Amazon Kinesis Data Streams Gets Dry Run Feature for Safe Permission Testing

Amazon Kinesis Data Streams now lets you validate API requests without actually executing them by setting the DryRun parameter to true. This eliminates the old hacky workaround of deliberately crafting failing requests—you can now safely check permissions across five key APIs (PutRecord, PutRecords, GetRecords, GetShardIterator, and SubscribeToShard) in all AWS regions before touching production streams.
