Technical requirements

In the hands-on sections of this chapter, we will use the AWS Database Migration Service (DMS) service to ingest data from a database source, and then we will ingest streaming data using Amazon Kinesis. To ingest data from a database, you need IAM permissions that allow your user to create an RDS database, an EC2 instance, a DMS instance, and a new IAM role and policy.

For the hands-on section on ingesting streaming data, you will need IAM permissions to create a Kinesis Data Firehose instance, as well as permissions to deploy a CloudFormation template. The CloudFormation template that is deployed will create IAM roles, a Lambda function, as well as Amazon Cognito users and other Cognito resources.

To query the newly ingested data, you will need permission to create an AWS Glue Crawler and permission to use Amazon Athena to query data.
