== AWS Kinesis Sink Kamelet Description

=== Authentication methods

In this Kamelet you can avoid using explicit static credentials by specifying the `useDefaultCredentialsProvider` option and set it to `true`.

The order of evaluation for Default Credentials Provider is the following:

 - Java system properties - `aws.accessKeyId` and `aws.secretKey`.
 - Environment variables - `AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID` and `AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY`.
 - Web Identity Token from AWS STS.
 - The shared credentials and config files.
 - Amazon ECS container credentials - loaded from the Amazon ECS if the environment variable `AWS_CONTAINER_CREDENTIALS_RELATIVE_URI` is set.
 - Amazon EC2 Instance profile credentials. 
 
You can also use the Profile Credentials Provider, by setting the `useProfileCredentialsProvider` option to `true` and `profileCredentialsName` to the profile name.

Only one of access key/secret key or default credentials provider could be used

For more information, see the https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-java/latest/developer-guide/credentials.html[AWS credentials documentation]

=== Optional Headers

In the header, you can optionally set the `file` / `ce-partition` property to set the Kinesis partition key.

If you do not set the property in the header, the Kamelet uses the exchange ID for the partition key.

You can also set the `sequence-number` / `ce-sequencenumber` property in the header to specify the Sequence number.
