Authentication

Authentication uses the AWS default credential chain.

• AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
• IAM roles, instance profiles, or task roles
• AWS SSO or shared config profiles

Permissions or Network Requirements

The AWS principal needs kinesis:DescribeStreamSummary, kinesis:GetShardIterator, and kinesis:GetRecords on the selected stream. The runner must also be able to reach the regional Kinesis endpoint.

Troubleshooting

Symptom	Fix
AccessDenied or stream errors	Verify the AWS credential chain, stream name, region, and Kinesis permissions.
no records arriving	Check that producers are writing to the expected stream and shard activity is present.
