Log Data Storage Options for Amazon Kinesis Video Streams
Question
As a part of the smart city initiatives, Hyderabad (GHMC), one of the largest cities in southern India is working on capturing massive volumes of video streams 24/7 captured from the large numbers of “Vivotek IB9371 - HT” cameras installed at traffic lights, parking lots, shopping malls, and just about every public venue to help solve traffic problems, help prevent crime, dispatch emergency responders, and much more.
GHMC uses AWS to host their entire infrastructure. The camera's write stream into Kinesis Video Stream securely and eventually consumed by applications for custom video processing, on-demand video playback and also consumed by AWS Rekognition for video analytics.
GHMC is looking at monitoring and managing the platform by ensuring reliability, availability, and performance of Kinesis Video Streams.
Also GHMC need to track event logs of the actions taken by a user, role, or an AWS service by enabling continuous delivery in Amazon Kinesis Video Streams.
Where can the log data be stored? Select 3 options.

A. B. C. D. E. F.Answer: A, C, E.
Option A is correct -Amazon CloudWatch collects and processes raw data from Kinesis Video Streams into readable, near real-time metrics.
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/kinesisvideostreams/latest/dg/monitoring-cloudwatch.htmlOption B is incorrect - Amazon CloudWatch collects and processes raw data from Kinesis Video Streams into readable, near real-time metrics.
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/kinesisvideostreams/latest/dg/monitoring-cloudwatch.htmlOption C is correct -Amazon CloudTrail captures all API calls for Amazon Kinesis Video Streams as events.
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/kinesisvideostreams/latest/dg/monitoring-cloudtrail.htmlOption D is incorrect -Amazon CloudTrail captures all API calls for Amazon Kinesis Video Streams as events.
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/kinesisvideostreams/latest/dg/monitoring-cloudtrail.htmlOption E is correct -Enable continuous delivery of CloudTrail events, Event logs are stored in S3 with data being in log format.
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/kinesisvideostreams/latest/dg/monitoring-cloudtrail.htmlOption F is incorrect -Enable continuous delivery of CloudTrail events, Event logs are stored in S3 with data being in log format.
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/kinesisvideostreams/latest/dg/monitoring-cloudtrail.htmlThe Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) is using AWS to capture massive volumes of video streams from various public places such as traffic lights, parking lots, and shopping malls using "Vivotek IB9371 - HT" cameras. The video streams are securely written into Kinesis Video Stream, which is consumed by various applications for custom video processing and analytics using AWS Rekognition.
To monitor and manage the platform's reliability, availability, and performance of Kinesis Video Streams, GHMC needs to track event logs of the actions taken by a user, role, or an AWS service by enabling continuous delivery in Amazon Kinesis Video Streams.
The log data can be stored in the following three options:
A. Amazon CloudWatch collects and processes raw data from Kinesis Video Streams into readable, near real-time metrics. It provides a unified view of AWS resources, applications, and services that run on AWS. In this case, CloudWatch can be used to collect and process log data from Kinesis Video Streams to provide near real-time metrics for monitoring and alerting.
C. Amazon CloudTrail captures all API calls for Amazon Kinesis Video Streams as events. It provides a record of actions taken by a user, role, or an AWS service in Kinesis Video Streams. By enabling continuous delivery of CloudTrail events, GHMC can track and store event logs in a secure and durable manner.
E. Enable continuous delivery of CloudTrail events, Event logs are stored in S3 with data being in log format. CloudTrail events can be continuously delivered to an S3 bucket in a log format. This provides a durable, scalable, and cost-effective way to store and access the log data for further analysis or audit purposes.
Option D and F are incorrect because CloudWatch does not capture API calls for Kinesis Video Streams, and CloudWatch events are not stored in DynamoDB.
In summary, the log data can be stored in Amazon CloudWatch, Amazon CloudTrail, and Amazon S3. By leveraging these services, GHMC can ensure the reliability, availability, and performance of Kinesis Video Streams, track and store event logs, and gain insights into their video data.
