aws-kinesis: Write one record to a Kinesis stream.
$ aws kinesis put-record --stream-name ${name} --partition-key ${key} --data ${base64_encoded_message}
try on your machine

The command you provided is using the AWS Command-Line Interface (CLI) to put a record into an Amazon Kinesis data stream. Here is a breakdown of the different components:

  1. aws kinesis put-record: This is the command to put a record into an Amazon Kinesis data stream using the AWS CLI.

  2. --stream-name ${name}: This option specifies the name of the data stream where you want to put the record. ${name} is a placeholder that you need to replace with the actual name of your stream.

  3. --partition-key ${key}: This option specifies the partition key to use when putting the record. A partition key is used to determine the shard in which the record will be stored. ${key} is a placeholder that you need to replace with the desired partition key value.

  4. --data ${base64_encoded_message}: This option specifies the data of the record you want to put into the stream. ${base64_encoded_message} is a placeholder that you need to replace with the base64-encoded message you want to send. Note that the message should be base64-encoded since Kinesis expects the payload to be in that format.

Once you replace the placeholders with appropriate values, running this command will execute the AWS CLI command and put the record into the specified Kinesis data stream.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
