EvoStream Media Server
EvoStream | 2.0.1.5649Linux/Unix, Ubuntu 16.04 - 64-bit Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
Simple yet powerful streaming server.
The Evostream implementation in EC2 is very easy to use and configure.
I used the EC2 specific documentation here:

I was able to start streaming a video within minutes of launching the AMI.
In terms of performance, I was surprised how great the software performs, even on a t2.micro instance!

An excellent low resource media server
I've researched a large number of media servers available on the market today. None come close to the ease of use, capabilities or reliability as Evostream.
Instillation was literally one click with an AMI. It was up and running in minutes. I'm actually surprised how easy it was. Others I've tried didn't have an AMI, or required system parameters that were not easy to implement.
So far so good. We've used Evostream's API documentation to implement streaming logs, event notifications and cloud recording. Creating HLS files is pretty easy and even transcoding into different resolutions or bitrates isn't that hard.
AWS resources are considerably low for what we are streaming and we couldn't be happier.
We did run into one issue which was resolved easily by reaching out to Evostream. Was resolved within half a day. Which was lightning quick compared to other companies that I've dealt with.
SSH does not work
I tried a 30 day trial of the evostream server from their AMI. I chose to create a new security group based on the recommendations. The new group included SSH access, yet SSH to the instance just would not work. After trying for some time to make it work, I ended up just deleting this server and will not opt to purchase. I would not recommend it.
