Auto wire kinesis stream to kinesis firehose?

Question

I'm publishing data to a kinesis stream that is processed by some consumers. I'd like the raw data published to the stream to also be stored in s3. Is it possible to auto wire a kinesis stream to a kinesis firehose or do I need to directly publish to the firehose from a kinesis consumer?

Kinesis Firehose can now read data directly from Amazon Kinesis Streams!

Is it possible to auto wire a kinesis stream to a kinesis firehose

At the moment, you can't accomplish this, so you have to wire them by yourself.

AWS provides an OSS lambda project to forward Kinesis Streams to Kinesis Firehose.
