Co-authored by Felix Candelario and Benjamin F., AWS Solutions Architects Many companies are looking to optimize their AWS usage and lower operational costs. While production environments are typically well-governed and reach optimal use through services such as Auto Scaling, sometimes development and testing need a different approach. There are a number of ways to schedule […]

In Amazon ECS, you have always had the benefit of being able to use IAM roles for Amazon EC2 in order to simplify API requests from your containers. This also allows you to follow AWS best practices by not storing your AWS credentials in your code or configuration files, as well as providing benefits such […]

Michael RaposaPrincipal Consultant For a video asset, technical metadata includes information such as video codec, audio codec, resolution, frame rate, aspect ratio, and a host of other very detailed technical information. With technical metadata, customers can make intelligent decisions about what to do next in their workflow. The asset may be transcoded to a standard […]

To isolate critical parts of their app’s architecture, customers often rely on Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) and private subnets.
