AWS Cloud Pub/Sub Data Analytics Official Blog Streaming June 3, 2024

Easily stream data from AWS Kinesis to Google Cloud with Pub/Sub import topics - Pub/Sub import topics enable streaming ingestion into BigQuery from external sources, with the first supported external source being Amazon Kinesis Data Streams. Import topics provide a simplified way to ingest data from Amazon Kinesis Data Streams directly into Pub/Sub, reducing the complexity of setting up data pipelines between clouds.
