We can create a KDS from the AWS CLI as follows:

aws kinesis create-stream 
    --stream-name my-first-kinesis-stream 
    --shard-count 1 
    --profile admin

This command will not return anything. You may use the aws kinesis describe-stream command to get the details of the stream: 

aws kinesis describe-stream 
    --stream-name my-first-kinesis-stream 
    --profile admin

If stream creation happened successfully, you should see the StreamStatus as ACTIVE, as shown in the following screenshot:

You can also list the streams available using aws kinesis list-streams, as shown in the following code:

aws kinesis list-streams 
    --profile admin

This should return the following response in our case (assuming you have only one stream):
