HAQM Kinesis, which we are now calling HAQM Kinesis Streams, stores incoming data for a period of 24 hours by default. HAQM Kinesis Streams can now retain your streaming data for up to 7 days. You can dynamically configure the data retention period through an API call. For more information about extended data retention, visit Changing Data Retention Period.
