Kinesis waste check
Over Provisioned Kinesis
over_provisioned_kinesis
What it finds
Over Provisioned Kinesis: one of the Kinesis checks in the analytics optimization group. Checks in this group look for: analytics and streaming capacity that is idle, left running, oversized, or configured in a way that bills more than the workload needs.
Why it costs money
Clusters, streams and jobs bill while they exist, so a forgotten or over-provisioned one costs the same as a busy one.
How it is detected
Runs in the partner build and the paid hosted tiers.
AWS's own tools
None of Trusted Advisor, Cost Optimization Hub or Compute Optimizer flags this.
Checked against the AWS documentation.
Where this check runs
This check ships in the partner build, for consultancies that scan client accounts, and in the paid hosted tiers.
