and working with Managed Service for Apache Flink applications.
This example demonstrates how to create an Managed Service for Apache Flink application that reads data from a Kinesis stream in a different account. In this example, you will use one account for the source Kinesis stream, and a second account for the Managed Service for Apache Flink application and sink Kinesis stream.
This topic contains the following sections:
Prerequisites
In this tutorial, you modify the Getting Started example to read data from a Kinesis stream in a different account. Complete the Tutorial: Get started using the DataStream API in Managed Service for Apache Flink tutorial before proceeding.
You need two AWS accounts to complete this tutorial: one for the source stream, and one for the application and the sink stream. Use the AWS account you used for the Getting Started tutorial for the application and sink stream. Use a different AWS account for the source stream.
Setup
You will access your two AWS accounts by using named profiles. Modify your AWS credentials and configuration files to include two profiles that contain the region and connection information for your two accounts.
The following example credential file contains two named profiles, ka-source-stream-account-profile
and
ka-sink-stream-account-profile
. Use the account you used for the Getting Started tutorial for the sink stream account.
[ka-source-stream-account-profile] aws_access_key_id=AKIAIOSFODNN7EXAMPLE aws_secret_access_key=wJalrXUtnFEMI/K7MDENG/bPxRfiCYEXAMPLEKEY [ka-sink-stream-account-profile] aws_access_key_id=AKIAI44QH8DHBEXAMPLE aws_secret_access_key=je7MtGbClwBF/2Zp9Utk/h3yCo8nvbEXAMPLEKEY
The following example configuration file contains the same named profiles with region and output format information.
[profile ka-source-stream-account-profile] region=us-west-2 output=json [profile ka-sink-stream-account-profile] region=us-west-2 output=json
Note
This tutorial does not use the ka-sink-stream-account-profile
. It is included as an example of
how to access two different AWS accounts using profiles.
For more information on using named profiles with the AWS CLI, see Named Profiles in the AWS Command Line Interface documentation.
Create source Kinesis stream
In this section, you will create the Kinesis stream in the source account.
Enter the following command to create the Kinesis stream that the application will use
for input. Note that the --profile
parameter specifies which account
profile to use.
$ aws kinesis create-stream \ --stream-name SourceAccountExampleInputStream \ --shard-count 1 \ --profile ka-source-stream-account-profile
Create and update IAM roles and policies
To allow object access across AWS accounts, you create an IAM role and policy in the source account. Then, you modify the IAM policy in the sink account. For information about creating IAM roles and policies, see the following topics in the AWS Identity and Access Management User Guide:
Sink account roles and policies
Edit the
kinesis-analytics-service-MyApplication-us-west-2
policy from the Getting Started tutorial. This policy allows the role in the source account to be assumed in order to read the source stream.Note
When you use the console to create your application, the console creates a policy called
kinesis-analytics-service-
, and a role called<application name>
-<application region>
kinesisanalytics-
.<application name>
-<application region>
Add the highlighted section below to the policy. Replace the sample account ID (
SOURCE01234567
) with the ID of the account you will use for the source stream.{ "Version": "2012-10-17", "Statement": [
{ "Sid": "AssumeRoleInSourceAccount", "Effect": "Allow", "Action": "sts:AssumeRole", "Resource": "arn:aws:iam::SOURCE01234567:role/KA-Source-Stream-Role" },
{ "Sid": "ReadCode", "Effect": "Allow", "Action": [ "s3:GetObject", "s3:GetObjectVersion" ], "Resource": [ "arn:aws:s3:::ka-app-code-username
/aws-kinesis-analytics-java-apps-1.0.jar" ] }, { "Sid": "ListCloudwatchLogGroups", "Effect": "Allow", "Action": [ "logs:DescribeLogGroups" ], "Resource": [ "arn:aws:logs:us-west-2:SINK012345678
:log-group:*" ] }, { "Sid": "ListCloudwatchLogStreams", "Effect": "Allow", "Action": [ "logs:DescribeLogStreams" ], "Resource": [ "arn:aws:logs:us-west-2:SINK012345678
:log-group:/aws/kinesis-analytics/MyApplication:log-stream:*" ] }, { "Sid": "PutCloudwatchLogs", "Effect": "Allow", "Action": [ "logs:PutLogEvents" ], "Resource": [ "arn:aws:logs:us-west-2:SINK012345678
:log-group:/aws/kinesis-analytics/MyApplication:log-stream:kinesis-analytics-log-stream" ] } ] }Open the
kinesis-analytics-MyApplication-us-west-2
role, and make a note of its Amazon Resource Name (ARN). You will need it in the next section. The role ARN looks like the following.arn:aws:iam::
SINK012345678
:role/service-role/kinesis-analytics-MyApplication-us-west-2
Source account roles and policies
Create a policy in the source account called
KA-Source-Stream-Policy
. Use the following JSON for the policy. Replace the sample account number with the account number of the source account.{ "Version": "2012-10-17", "Statement": [ { "Sid": "ReadInputStream", "Effect": "Allow", "Action": [ "kinesis:DescribeStream", "kinesis:GetRecords", "kinesis:GetShardIterator", "kinesis:ListShards" ], "Resource": "arn:aws:kinesis:us-west-2:
SOURCE123456784
:stream/SourceAccountExampleInputStream" } ] }Create a role in the source account called
MF-Source-Stream-Role
. Do the following to create the role using the Managed Flink use case:In the IAM Management Console, choose Create Role.
On the Create Role page, choose AWS Service. In the service list, choose Kinesis.
In the Select your use case section, choose Managed Service for Apache Flink.
Choose Next: Permissions.
Add the
KA-Source-Stream-Policy
permissions policy you created in the previous step. Choose Next:Tags.Choose Next: Review.
Name the role
KA-Source-Stream-Role
. Your application will use this role to access the source stream.
Add the
kinesis-analytics-MyApplication-us-west-2
ARN from the sink account to the trust relationship of theKA-Source-Stream-Role
role in the source account:Open the
KA-Source-Stream-Role
in the IAM console.Choose the Trust Relationships tab.
Choose Edit trust relationship.
Use the following code for the trust relationship. Replace the sample account ID (
) with your sink account ID.SINK012345678
{ "Version": "2012-10-17", "Statement": [ { "Effect": "Allow", "Principal": { "AWS": "arn:aws:iam::
:role/service-role/kinesis-analytics-MyApplication-us-west-2" }, "Action": "sts:AssumeRole" } ] }SINK012345678
Update the Python script
In this section, you update the Python script that generates sample data to use the source account profile.
Update the stock.py
script with the following highlighted changes.
import json import boto3 import random import datetime
import os os.environ['AWS_PROFILE'] ='ka-source-stream-account-profile' os.environ['AWS_DEFAULT_REGION'] = 'us-west-2'
kinesis = boto3.client('kinesis') def getReferrer(): data = {} now = datetime.datetime.now() str_now = now.isoformat() data['event_time'] = str_now data['ticker'] = random.choice(['AAPL', 'AMZN', 'MSFT', 'INTC', 'TBV']) price = random.random() * 100 data['price'] = round(price, 2) return data while True: data = json.dumps(getReferrer()) print(data) kinesis.put_record( StreamName="SourceAccountExampleInputStream
", Data=data, PartitionKey="partitionkey")
Update the Java application
In this section, you update the Java application code to assume the source account role when reading from the source stream.
Make the following changes to the BasicStreamingJob.java
file. Replace the example source account number (SOURCE01234567
)
with your source account number.
package com.amazonaws.services.managed-flink; import com.amazonaws.services.managed-flink.runtime.KinesisAnalyticsRuntime; import org.apache.flink.api.common.serialization.SimpleStringSchema; import org.apache.flink.streaming.api.datastream.DataStream; import org.apache.flink.streaming.api.environment.StreamExecutionEnvironment; import org.apache.flink.streaming.connectors.kinesis.FlinkKinesisConsumer; import org.apache.flink.streaming.connectors.kinesis.FlinkKinesisProducer; import org.apache.flink.streaming.connectors.kinesis.config.ConsumerConfigConstants;

inputProperties.setProperty(ConsumerConfigConstants.AWS_REGION, region); inputProperties.setProperty(ConsumerConfigConstants.STREAM_INITIAL_POSITION, "LATEST"); return env.addSource(new FlinkKinesisConsumer<>(inputStreamName, new SimpleStringSchema(), inputProperties)); } private static KinesisStreamsSink<String> createSinkFromStaticConfig() { Properties outputProperties = new Properties(); outputProperties.setProperty(AWSConfigConstants.AWS_REGION, region); return KinesisStreamsSink.<String>builder() .setKinesisClientProperties(outputProperties) .setSerializationSchema(new SimpleStringSchema()) .setStreamName(outputProperties.getProperty("OUTPUT_STREAM", "ExampleOutputStream")) .setPartitionKeyGenerator(element -> String.valueOf(element.hashCode())) .build(); } public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { // set up the streaming execution environment final StreamExecutionEnvironment env = StreamExecutionEnvironment.getExecutionEnvironment(); DataStream<String> input = createSourceFromStaticConfig(env); input.addSink(createSinkFromStaticConfig()); env.execute("Flink Streaming Java API Skeleton"); } }
Build, upload, and run the application
Do the following to update and run the application:
Build the application again by running the following command in the directory with the
pom.xml
file.mvn package -Dflink.version=1.15.3
Delete the previous JAR file from your Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) bucket, and then upload the new
aws-kinesis-analytics-java-apps-1.0.jar
file to the S3 bucket.In the application's page in the Managed Service for Apache Flink console, choose Configure, Update to reload the application JAR file.
Run the
stock.py
script to send data to the source stream.python stock.py
The application now reads data from the Kinesis stream in the other account.
You can verify that the application is working by checking the PutRecords.Bytes
metric of the
ExampleOutputStream
stream. If there is activity in the output stream, the application is functioning properly.
Tutorial: Using a custom truststore with Amazon MSK
Note
For current examples, see Examples for creating and working with Managed Service for Apache Flink applications.
Current data source APIs
If you are using the current data source APIs, your application can leverage the Amazon MSK
Config Providers utility described here
... // define names of config providers: builder.setProperty("config.providers", "secretsmanager,s3import"); // provide implementation classes for each provider: builder.setProperty("config.providers.secretsmanager.class", "com.amazonaws.kafka.config.providers.SecretsManagerConfigProvider"); builder.setProperty("config.providers.s3import.class", "com.amazonaws.kafka.config.providers.S3ImportConfigProvider"); String region = appProperties.get(Helpers.S3_BUCKET_REGION_KEY).toString(); String keystoreS3Bucket = appProperties.get(Helpers.KEYSTORE_S3_BUCKET_KEY).toString(); String keystoreS3Path = appProperties.get(Helpers.KEYSTORE_S3_PATH_KEY).toString(); String truststoreS3Bucket = appProperties.get(Helpers.TRUSTSTORE_S3_BUCKET_KEY).toString(); String truststoreS3Path = appProperties.get(Helpers.TRUSTSTORE_S3_PATH_KEY).toString(); String keystorePassSecret = appProperties.get(Helpers.KEYSTORE_PASS_SECRET_KEY).toString(); String keystorePassSecretField = appProperties.get(Helpers.KEYSTORE_PASS_SECRET_FIELD_KEY).toString(); // region, etc.. builder.setProperty("config.providers.s3import.param.region", region); // properties builder.setProperty("ssl.truststore.location", "${s3import:" + region + ":" + truststoreS3Bucket + "/" + truststoreS3Path + "}"); builder.setProperty("ssl.keystore.type", "PKCS12"); builder.setProperty("ssl.keystore.location", "${s3import:" + region + ":" + keystoreS3Bucket + "/" + keystoreS3Path + "}"); builder.setProperty("ssl.keystore.password", "${secretsmanager:" + keystorePassSecret + ":" + keystorePassSecretField + "}"); builder.setProperty("ssl.key.password", "${secretsmanager:" + keystorePassSecret + ":" + keystorePassSecretField + "}"); ...
More details and a walkthrough can be found here
Legacy SourceFunction APIs
If you are using the legacy SourceFunction APIs, your application will use custom serialization and deserialization schemas that override the open
method to load the custom truststore.
This makes the truststore available to the application after the application restarts or replaces threads.
The custom truststore is retrieved and stored using the following code:
public static void initializeKafkaTruststore() { ClassLoader classLoader = Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader(); URL inputUrl = classLoader.getResource("kafka.client.truststore.jks"); File dest = new File("/tmp/kafka.client.truststore.jks"); try { FileUtils.copyURLToFile(inputUrl, dest); } catch (Exception ex) { throw new FlinkRuntimeException("Failed to initialize Kakfa truststore", ex); } }
Note
Apache Flink requires the truststore to be in JKS format
Note
To set up the required prerequisites for this exercise, first complete the Tutorial: Get started using the DataStream API in Managed Service for Apache Flink exercise.
The following tutorial demonstrates how to securely connect (encryption in transit) to a Kafka Cluster that uses server certificates issued by a custom, private or even self-hosted Certificate Authority (CA).
For connecting any Kafka Client securely over TLS to a Kafka Cluster, the Kafka Client (like the example Flink application) must trust the complete chain of trust presented by the Kafka Cluster's server certificates (from the Issuing CA up to the Root-Level CA). As an example for a custom truststore, we will use an Amazon MSK cluster with Mutual TLS (MTLS) Authentication enabled. This implies that the MSK cluster nodes use server certificates that are issued by an AWS Certificate Manager Private Certificate Authority (ACM Private CA) that is private to your account and Region and therefore not trusted by the default truststore of the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) executing the Flink application.
Note
-
A keystore is used to store private key and identity certificates an application should present to both server or client for verification.
-
A truststore is used to store certificates from Certified Authorities (CA) that verify the certificate presented by the server in an SSL connection.
You can also use the technique in this tutorial for interactions between a Managed Service for Apache Flink application and other Apache Kafka sources, such as:
A custom Apache Kafka cluster hosted in AWS (Amazon EC2
or Amazon EKS ) A Confluent Kafka
cluster hosted in AWS An on-premises Kafka cluster accessed through AWS Direct Connect
or VPN
This tutorial contains the following sections:
Create a VPC with an Amazon MSK cluster
To create a sample VPC and Amazon MSK cluster to access from a Managed Service for Apache Flink application, follow the Getting Started Using Amazon MSK tutorial.
When completing the tutorial, also do the following:
In Step 3: Create a Topic, repeat the
kafka-topics.sh --create
command to create a destination topic namedAWSKafkaTutorialTopicDestination
:bin/kafka-topics.sh --create --bootstrap-server
ZooKeeperConnectionString
--replication-factor 3 --partitions 1 --topic AWSKafkaTutorialTopicDestinationNote
If the
kafka-topics.sh
command returns aZooKeeperClientTimeoutException
, verify that the Kafka cluster's security group has an inbound rule to allow all traffic from the client instance's private IP address.Record the bootstrap server list for your cluster. You can get the list of bootstrap servers with the following command (replace
ClusterArn
with the ARN of your MSK cluster):aws kafka get-bootstrap-brokers --region us-west-2 --cluster-arn
ClusterArn
{... "BootstrapBrokerStringTls": "b-2.awskafkatutorialcluste.t79r6y.c4.kafka.us-west-2.amazonaws.com:9094,b-1.awskafkatutorialcluste.t79r6y.c4.kafka.us-west-2.amazonaws.com:9094,b-3.awskafkatutorialcluste.t79r6y.c4.kafka.us-west-2.amazonaws.com:9094" }When following the steps in this tutorial and the prerequisite tutorials, be sure to use your selected AWS Region in your code, commands, and console entries.
Create a custom truststore and apply it to your cluster
In this section, you create a custom certificate authority (CA), use it to generate a custom truststore, and apply it to your MSK cluster.
To create and apply your custom truststore, follow the Client Authentication tutorial in the Amazon Managed Streaming for Apache Kafka Developer Guide.
Create the application code
In this section, you download and compile the application JAR file.
The Java application code for this example is available from GitHub. To download the application code, do the following:
Install the Git client if you haven't already. For more information, see Installing Git
. Clone the remote repository with the following command:
git clone https://github.com/aws-samples/amazon-kinesis-data-analytics-examples.git
The application code is located in the
amazon-kinesis-data-analytics-java-examples/CustomKeystore
. You can examine the code to familiarize yourself with the structure of Managed Service for Apache Flink code.Use either the command line Maven tool or your preferred development environment to create the JAR file. To compile the JAR file using the command line Maven tool, enter the following:
mvn package -Dflink.version=1.15.3
If the build is successful, the following file is created:
target/flink-app-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar
Note
The provided source code relies on libraries from Java 11.
Upload the Apache Flink streaming Java code
In this section, you upload your application code to the Amazon S3 bucket that you created in the Tutorial: Get started using the DataStream API in Managed Service for Apache Flink tutorial.
Note
If you deleted the Amazon S3 bucket from the Getting Started tutorial, follow the Upload the application code JAR file step again.
-
In the Amazon S3 console, choose the ka-app-code-
<username>
bucket, and choose Upload. -
In the Select files step, choose Add files. Navigate to the
flink-app-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar
file that you created in the previous step. You don't need to change any of the settings for the object, so choose Upload.
Your application code is now stored in an Amazon S3 bucket where your application can access it.
Create the application
Open the Managed Service for Apache Flink console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/flink
-
On the Managed Service for Apache Flink dashboard, choose Create analytics application.
-
On the Managed Service for Apache Flink - Create application page, provide the application details as follows:

. -
For Runtime, choose Apache Flink version 1.15.2.
-
-
For Access permissions, choose Create / update IAM role
kinesis-analytics-MyApplication-us-west-2
. -
Choose Create application.
Note
When you create a Managed Service for Apache Flink using the console, you have the option of having an IAM role and policy created for your application. Your application uses this role and policy to access its dependent resources. These IAM resources are named using your application name and Region as follows:
-
Policy:
kinesis-analytics-service-
MyApplication
-us-west-2
-
Role:
kinesisanalytics-
MyApplication
-us-west-2
Configure the application
-
On the MyApplication page, choose Configure.
-
On the Configure application page, provide the Code location:
-
For Amazon S3 bucket, enter
ka-app-code-
.<username>
-
For Path to Amazon S3 object, enter
flink-app-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar
.
-
-
Under Access to application resources, for Access permissions, choose Create / update IAM role
kinesis-analytics-MyApplication-us-west-2
.Note
When you specify application resources using the console (such as logs or a VPC), the console modifies your application execution role to grant permission to access those resources.
-
Under Properties, choose Add Group. Enter the following properties:
Group ID Key Value KafkaSource
topic AWSKafkaTutorialTopic KafkaSource
bootstrap.servers The bootstrap server list you saved previously
KafkaSource
security.protocol SSL KafkaSource
ssl.truststore.location /usr/lib/jvm/java-11-amazon-corretto/lib/security/cacerts KafkaSource
ssl.truststore.password changeit Note
The ssl.truststore.password for the default certificate is "changeit"—you don't need to change this value if you're using the default certificate.
Choose Add Group again. Enter the following properties:
Group ID Key Value KafkaSink

ssl.truststore.location /usr/lib/jvm/java-11-amazon-corretto/lib/security/cacerts KafkaSink
ssl.truststore.password changeit KafkaSink
transaction.timeout.ms 1000 The application code reads the above application properties to configure the source and sink used to interact with your VPC and Amazon MSK cluster. For more information about using properties, see Use runtime properties.
-
Under Snapshots, choose Disable. This will make it easier to update the application without loading invalid application state data.
-
Under Monitoring, ensure that the Monitoring metrics level is set to Application.
-
For CloudWatch logging, choose the Enable check box.
-
In the Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) section, choose the VPC to associate with your application. Choose the subnets and security group associated with your VPC that you want the application to use to access VPC resources.
-
Choose Update.
Note
When you choose to enable CloudWatch logging, Managed Service for Apache Flink creates a log group and log stream for you. The names of these resources are as follows:
-
Log group:
/aws/kinesis-analytics/MyApplication
-
Log stream:
kinesis-analytics-log-stream
This log stream is used to monitor the application.
Run the application
The Flink job graph can be viewed by running the application, opening the Apache Flink dashboard, and choosing the desired Flink job.
Test the application
In this section, you write records to the source topic. The application reads records from the source topic and writes them to the destination topic. You verify that the application is working by writing records to the source topic and reading records from the destination topic.
To write and read records from the topics, follow the steps in Step 6: Produce and Consume Data in the Getting Started Using Amazon MSK tutorial.
To read from the destination topic, use the destination topic name instead of the source topic in your second connection to the cluster:
bin/kafka-console-consumer.sh --bootstrap-server
BootstrapBrokerString
--consumer.config client.properties --topic AWSKafkaTutorialTopicDestination --from-beginning
If no records appear in the destination topic, see the Cannot access resources in a VPC section in the Troubleshoot Managed Service for Apache Flink topic.
Python examples
The following examples demonstrate how to create applications using Python with the Apache Flink Table API.
Topics
Example: Creating a tumbling window in Python
Note
For current examples, see Examples for creating and working with Managed Service for Apache Flink applications.
In this exercise, you create a Python Managed Service for Apache Flink application that aggregates data using a tumbling window.
Note
To set up required prerequisites for this exercise, first complete the Tutorial: Get started using Python in Managed Service for Apache Flink exercise.
This topic contains the following sections:
Create dependent resources
Before you create a Managed Service for Apache Flink application for this exercise, you create the following dependent resources:
Two Kinesis data streams (
ExampleInputStream
andExampleOutputStream
)An Amazon S3 bucket to store the application's code (
ka-app-code-
)<username>
You can create the Kinesis streams and Amazon S3 bucket using the console. For instructions for creating these resources, see the following topics:
Creating and Updating Data Streams in the Amazon Kinesis Data Streams Developer Guide. Name your data streams
ExampleInputStream
andExampleOutputStream
.How Do I Create an S3 Bucket? in the Amazon Simple Storage Service User Guide. Give the Amazon S3 bucket a globally unique name by appending your login name, such as
ka-app-code-
.<username>
Write sample records to the input stream
In this section, you use a Python script to write sample records to the stream for the application to process.
Note
This section requires the AWS SDK for Python (Boto)
Note
The Python script in this section uses the AWS CLI. You must configure your AWS CLI to use your account credentials and default region. To configure your AWS CLI, enter the following:
aws configure
-
Create a file named
stock.py
with the following contents:import datetime import json import random import boto3 STREAM_NAME = "ExampleInputStream" def get_data(): return { 'event_time': datetime.datetime.now().isoformat(), 'ticker': random.choice(['AAPL', 'AMZN', 'MSFT', 'INTC', 'TBV']), 'price': round(random.random() * 100, 2)} def generate(stream_name, kinesis_client): while True: data = get_data() print(data) kinesis_client.put_record( StreamName=stream_name, Data=json.dumps(data), PartitionKey="partitionkey") if __name__ == '__main__': generate(STREAM_NAME, boto3.client('kinesis', region_name='us-west-2'))
-
Run the
stock.py
script:$ python stock.py

file. Note the following
about the application code:
The application uses a Kinesis table source to read from the source stream. The following snippet calls the
create_table
function to create the Kinesis table source:table_env.execute_sql( create_input_table(input_table_name, input_stream, input_region, stream_initpos) )
The
create_table
function uses a SQL command to create a table that is backed by the streaming source:def create_input_table(table_name, stream_name, region, stream_initpos): return """ CREATE TABLE {0} ( ticker VARCHAR(6), price DOUBLE, event_time TIMESTAMP(3), WATERMARK FOR event_time AS event_time - INTERVAL '5' SECOND ) PARTITIONED BY (ticker) WITH ( 'connector' = 'kinesis', 'stream' = '{1}', 'aws.region' = '{2}', 'scan.stream.initpos' = '{3}', 'format' = 'json', 'json.timestamp-format.standard' = 'ISO-8601' ) """.format(table_name, stream_name, region, stream_initpos)
The application uses the
Tumble
operator to aggregate records within a specified tumbling window, and return the aggregated records as a table object:tumbling_window_table = ( input_table.window( Tumble.over("10.seconds").on("event_time").alias("ten_second_window") ) .group_by("ticker, ten_second_window") .select("ticker, price.min as price, to_string(ten_second_window.end) as event_time")
The application uses the Kinesis Flink connector, from the
flink-sql-connector-kinesis-1.15.2.jar
.
Compress and upload the Apache Flink streaming Python code
In this section, you upload your application code to the Amazon S3 bucket you created in the Create dependent resources section.

Note
For current examples, see Examples for creating and working with Managed Service for Apache Flink applications.
Note
To set up required prerequisites for this exercise, first complete the Tutorial: Get started using Python in Managed Service for Apache Flink exercise.
This topic contains the following sections:
Create dependent resources
Before you create a Managed Service for Apache Flink application for this exercise, you create the following dependent resources:
Two Kinesis data streams (
ExampleInputStream
andExampleOutputStream
)An Amazon S3 bucket to store the application's code (
ka-app-code-
)<username>
You can create the Kinesis streams and Amazon S3 bucket using the console. For instructions for creating these resources, see the following topics:
Creating and Updating Data Streams in the Amazon Kinesis Data Streams Developer Guide. Name your data streams
ExampleInputStream
andExampleOutputStream
.How Do I Create an S3 Bucket? in the Amazon Simple Storage Service User Guide. Give the Amazon S3 bucket a globally unique name by appending your login name, such as
ka-app-code-
.<username>
Write sample records to the input stream
In this section, you use a Python script to write sample records to the stream for the application to process.
Note
This section requires the AWS SDK for Python (Boto)
Note
The Python script in this section uses the AWS CLI. You must configure your AWS CLI to use your account credentials and default region. To configure your AWS CLI, enter the following:
aws configure
-
Create a file named
stock.py
with the following contents:import datetime import json import random import boto3 STREAM_NAME = "ExampleInputStream" def get_data(): return { 'event_time': datetime.datetime.now().isoformat(), 'ticker': random.choice(['AAPL', 'AMZN', 'MSFT', 'INTC', 'TBV']), 'price': round(random.random() * 100, 2)} def generate(stream_name, kinesis_client): while True: data = get_data() print(data) kinesis_client.put_record( StreamName=stream_name, Data=json.dumps(data), PartitionKey="partitionkey") if __name__ == '__main__': generate(STREAM_NAME, boto3.client('kinesis', region_name='us-west-2'))
-
Run the
stock.py
script:$ python stock.py
Keep the script running while completing the rest of the tutorial.
Download and examine the application code
The Python application code for this example is available from GitHub. To download the application code, do the following:
Install the Git client if you haven't already. For more information, see Installing Git
. Clone the remote repository with the following command:
git clone https://github.com/aws-samples/>amazon-kinesis-data-analytics-java-examples
Navigate to the
amazon-kinesis-data-analytics-java-examples/python/SlidingWindow
directory.
The application code is located in the sliding-windows.py
file. Note the following
about the application code:
The application uses a Kinesis table source to read from the source stream. The following snippet calls the
create_input_table
function to create the Kinesis table source:table_env.execute_sql( create_input_table(input_table_name, input_stream, input_region, stream_initpos) )
The
create_input_table
function uses a SQL command to create a table that is backed by the streaming source:def create_input_table(table_name, stream_name, region, stream_initpos): return """ CREATE TABLE {0} ( ticker VARCHAR(6), price DOUBLE, event_time TIMESTAMP(3), WATERMARK FOR event_time AS event_time - INTERVAL '5' SECOND ) PARTITIONED BY (ticker) WITH ( 'connector' = 'kinesis', 'stream' = '{1}', 'aws.region' = '{2}', 'scan.stream.initpos' = '{3}', 'format' = 'json', 'json.timestamp-format.standard' = 'ISO-8601' ) """.format(table_name, stream_name, region, stream_initpos) }
The application uses the
Slide
operator to aggregate records within a specified sliding window, and return the aggregated records as a table object:sliding_window_table = ( input_table .window( Slide.over("10.seconds") .every("5.seconds") .on("event_time") .alias("ten_second_window") ) .group_by("ticker, ten_second_window") .select("ticker, price.min as price, to_string(ten_second_window.end) as event_time") )
The application uses the Kinesis Flink connector, from the flink-sql-connector-kinesis-1.15.2.jar
file.
Compress and upload the Apache Flink streaming Python code
In this section, you upload your application code to the Amazon S3 bucket you created in the Create dependent resources section.
This section describes how to package your Python application.

Example: Send streaming data to Amazon S3 in Python
Note
For current examples, see Examples for creating and working with Managed Service for Apache Flink applications.
In this exercise, you create a Python Managed Service for Apache Flink application that streams data to an Amazon Simple Storage Service sink.
Note
To set up required prerequisites for this exercise, first complete the Tutorial: Get started using Python in Managed Service for Apache Flink exercise.
This topic contains the following sections:
Create dependent resources
Before you create a Managed Service for Apache Flink application for this exercise, you create the following dependent resources:
A Kinesis data stream (
ExampleInputStream
)An Amazon S3 bucket to store the application's code and output (
ka-app-code-
)<username>
Note
Managed Service for Apache Flink cannot write data to Amazon S3 with server-side encryption enabled on Managed Service for Apache Flink.
You can create the Kinesis stream and Amazon S3 bucket using the console. For instructions for creating these resources, see the following topics:
Creating and Updating Data Streams in the Amazon Kinesis Data Streams Developer Guide. Name your data stream
ExampleInputStream
.How Do I Create an S3 Bucket? in the Amazon Simple Storage Service User Guide. Give the Amazon S3 bucket a globally unique name by appending your login name, such as
ka-app-code-
.<username>
Write sample records to the input stream
In this section, you use a Python script to write sample records to the stream for the application to process.
Note
This section requires the AWS SDK for Python (Boto)
Note
The Python script in this section uses the AWS CLI. You must configure your AWS CLI to use your account credentials and default region. To configure your AWS CLI, enter the following:
aws configure
-
Create a file named
stock.py
with the following contents:import datetime import json import random import boto3 STREAM_NAME = "ExampleInputStream" def get_data(): return { 'event_time': datetime.datetime.now().isoformat(), 'ticker': random.choice(['AAPL', 'AMZN', 'MSFT', 'INTC', 'TBV']), 'price': round(random.random() * 100, 2)} def generate(stream_name, kinesis_client): while True: data = get_data() print(data) kinesis_client.put_record( StreamName=stream_name, Data=json.dumps(data), PartitionKey="partitionkey") if __name__ == '__main__': generate(STREAM_NAME, boto3.client('kinesis', region_name='us-west-2'))
-
Run the
stock.py
script:$ python stock.py
Keep the script running while completing the rest of the tutorial.
Download and examine the application code
The Python application code for this example is available from GitHub. To download the application code, do the following:
Install the Git client if you haven't already. For more information, see Installing Git

git clone https://github.com/aws-samples/amazon-kinesis-data-analytics-examples.git
Navigate to the
amazon-kinesis-data-analytics-java-examples/python/S3Sink
directory.
The application code is located in the streaming-file-sink.py
file. Note the following about the application code:
The application uses a Kinesis table source to read from the source stream. The following snippet calls the
create_source_table
function to create the Kinesis table source:table_env.execute_sql( create_source_table(input_table_name, input_stream, input_region, stream_initpos) )
The
create_source_table
function uses a SQL command to create a table that is backed by the streaming sourceimport datetime import json import random import boto3 STREAM_NAME = "ExampleInputStream" def get_data(): return { 'event_time': datetime.datetime.now().isoformat(), 'ticker': random.choice(['AAPL', 'AMZN', 'MSFT', 'INTC', 'TBV']), 'price': round(random.random() * 100, 2)} def generate(stream_name, kinesis_client): while True: data = get_data() print(data) kinesis_client.put_record( StreamName=stream_name, Data=json.dumps(data), PartitionKey="partitionkey") if __name__ == '__main__': generate(STREAM_NAME, boto3.client('kinesis', region_name='us-west-2'))
The application uses the
filesystem
connector to send records to an Amazon S3 bucket:def create_sink_table(table_name, bucket_name): return """ CREATE TABLE {0} ( ticker VARCHAR(6), price DOUBLE, event_time VARCHAR(64) ) PARTITIONED BY (ticker) WITH ( 'connector'='filesystem', 'path'='s3a://{1}/', 'format'='json', 'sink.partition-commit.policy.kind'='success-file', 'sink.partition-commit.delay' = '1 min' ) """.format(table_name, bucket_name)
The application uses the Kinesis Flink connector, from the flink-sql-connector-kinesis-1.15.2.jar
file.

Scala examples
The following examples demonstrate how to create applications using Scala with Apache Flink.
Topics
Example: Creating a tumbling window in Scala
Note
For current examples, see Examples for creating and working with Managed Service for Apache Flink applications.
Note
Starting from version 1.15 Flink is Scala free. Applications can now use the Java API from any Scala version. Flink still uses Scala in a few key components internally but doesn't expose Scala into the user code classloader. Because of that, users need to add Scala dependencies into their jar-archives.
For more information about Scala changes in Flink 1.15, see
Scala Free in One Fifteen
In this exercise, you will create a simple streaming application which uses Scala 3.2.0 and Flink's Java DataStream API. The application reads data from Kinesis stream, aggregates it using sliding windows and writes results to output Kinesis stream.
Note
To set up required prerequisites for this exercise, first complete the Getting Started (Scala) exercise.
This topic contains the following sections:
Download and examine the application code
The Python application code for this example is available from GitHub. To download the application code, do the following:
Install the Git client if you haven't already. For more information, see Installing Git
. Clone the remote repository with the following command:
git clone https://github.com/aws-samples/amazon-kinesis-data-analytics-examples.git
Navigate to the
amazon-kinesis-data-analytics-java-examples/scala/TumblingWindow
directory.
Note the following about the application code:
A
build.sbt
file contains information about the application's configuration and dependencies, including the Managed Service for Apache Flink libraries.The
BasicStreamingJob.scala
file contains the main method that defines the application's functionality.The application uses a Kinesis source to read from the source stream. The following snippet creates the Kinesis source:
private def createSource: FlinkKinesisConsumer[String] = { val applicationProperties = KinesisAnalyticsRuntime.getApplicationProperties val inputProperties = applicationProperties.get("ConsumerConfigProperties") new FlinkKinesisConsumer[String](inputProperties.getProperty(streamNameKey, defaultInputStreamName), new SimpleStringSchema, inputProperties) }
The application also uses a Kinesis sink to write into the result stream. The following snippet creates the Kinesis sink:
private def createSink: KinesisStreamsSink[String] = { val applicationProperties = KinesisAnalyticsRuntime.getApplicationProperties val outputProperties = applicationProperties.get("ProducerConfigProperties") KinesisStreamsSink.builder[String] .setKinesisClientProperties(outputProperties) .setSerializationSchema(new SimpleStringSchema) .setStreamName(outputProperties.getProperty(streamNameKey, defaultOutputStreamName)) .setPartitionKeyGenerator((element: String) => String.valueOf(element.hashCode)) .build }
The application uses the window operator to find the count of values for each stock symbol over a 5-seconds tumbling window. The following code creates the operator and sends the aggregated data to a new Kinesis Data Streams sink:
environment.addSource(createSource) .map { value => val jsonNode = jsonParser.readValue(value, classOf[JsonNode]) new Tuple2[String, Int](jsonNode.get("ticker").toString, 1) } .returns(Types.TUPLE(Types.STRING, Types.INT)) .keyBy(v => v.f0) // Logically partition the stream for each ticker .window(TumblingProcessingTimeWindows.of(Time.seconds(10))) .sum(1) // Sum the number of tickers per partition .map { value => value.f0 + "," + value.f1.toString + "\n" } .sinkTo(createSink)
The application creates source and sink connectors to access external resources using a StreamExecutionEnvironment object.
The application creates source and sink connectors using dynamic application properties. Runtime application's properties are read to configure the connectors. For more information about runtime properties, see Runtime Properties.
Compile and upload the application code
In this section, you compile and upload your application code to an Amazon S3 bucket.
Compile the Application Code
Use the SBT
To use your application code, you compile and package it into a JAR file. You can compile and package your code with SBT:
sbt assembly
-
If the application compiles successfully, the following file is created:
target/scala-3.2.0/tumbling-window-scala-1.0.jar
Upload the Apache Flink Streaming Scala Code
In this section, you create an Amazon S3 bucket and upload your application code.
Open the Amazon S3 console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/s3/

:stream/ExampleOutputStream" } ] }
Run the application
The Flink job graph can be viewed by running the application, opening the Apache Flink dashboard, and choosing the desired Flink job.
Stop the application
To stop the application, on the MyApplication page, choose Stop. Confirm the action.
Create and run the application (CLI)
In this section, you use the AWS Command Line Interface to create and run the Managed Service for Apache Flink application. Use the kinesisanalyticsv2 AWS CLI command to create and interact with Managed Service for Apache Flink applications.
Create a permissions policy
Note
You must create a permissions policy and role for your application. If you do not create these IAM resources, your application cannot access its data and log streams.
First, you create a permissions policy with two statements: one that grants permissions for the read action on the source stream, and another that grants permissions for write actions on the sink stream. You then attach the policy to an IAM role (which you create in the next section). Thus, when Managed Service for Apache Flink assumes the role, the service has the necessary permissions to read from the source stream and write to the sink stream.
Use the following code to create the AKReadSourceStreamWriteSinkStream
permissions policy. Replace username
with the user name that you used to create the Amazon S3 bucket to store the application code. Replace the account ID in the Amazon Resource Names (ARNs)
(012345678901)
with your account ID. The MF-stream-rw-role
service execution role should be tailored to the customer-specfic role.
{ "ApplicationName": "tumbling_window", "ApplicationDescription": "Scala tumbling window application", "RuntimeEnvironment": "FLINK-1_15", "ServiceExecutionRole": "arn:aws:iam::012345678901:role/
MF-stream-rw-role
", "ApplicationConfiguration": { "ApplicationCodeConfiguration": { "CodeContent": { "S3ContentLocation": { "BucketARN": "arn:aws:s3:::ka-app-code-username
", "FileKey": "tumbling-window-scala-1.0.jar" } }, "CodeContentType": "ZIPFILE" }, "EnvironmentProperties": { "PropertyGroups": [ { "PropertyGroupId": "ConsumerConfigProperties", "PropertyMap" : { "aws.region" : "us-west-2", "stream.name" : "ExampleInputStream", "flink.stream.initpos" : "LATEST" } }, { "PropertyGroupId": "ProducerConfigProperties", "PropertyMap" : { "aws.region" : "us-west-2", "stream.name" : "ExampleOutputStream" } } ] } }, "CloudWatchLoggingOptions": [ { "LogStreamARN": "arn:aws:logs:us-west-2:012345678901
:log-group:MyApplication:log-stream:kinesis-analytics-log-stream" } ] }
For step-by-step instructions to create a permissions policy, see Tutorial: Create and Attach Your First Customer Managed Policy in the IAM User Guide.
Create an IAM role
In this section, you create an IAM role that the Managed Service for Apache Flink application can assume to read a source stream and write to the sink stream.
Managed Service for Apache Flink cannot access your stream without permissions. You grant these permissions via an IAM role. Each IAM role has two policies attached. The trust policy grants Managed Service for Apache Flink permission to assume the role, and the permissions policy determines what Managed Service for Apache Flink can do after assuming the role.
You attach the permissions policy that you created in the preceding section to this role.
To create an IAM role
Open the IAM console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/iam/
. In the navigation pane, choose Roles and then Create Role.
Under Select type of trusted identity, choose AWS Service
Under Choose the service that will use this role, choose Kinesis.
Under Select your use case, choose Managed Service for Apache Flink.
Choose Next: Permissions.
On the Attach permissions policies page, choose Next: Review. You attach permissions policies after you create the role.
On the Create role page, enter
MF-stream-rw-role
for the Role name. Choose Create role.Now you have created a new IAM role called
MF-stream-rw-role
. Next, you update the trust and permissions policies for the roleAttach the permissions policy to the role.
Note
For this exercise, Managed Service for Apache Flink assumes this role for both reading data from a Kinesis data stream (source) and writing output to another Kinesis data stream. So you attach the policy that you created in the previous step, Create a Permissions Policy.
On the Summary page, choose the Permissions tab.
Choose Attach Policies.
In the search box, enter
AKReadSourceStreamWriteSinkStream
(the policy that you created in the previous section).Choose the
AKReadSourceStreamWriteSinkStream
policy, and choose Attach policy.
You now have created the service execution role that your application uses to access resources. Make a note of the ARN of the new role.
For step-by-step instructions for creating a role, see Creating an IAM Role (Console) in the IAM User Guide.
Create the application
Save the following JSON code to a file named create_request.json
. Replace the sample role ARN with the ARN for the role that you created previously. Replace the bucket ARN suffix (username) with the suffix that you chose in the previous section. Replace the sample account ID (012345678901)
in the service execution role with your account ID. The ServiceExecutionRole
should include the IAM user role you created in the previous section.
"ApplicationName": "tumbling_window", "ApplicationDescription": "Scala getting started application", "RuntimeEnvironment": "FLINK-1_15", "ServiceExecutionRole": "arn:aws:iam::012345678901:role/MF-stream-rw-role", "ApplicationConfiguration": { "ApplicationCodeConfiguration": { "CodeContent": { "S3ContentLocation": { "BucketARN": "arn:aws:s3:::ka-app-code-

action with the preceding request to stop the application:aws kinesisanalyticsv2 stop-application --cli-input-json file://stop_request.json
The application is now stopped.
Add a CloudWatch logging option
You can use the AWS CLI to add an Amazon CloudWatch log stream to your application. For information about using CloudWatch Logs with your application, see Setting Up Application Logging.
Update environment properties
In this section, you use the UpdateApplication action to change the environment properties for the application without recompiling the application code. In this example, you change the Region of the source and destination streams.
To update environment properties for the application
Save the following JSON code to a file named
update_properties_request.json
.{"ApplicationName": "tumbling_window", "CurrentApplicationVersionId": 1, "ApplicationConfigurationUpdate": { "EnvironmentPropertyUpdates": { "PropertyGroups": [ { "PropertyGroupId": "ConsumerConfigProperties", "PropertyMap" : { "aws.region" : "us-west-2", "stream.name" : "ExampleInputStream", "flink.stream.initpos" : "LATEST" } }, { "PropertyGroupId": "ProducerConfigProperties", "PropertyMap" : { "aws.region" : "us-west-2", "stream.name" : "ExampleOutputStream" } } ] } } }
Execute the
UpdateApplication
action with the preceding request to update environment properties:aws kinesisanalyticsv2 update-application --cli-input-json file://update_properties_request.json
Update the application code
When you need to update your application code with a new version of your code package, you use the UpdateApplication CLI action.
Note
To load a new version of the application code with the same file name, you must specify the new object version. For more information about using Amazon S3 object versions, see Enabling or Disabling Versioning.
To use the AWS CLI, delete your previous code package from your Amazon S3 bucket, upload the new version, and call UpdateApplication
, specifying the same Amazon S3 bucket and object name,
and the new object version. The application will restart with the new code package.
The following sample request for the UpdateApplication
action reloads the application code and restarts the application.
Update the CurrentApplicationVersionId
to the current application version. You can check the current application version using the
ListApplications
or DescribeApplication
actions. Update the bucket name suffix (<username>) with the suffix

Example: Creating a sliding window in Scala
Note
For current examples, see Examples for creating and working with Managed Service for Apache Flink applications.
Note
Starting from version 1.15 Flink is Scala free. Applications can now use the Java API from any Scala version. Flink still uses Scala in a few key components internally but doesn't expose Scala into the user code classloader. Because of that, users need to add Scala dependencies into their jar-archives.
For more information about Scala changes in Flink 1.15, see
Scala Free in One Fifteen
In this exercise, you will create a simple streaming application which uses Scala 3.2.0 and Flink's Java DataStream API. The application reads data from Kinesis stream, aggregates it using sliding windows and writes results to output Kinesis stream.
Note
To set up required prerequisites for this exercise, first complete the Getting Started (Scala) exercise.

directory.
Note the following about the application code:
A

file contains the main method that defines the application's functionality.The application uses a Kinesis source to read from the source stream. The following snippet creates the Kinesis source:
private def createSource: FlinkKinesisConsumer[String] = { val applicationProperties = KinesisAnalyticsRuntime.getApplicationProperties val inputProperties = applicationProperties.get("ConsumerConfigProperties") new FlinkKinesisConsumer[String](inputProperties.getProperty(streamNameKey, defaultInputStreamName), new SimpleStringSchema, inputProperties) }
The application also uses a Kinesis sink to write into the result stream. The following snippet creates the Kinesis sink:
private def createSink: KinesisStreamsSink[String] = { val applicationProperties = KinesisAnalyticsRuntime.getApplicationProperties val outputProperties = applicationProperties.get("ProducerConfigProperties") KinesisStreamsSink.builder[String] .setKinesisClientProperties(outputProperties) .setSerializationSchema(new SimpleStringSchema) .setStreamName(outputProperties.getProperty(streamNameKey, defaultOutputStreamName)) .setPartitionKeyGenerator((element: String) => String.valueOf(element.hashCode)) .build }
The application uses the window operator to find the count of values for each stock symbol over a 10-seconds window that slides by 5 seconds. The following code creates the operator and sends the aggregated data to a new Kinesis Data Streams sink:
environment.addSource(createSource) .map { value => val jsonNode = jsonParser.readValue(value, classOf[JsonNode]) new Tuple2[String, Double](jsonNode.get("ticker").toString, jsonNode.get("price").asDouble) } .returns(Types.TUPLE(Types.STRING, Types.DOUBLE)) .keyBy(v => v.f0) // Logically partition the stream for each word .window(SlidingProcessingTimeWindows.of(Time.seconds(10), Time.seconds(5))) .min(1) // Calculate minimum price per ticker over the window .map { value => value.f0 + String.format(",%.2f", value.f1) + "\n" } .sinkTo(createSink)
The application creates source and sink connectors to access external resources using a StreamExecutionEnvironment object.
The application creates source and sink connectors using dynamic application properties. Runtime application's properties are read to configure the connectors. For more information about runtime properties, see Runtime Properties.

Run the application
The Flink job graph can be viewed by running the application, opening the Apache Flink dashboard, and choosing the desired Flink job.
Stop the application
To stop the application, on the MyApplication page, choose Stop. Confirm the action.
Create and run the application (CLI)
In this section, you use the AWS Command Line Interface to create and run the Managed Service for Apache Flink application. Use the kinesisanalyticsv2 AWS CLI command to create and interact with Managed Service for Apache Flink applications.
Create a permissions policy
Note
You must create a permissions policy and role for your application. If you do not create these IAM resources, your application cannot access its data and log streams.
First, you create a permissions policy with two statements: one that grants permissions for the read action on the source stream, and another that grants permissions for write actions on the sink stream. You then attach the policy to an IAM role (which you create in the next section). Thus, when Managed Service for Apache Flink assumes the role, the service has the necessary permissions to read from the source stream and write to the sink stream.
Use the following code to create the AKReadSourceStreamWriteSinkStream
permissions policy. Replace username
with the user name that you used to create the Amazon S3 bucket to store the application code. Replace the account ID in the Amazon Resource Names (ARNs)
(012345678901)
with your account ID.
{ "ApplicationName": "sliding_window", "ApplicationDescription": "Scala sliding window application", "RuntimeEnvironment": "FLINK-1_15", "ServiceExecutionRole": "arn:aws:iam::012345678901:role/MF-stream-rw-role", "ApplicationConfiguration": { "ApplicationCodeConfiguration": { "CodeContent": { "S3ContentLocation": { "BucketARN": "arn:aws:s3:::ka-app-code-
username
", "FileKey": "sliding-window-scala-1.0.jar" } }, "CodeContentType": "ZIPFILE" }, "EnvironmentProperties": { "PropertyGroups": [ { "PropertyGroupId": "ConsumerConfigProperties", "PropertyMap" : { "aws.region" : "us-west-2", "stream.name" : "ExampleInputStream", "flink.stream.initpos" : "LATEST" } }, { "PropertyGroupId": "ProducerConfigProperties", "PropertyMap" : { "aws.region" : "us-west-2", "stream.name" : "ExampleOutputStream" } } ] } }, "CloudWatchLoggingOptions": [ { "LogStreamARN": "arn:aws:logs:us-west-2:012345678901
:log-group:MyApplication:log-stream:kinesis-analytics-log-stream" } ] }
For step-by-step instructions to create a permissions policy, see Tutorial: Create and Attach Your First Customer Managed Policy in the IAM User Guide.
Create an IAM role
In this section, you create an IAM role that the Managed Service for Apache Flink application can assume to read a source stream and write to the sink stream.
Managed Service for Apache Flink cannot access your stream without permissions. You grant these permissions via an IAM role. Each IAM role has two policies attached. The trust policy grants Managed Service for Apache Flink permission to assume the role, and the permissions policy determines what Managed Service for Apache Flink can do after assuming the role.
You attach the permissions policy that you created in the preceding section to this role.
To create an IAM role
Open the IAM console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/iam/
. In the navigation pane, choose Roles and then Create Role.
Under Select type of trusted identity, choose AWS Service
Under Choose the service that will use this role, choose Kinesis.
Under Select your use case, choose Managed Service for Apache Flink.
Choose Next: Permissions.
On the Attach permissions policies page, choose Next: Review. You attach permissions policies after you create the role.
On the Create role page, enter
MF-stream-rw-role
for the Role name. Choose Create role.Now you have created a new IAM role called
MF-stream-rw-role
. Next, you update the trust and permissions policies for the roleAttach the permissions policy to the role.
Note
For this exercise, Managed Service for Apache Flink assumes this role for both reading data from a Kinesis data stream (source) and writing output to another Kinesis data stream. So you attach the policy that you created in the previous step, Create a Permissions Policy.
On the Summary page, choose the Permissions tab.
Choose Attach Policies.
In the search box, enter
AKReadSourceStreamWriteSinkStream
(the policy that you created in the previous section).Choose the
AKReadSourceStreamWriteSinkStream
policy, and choose Attach policy.
You now have created the service execution role that your application uses to access resources. Make a note of the ARN of the new role.
For step-by-step instructions for creating a role, see Creating an IAM Role (Console) in the IAM User Guide.
Create the application
Save the following JSON code to a file named create_request.json
. Replace the sample role ARN with the ARN for the role that you created previously. Replace the bucket ARN suffix (username) with the suffix that you chose in the previous section. Replace the sample account ID (012345678901)
in the service execution role with your account ID.
{ "ApplicationName": "sliding_window", "ApplicationDescription": "Scala sliding_window application", "RuntimeEnvironment": "FLINK-1_15", "ServiceExecutionRole": "arn:aws:iam::012345678901:role/MF-stream-rw-role", "ApplicationConfiguration": { "ApplicationCodeConfiguration": { "CodeContent": { "S3ContentLocation": { "BucketARN": "arn:aws:s3:::ka-app-code-

", "FileKey": "sliding-window-scala-1.0.jar" } }, "CodeContentType": "ZIPFILE" }, "EnvironmentProperties": { "PropertyGroups": [ { "PropertyGroupId": "ConsumerConfigProperties", "PropertyMap" : { "aws.region" : "us-west-2", "stream.name" : "ExampleInputStream", "flink.stream.initpos" : "LATEST" } }, { "PropertyGroupId": "ProducerConfigProperties", "PropertyMap" : { "aws.region" : "us-west-2", "stream.name" : "ExampleOutputStream" } } ] } }, "CloudWatchLoggingOptions": [ { "LogStreamARN": "arn:aws:logs:us-west-2:012345678901
:log-group:MyApplication:log-stream:kinesis-analytics-log-stream" } ] }
Execute the CreateApplication with the following request to create the application:
aws kinesisanalyticsv2 create-application --cli-input-json file://create_request.json
The application is now created. You start the application in the next step.
Start the application
In this section, you use the StartApplication action to start the application.
To start the application
Save the following JSON code to a file named
start_request.json
.{ "ApplicationName": "sliding_window", "RunConfiguration": { "ApplicationRestoreConfiguration": { "ApplicationRestoreType": "RESTORE_FROM_LATEST_SNAPSHOT" } } }
Execute the
StartApplication
action with the preceding request to start the application:aws kinesisanalyticsv2 start-application --cli-input-json file://start_request.json
The application is now running. You can check the Managed Service for Apache Flink metrics on the Amazon CloudWatch console to verify that the application is working.
Stop the application
In this section, you use the StopApplication action to stop the application.
To stop the application
Save the following JSON code to a file named
stop_request.json
.{ "ApplicationName": "sliding_window" }
Execute the
StopApplication
action with the preceding request to stop the application:aws kinesisanalyticsv2 stop-application --cli-input-json file://stop_request.json
The application is now stopped.
Add a CloudWatch logging option
You can use the AWS CLI to add an Amazon CloudWatch log stream to your application. For information about using CloudWatch Logs with your application, see Setting Up Application Logging.
Update environment properties
In this section, you use the UpdateApplication action to change the environment properties for the application without recompiling the application code. In this example, you change the Region of the source and destination streams.
To update environment properties for the application
Save the following JSON code to a file named
update_properties_request.json
.{"ApplicationName": "sliding_window", "CurrentApplicationVersionId": 1, "ApplicationConfigurationUpdate": { "EnvironmentPropertyUpdates": { "PropertyGroups": [ { "PropertyGroupId": "ConsumerConfigProperties", "PropertyMap" : { "aws.region" : "us-west-2", "stream.name" : "ExampleInputStream", "flink.stream.initpos" : "LATEST" } }, { "PropertyGroupId": "ProducerConfigProperties", "PropertyMap" : { "aws.region" : "us-west-2", "stream.name" : "ExampleOutputStream" } } ] } } }
Execute the
UpdateApplication
action with the preceding request to update environment properties:aws kinesisanalyticsv2 update-application --cli-input-json file://update_properties_request.json
Update the application code
When you need to update your application code with a new version of your code package, you use the UpdateApplication CLI action.
Note
To load a new version of the application code with the same file name, you must specify the new object version. For more information about using Amazon S3 object versions, see Enabling or Disabling Versioning.
To use the AWS CLI, delete your previous code package from your Amazon S3 bucket, upload the new version, and call UpdateApplication
, specifying the same Amazon S3 bucket and object name,
and the new object version. The application will restart with the new code package.
The following sample request for the UpdateApplication
action reloads the application code and restarts the application.
Update the CurrentApplicationVersionId
to the current application version. You can check the current application version using the
ListApplications
or DescribeApplication
actions. Update the bucket name suffix (<username>) with the suffix
that you chose in the Create dependent resources section.

Example: Send streaming data to Amazon S3 in Scala
Note
For current examples, see Examples for creating and working with Managed Service for Apache Flink applications.
Note
Starting from version 1.15 Flink is Scala free. Applications can now use the Java API from any Scala version. Flink still uses Scala in a few key components internally but doesn't expose Scala into the user code classloader. Because of that, users need to add Scala dependencies into their jar-archives.
For more information about Scala changes in Flink 1.15, see
Scala Free in One Fifteen
In this exercise, you will create a simple streaming application which uses Scala 3.2.0 and Flink's Java DataStream API. The application reads data from Kinesis stream, aggregates it using sliding windows and writes results to S3.
Note
To set up required prerequisites for this exercise, first complete the Getting Started (Scala) exercise.
You only need to create an additional folder data/
in the Amazon S3 bucket ka-app-code-<username>.
This topic contains the following sections:
Download and examine the application code
The Python application code for this example is available from GitHub. To download the application code, do the following:
Install the Git client if you haven't already. For more information, see Installing Git
. Clone the remote repository with the following command:
git clone https://github.com/aws-samples/amazon-kinesis-data-analytics-examples.git
Navigate to the
amazon-kinesis-data-analytics-java-examples/scala/S3Sink
directory.
Note the following about the application code:
A
build.sbt
file contains information about the application's configuration and dependencies, including the Managed Service for Apache Flink libraries.The
BasicStreamingJob.scala
file contains the main method that defines the application's functionality.The application uses a Kinesis source to read from the source stream. The following snippet creates the Kinesis source:
private def createSource: FlinkKinesisConsumer[String] = { val applicationProperties = KinesisAnalyticsRuntime.getApplicationProperties val inputProperties = applicationProperties.get("ConsumerConfigProperties") new FlinkKinesisConsumer[String](inputProperties.getProperty(streamNameKey, defaultInputStreamName), new SimpleStringSchema, inputProperties) }
The application also uses a StreamingFileSink to write to an Amazon S3 bucket:`
def createSink: StreamingFileSink[String] = { val applicationProperties = KinesisAnalyticsRuntime.getApplicationProperties val s3SinkPath = applicationProperties.get("ProducerConfigProperties").getProperty("s3.sink.path") StreamingFileSink .forRowFormat(new Path(s3SinkPath), new SimpleStringEncoder[String]("UTF-8")) .build() }
The application creates source and sink connectors to access external resources using a StreamExecutionEnvironment object.
The application creates source and sink connectors using dynamic application properties. Runtime application's properties are read to configure the connectors. For more information about runtime properties, see Runtime Properties.
Compile and upload the application code
In this section, you compile and upload your application code to an Amazon S3 bucket.

Choose Next: Permissions.
On the Attach permissions policies page, choose Next: Review. You attach permissions policies after you create the role.
On the Create role page, enter
MF-stream-rw-role
for the Role name. Choose Create role.Now you have created a new IAM role called
MF-stream-rw-role
. Next, you update the trust and permissions policies for the roleAttach the permissions policy to the role.
Note
For this exercise, Managed Service for Apache Flink assumes this role for both reading data from a Kinesis data stream (source) and writing output to another Kinesis data stream. So you attach the policy that you created in the previous step, Create a Permissions Policy.
On the Summary page, choose the Permissions tab.
Choose Attach Policies.
In the search box, enter
AKReadSourceStreamWriteSinkStream
(the policy that you created in the previous section).Choose the
AKReadSourceStreamWriteSinkStream
policy, and choose Attach policy.
You now have created the service execution role that your application uses to access resources. Make a note of the ARN of the new role.
For step-by-step instructions for creating a role, see Creating an IAM Role (Console) in the IAM User Guide.
Create the application
Save the following JSON code to a file named create_request.json
. Replace the sample role ARN with the ARN for the role that you created previously. Replace the bucket ARN suffix (username) with the suffix that you chose in the previous section. Replace the sample account ID (012345678901)
in the service execution role with your account ID.
{ "ApplicationName": "s3_sink", "ApplicationDescription": "Scala tumbling window application", "RuntimeEnvironment": "FLINK-1_15", "ServiceExecutionRole": "arn:aws:iam::012345678901:role/MF-stream-rw-role", "ApplicationConfiguration": { "ApplicationCodeConfiguration": { "CodeContent": { "S3ContentLocation": { "BucketARN": "arn:aws:s3:::ka-app-code-
username
", "FileKey": "s3-sink-scala-1.0.jar" } }, "CodeContentType": "ZIPFILE" }, "EnvironmentProperties": { "PropertyGroups": [ { "PropertyGroupId": "ConsumerConfigProperties", "PropertyMap" : { "aws.region" : "us-west-2", "stream.name" : "ExampleInputStream", "flink.stream.initpos" : "LATEST" } }, { "PropertyGroupId": "ProducerConfigProperties", "PropertyMap" : { "s3.sink.path" : "s3a://ka-app-code-<username>/data" } } ] } }, "CloudWatchLoggingOptions": [ { "LogStreamARN": "arn:aws:logs:us-west-2:012345678901
:log-group:MyApplication:log-stream:kinesis-analytics-log-stream" } ] }
Execute the CreateApplication with the following request to create the application:
aws kinesisanalyticsv2 create-application --cli-input-json file://create_request.json
The application is now created. You start the application in the next step.
Start the application
In this section, you use the StartApplication action to start the application.
To start the application
Save the following JSON code to a file named
start_request.json
.{{ "ApplicationName": "s3_sink", "RunConfiguration": { "ApplicationRestoreConfiguration": { "ApplicationRestoreType": "RESTORE_FROM_LATEST_SNAPSHOT" } } }
Execute the
StartApplication
action with the preceding request to start the application:aws kinesisanalyticsv2 start-application --cli-input-json file://start_request.json
The application is now running. You can check the Managed Service for Apache Flink metrics on the Amazon CloudWatch console to verify that the application is working.
Stop the application
In this section, you use the StopApplication action to stop the application.
To stop the application
Save the following JSON code to a file named
stop_request.json
.{ "ApplicationName": "s3_sink" }
Execute the
StopApplication
action with the preceding request to stop the application:aws kinesisanalyticsv2 stop-application --cli-input-json file://stop_request.json
The application is now stopped.
Add a CloudWatch logging option
You can use the AWS CLI to add an Amazon CloudWatch log stream to your application. For information about using CloudWatch Logs with your application, see Setting Up Application Logging.
Update environment properties
In this section, you use the UpdateApplication action to change the environment properties for the application without recompiling the application code. In this example, you change the Region of the source and destination streams.
To update environment properties for the application
Save the following JSON code to a file named
update_properties_request.json
.{"ApplicationName": "s3_sink", "CurrentApplicationVersionId": 1, "ApplicationConfigurationUpdate": { "EnvironmentPropertyUpdates": { "PropertyGroups": [ { "PropertyGroupId": "ConsumerConfigProperties", "PropertyMap" : { "aws.region" : "us-west-2", "stream.name" : "ExampleInputStream", "flink.stream.initpos" : "LATEST" } }, { "PropertyGroupId": "ProducerConfigProperties", "PropertyMap" : { "s3.sink.path" : "s3a://ka-app-code-<username>/data" } } ] } } }
Execute the
UpdateApplication
action with the preceding request to update environment properties:aws kinesisanalyticsv2 update-application --cli-input-json file://update_properties_request.json
Update the application code
When you need to update your application code with a new version of your code package, you use the UpdateApplication CLI action.
Note
To load a new version of the application code with the same file name, you must specify the new object version. For more information about using Amazon S3 object versions, see Enabling or Disabling Versioning.
To use the AWS CLI, delete your previous code package from your Amazon S3 bucket, upload the new version, and call UpdateApplication
, specifying the same Amazon S3 bucket and object name,
and the new object version. The application will restart with the new code package.
The following sample request for the UpdateApplication
action reloads the application code and restarts the application.
Update the CurrentApplicationVersionId
to the current application version. You can check the current application version using the
ListApplications
or DescribeApplication
actions. Update the bucket name suffix (<username>) with the suffix
that you chose in the Create dependent resources section.
{ "ApplicationName": "s3_sink", "CurrentApplicationVersionId": 1, "ApplicationConfigurationUpdate": { "ApplicationCodeConfigurationUpdate": { "CodeContentUpdate": { "S3ContentLocationUpdate": { "BucketARNUpdate": "arn:aws:s3:::ka-app-code-
username
", "FileKeyUpdate": "s3-sink-scala-1.0.jar", "ObjectVersionUpdate": "SAMPLEUehYngP87ex1nzYIGYgfhypvDU" } } } } }
