Notes:

• All numbers above are examples and region‑specific; AWS publishes regional price tables on each official pricing page — consult the official AWS pricing pages (linked in my sources) for exact regional rates, tier thresholds, and the most up‑to‑date figures.
• I used only AWS official product pricing pages for these components (Kinesis Data Streams, Data Firehose, Kinesis Data Analytics for SQL, Kinesis Video Streams).
