Posted on: Sep 20, 2018

AWS has updated Live Streaming on AWS, a solution that automatically provisions the services necessary to build a highly resilient and scalable architecture that delivers your live video content worldwide. The solution now leverages the broadcast-grade features of AWS Elemental MediaLive to ingest your input feeds and transcode your content into two adaptive bitrate (ABR) HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) streams. MediaPackage packages those streams into HLS, Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (DASH), and Microsoft Smooth Streaming (MSS) formats that are distributed through Amazon CloudFront. The solution also includes a demo HTML preview player that you can use to test the solution.

The solution deploys AWS Elemental MediaLive, AWS Elemental MediaPackage, Amazon S3, and Amazon CloudFront. For pricing details, see the pricing webpage for each AWS service you will be using in this solution. To learn more about Live Streaming on AWS, see the solution webpage.
