#111: Aws Kinesis must be set up on the local machine. Currently, 3 ways of Authentication are supported which are as follows :

1. Using Profile name: Using only a profile name is sufficient, but this will require the setup of configure and credentials files of AWS on the local machine.
2. If the AWS account is user-based: Provide an access key, secret key, and session token in the CDD file for authentication. This does not require setting up AWS on the local machine.
3. If the AWS account is role-based: In addition to the access key, secret key, and session token, provide role arn and role session name for the authentication. This does not require setting up AWS on the local machine.

#112: AWS Kinesis, While starting the BE application, introduced a check whether the kinesis data stream exists or not, in case it does not exist, it will throw an error and terminate. This applies to producers and consumers.
