2022/12/12 - Amazon Kinesis Video Streams - 2 new api methods
Changes This release adds support for public preview of Kinesis Video Stream at Edge enabling customers to provide configuration for the Kinesis Video Stream EdgeAgent running on an on-premise IoT device. Customers can now locally record from cameras and stream videos to the cloud on configured schedule.
Describes a stream’s edge configuration that was set using the StartEdgeConfigurationUpdate API. Use this API to get the status of the configuration if the configuration is in sync with the Edge Agent.

RecorderConfig (dict) --
The recorder configuration consists of the local MediaSourceConfig details, that are used as credentials to access the local media files streamed on the camera.
MediaSourceConfig (dict) --
The configuration details that consist of the credentials required ( MediaUriSecretArn and MediaUriType ) to access the media files streamed to the camera.
MediaUriSecretArn (string) --
The AWS Secrets Manager ARN for the username and password of the camera, or a local media file location.
MediaUriType (string) --
The Uniform Resource Identifier (Uri) type. The FILE_URI value can be used to stream local media files.
ScheduleConfig (dict) --
The configuration that consists of the ScheduleExpression and the DurationInMinutes details that specify the scheduling to record from a camera, or local media file, onto the Edge Agent. If the ScheduleExpression attribute is not provided, then the Edge Agent will always be set to recording mode.
ScheduleExpression (string) --
The Quartz cron expression that takes care of scheduling jobs to record from the camera, or local media file, onto the Edge Agent. If the ScheduleExpression is not provided for the RecorderConfig , then the Edge Agent will always be set to recording mode.
For more information about Quartz, refer to the Cron Trigger Tutorial page to understand the valid expressions and its use.
DurationInSeconds (integer) --
The total duration to record the media. If the ScheduleExpression attribute is provided, then the DurationInSeconds attribute should also be specified.
UploaderConfig (dict) --
The uploader configuration contains the ScheduleExpression details that are used, to schedule upload jobs for the recorded media files from the Edge Agent, to a Kinesis Video Stream.
ScheduleConfig (dict) --
The configuration that consists of the ScheduleExpression and the DurationInMinutes details that specify the scheduling to record from a camera, or local media file, onto the Edge Agent. If the ScheduleExpression is not provided, then the Edge Agent will always be in recording mode.
ScheduleExpression (string) --
The Quartz cron expression that takes care of scheduling jobs to record from the camera, or local media file, onto the Edge Agent. If the ScheduleExpression is not provided for the RecorderConfig , then the Edge Agent will always be set to recording mode.
For more information about Quartz, refer to the Cron Trigger Tutorial page to understand the valid expressions and its use.
DurationInSeconds (integer) --
The total duration to record the media. If the ScheduleExpression attribute is provided, then the DurationInSeconds attribute should also be specified.
DeletionConfig (dict) --
The deletion configuration is made up of the retention time ( EdgeRetentionInHours ) and local size configuration ( LocalSizeConfig ) details that are used to make the deletion.
EdgeRetentionInHours (integer) --
The number of hours that you want to retain the data in the stream on the Edge Agent. The default value of the retention time is 720 hours, which translates to 30 days.
LocalSizeConfig (dict) --
The value of the local size required in order to delete the edge configuration.
MaxLocalMediaSizeInMB (integer) --
The overall maximum size of the media that you want to store for a stream on the Edge Agent.
StrategyOnFullSize (string) --
The strategy to perform when a stream’s MaxLocalMediaSizeInMB limit is reached.
DeleteAfterUpload (boolean) --
The boolean value used to indicate whether or not you want to mark the media for deletion, once it has been uploaded to the Kinesis Video Stream cloud. The media files can be deleted if any of the deletion configuration values are set to true , such as when the limit for the EdgeRetentionInHours , or the MaxLocalMediaSizeInMB , has been reached.
Since the default value is set to true , configure the uploader schedule such that the media files are not being deleted before they are initially uploaded to AWS cloud.
An asynchronous API that updates a stream’s existing edge configuration. If this API is invoked for the first time, a new edge configuration will be created for the stream, and the sync status will be set to SYNCING .
The Kinesis Video Stream will sync the stream’s edge configuration with the Edge Agent IoT Greengrass component that runs on an IoT Hub Device setup at your premise. The time to sync can vary and depends on the connectivity of the Hub Device. The SyncStatus will be updated as the edge configuration is acknowledged, and synced with the Edge Agent. You will have to wait for the sync status to reach a terminal state such as: IN_SYNC and SYNC_FAILED , before using this API again.
If you invoke this API during the syncing process, a ResourceInUseException will be thrown. The connectivity of the stream's edge configuration and the Edge Agent will be retried for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, the status will transition into the SYNC_FAILED state.
