Building a Live Video Channel with MediaLive, MediaPackage and CloudFront

Monitoring a Live Streaming Workflow with Amazon CloudWatch

An important part of any video workflow is being able to monitor the status and health of the software services and their tasks in order to detect and correct problems before they jeopardize the workflow.
