Container image
Containers are lightweight, portable execution environments that wrap server application software in a filesystem that includes everything it needs to run. Container applications run on supported container runtimes and orchestration services, such as Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) or Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS). Both eliminate the need for you to install and operate your own container orchestration software by managing and scheduling containers on a scalable cluster of virtual machines.

Usage instructions
Note: The user or role that you use for integration must enable or create a Task Execution IAM Role with the necessary permissions ('IAM Policy for Container Products')!
Use the provided CloudFormation sample template to launch the MC2GO module. The template creates a new ECS Cluster based on EC2, VPC network, IAM Roles. For some transcoding cases more powerful EC2 instances and memory amount is highly recommended. On the 'Outputs' tab of the created CloudFormation stack, you find the ClusterUrl (link to created cluster) and Mc2goRestApi (address of mc2go rest api module, click the link to check launched module). The Cloud Formation template has default values for EC2 instance type, memory amount and CPU count. These parameters are suitable for the resource intensive preset of a module. Depending on the use case, you can choose other (more or less powerful) EC2 instances.

Poor Instruction
This container product has very poor instructions. The instruction link (https://www.mainconcept.com/eu/microservices/mc2go-documentation/mc2go-ott-live-encoder.html#c35684 ) only applies if you have purchased and downloaded the product directly from MainConcept. If you subscribed from AWS Marketplace as I did then the instructions don't match. There is no zip file to unzip, there is no scripts to run. You only have the container image which produces the error "You must read, agree and accept EULA before using 2GO modules." when you try to run it except there is no way to read and accept the EULA because those files are missing (probably bunded in their zip file if you purchase from them directly).
