try on your machine
This command is used with the AWS Command Line Interface (CLI) to retrieve a shard iterator for a specific shard in an Amazon Kinesis stream.
Here's a breakdown of the command and its parameters:
aws
: The command-line interface for interacting with AWS services.kinesis
: Specifies the AWS Kinesis service.get-shard-iterator
: The API operation to get a shard iterator.--shard-iterator-type TRIM_HORIZON
: Specifies the type of shard iterator to retrieve. In this case,TRIM_HORIZON
indicates that the iterator will point to the earliest available record in the shard.--stream-name ${name}
: Specifies the name of the Amazon Kinesis stream. You need to replace${name}
with the actual stream name you're working with.--shard-id ${id}
: Specifies the ID of the shard for which you want to get the shard iterator. You need to replace${id}
with the actual shard ID you're targeting.
By executing this command, you will receive a shard iterator that allows you to read records from the specified shard of the given Amazon Kinesis stream, starting from the earliest available record.
