Managing Streams

List, create, get, update, move, and delete streams in the Streaming service. A stream is a partitioned, append-only log of messages.

For requirements to create and manage streams, see Getting Started with Streaming.

For stream pools, see Managing Stream Pools.

Tasks

Required IAM Policy

To use Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, an administrator must be a member of a group granted security access in a policy by a tenancy administrator. This access is required whether you're using the Console or the REST API with an SDK, CLI, or other tool. If you get a message that you don't have permission or are unauthorized, verify with the tenancy administrator what type of access you have and which compartment your access works in.

For administrators: The policy in Let streaming admins manage streaming resources lets the specified group do everything with streaming and related Streaming service resources.

Policies for Private Endpoints

To set up a private endpoint, you must have access to a VCN with a private subnet where DNS resolution is enabled. For general information about policies and permissions to do this, see IAM Policies for Networking. Specifically, you need use permissions for a VNIC, a network security group, if you specify one, and a subnet. For example:

allow user group ServiceWriters to use vnics in compartment ABC
allow user group ServiceWriters to use network-security-groups in compartment ABC
allow user group ServiceWriters to use subnets in compartment XYZ

Policies for Encryption Keys

To use your own encryption key, you must let the Streaming service use a Vault key to encrypt data in streams in this stream pool. For example:

allow service streaming to use keys in compartment ABC where target.key.id = '<key_OCID>'

The preceding policy also requires a companion policy to let Streaming use a key on behalf of a user group to create a stream pool that uses the key for cryptographic purposes. For example:

allow user group StreamWriters to use key-delegate in compartment ABC where target.key.id = '<key_OCID>'

If you're new to policies, see IAM Policies Overview. For information about Streaming permissions, see Details for the Streaming Service.

Applying Tags

Apply tags to resources to help organize them according to your business needs. You can apply tags when you create a resource, and you can update a resource later to add, revise, or remove tags. For general information about applying tags, see Resource Tags.
