With AWS Elemental MediaTailor you can now initialize playback sessions with query parameter metadata that will be written into the personalized manifests as query parameters for subsequent manifest requests.

This new feature allows you to pass key information at session initialization that the player will continue to send for every manifest request in the form of URI query parameters. This functionality lets you use MediaTailor in more advanced CDN workflows that include dynamic origin routing and to pass token key value pairs that are evaluated by the CDN for every manifest request. 

Visit the AWS global region table for a full list of AWS Regions where AWS Elemental MediaTailor is available.

For more information on how to use this new feature, please visit the MediaTailor documentation page.
