That is the "stream name" in the rtmp ingest point URL. The format would be something like

rtmp://domain:1935/live/streamname

stream key in OBS is streamname

For detail, please refer to page 7 and 8 of this pdf: https://d2908q01vomqb2.cloudfront.net/fb644351560d8296fe6da332236b1f8d61b2828a/2020/04/14/Connecting-OBS-Studio-to-AWS-Media-Services-in-the-Cloud-v2.pdf

Have a look here:

https://aws.amazon.com/de/blogs/media/connecting-obs-studio-to-aws-media-services-in-the-cloud/

Especially this document:

https://d2908q01vomqb2.cloudfront.net/fb644351560d8296fe6da332236b1f8d61b2828a/2020/04/14/Connecting-OBS-Studio-to-AWS-Media-Services-in-the-Cloud-v2.pdf

Where it says:

STEP C: CONFIGURE THE APPLIANCE

  1. Launch OBS Studio on the source system. Choose Settings to open the settings window. Choose Stream to access the streaming settings.

  2. Complete the fields:

  • For Stream Type, choose Custom Streaming Server.
  • For URL, copy one of the endpoint URLs from the input you created in Step B. Remove the /<stream_name> at the end of the URL.
  • For Stream key, type the stream name.
  • Leave the Use authentication box unchecked.
  • Choose Apply to save your changes.

  • Thanks for your comment, but I am unable to figure out the stream name :) because there are so many `/` – Muhammad Owais Feb 10 '22 at 20:29

    In the AWS Elemental Media Live console, click on Inputs -> Select your desired input and have a look at the `Endpoints`. These should be in a format: `rtmp://:/somename/someinstance`. Remove the `/someinstance` part, which is the Application instance from Step B / 6. of the PDF i gave you. Then you should be good to go with the remaining Endpoint URI as your `Server` in OBS. – Franco Feb 11 '22 at 10:01

What OBS refers to as "stream key" is the App Instance.
