## `key_id`{% #key_id %}

**Type**: `STRING`**Provider name**: `KeyId`**Description**: The GUID for the customer-managed Amazon Web Services KMS key to use for encryption. This value can be a globally unique identifier, a fully specified ARN to either an alias or a key, or an alias name prefixed by "alias/".You can also use a master key owned by Kinesis Data Streams by specifying the alias `aws/kinesis`.

- Key ARN example: `arn:aws:kms:us-east-1:123456789012:key/12345678-1234-1234-1234-123456789012`

- Globally unique key ID example: `12345678-1234-1234-1234-123456789012`
- Alias name example: `alias/MyAliasName`
- Master key owned by Kinesis Data Streams: `alias/aws/kinesis`



## `open_shard_count`{% #open_shard_count %}

**Type**: `INT32`**Provider name**: `OpenShardCount`**Description**: The number of open shards in the stream.

## `retention_period_hours`{% #retention_period_hours %}

**Type**: `INT32`**Provider name**: `RetentionPeriodHours`**Description**: The current retention period, in hours.

## `stream_arn`{% #stream_arn %}

**Type**: `STRING`**Provider name**: `StreamARN`**Description**: The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) for the stream being described.

## `stream_creation_timestamp`{% #stream_creation_timestamp %}

**Type**: `TIMESTAMP`**Provider name**: `StreamCreationTimestamp`**Description**: The approximate time that the stream was created.

## `stream_mode_details`{% #stream_mode_details %}

**Type**: `STRUCT`**Provider name**: `StreamModeDetails`**Description**: Specifies the capacity mode to which you want to set your data stream. Currently, in Kinesis Data Streams, you can choose between an on-demand ycapacity mode and a provisioned capacity mode for your data streams.

- `stream_mode`**Type**: `STRING`**Provider name**: `StreamMode`**Description**: Specifies the capacity mode to which you want to set your data stream. Currently, in Kinesis Data Streams, you can choose between an on-demand capacity mode and a provisioned capacity mode for your data streams.

## `stream_name`{% #stream_name %}

**Type**: `STRING`**Provider name**: `StreamName`**Description**: The name of the stream being described.

## `stream_status`{% #stream_status %}

**Type**: `STRING`**Provider name**: `StreamStatus`**Description**: The current status of the stream being described. The stream status is one of the following states:

- `CREATING` - The stream is being created. Kinesis Data Streams immediately returns and sets `StreamStatus` to `CREATING`.
- `DELETING` - The stream is being deleted. The specified stream is in the `DELETING` state until Kinesis Data Streams completes the deletion.
- `ACTIVE` - The stream exists and is ready for read and write operations or deletion. You should perform read and write operations only on an `ACTIVE` stream.
- `UPDATING` - Shards in the stream are being merged or split. Read and write operations continue to work while the stream is in the `UPDATING` state.
