AWS Elemental MediaStore

Benefits

High performance, optimized for video

AWS Elemental MediaStore is optimized to deliver performance to meet the unique requirements of high-scale, high-quality media workloads (delivering low-latency reads and writes concurrently). This means you can deliver consistent quality-of-service to your viewers, lowering the risk of buffering video and reducing end-to-end latency.

Scale with your audience

AWS Elemental MediaStore scales automatically with the volume of requests you receive. Increases in load don’t negatively impact the quality of the viewing experience. This automatic scalability eliminates the expense and complexity of pre-provisioning capacity. If your audience size goes down, there is no need to de-scale - the service automatically sizes to varied capacity while you pay only for what you use.

Familiar management tools for access control

AWS Elemental MediaStore integrates with AWS features for access control, using AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) policies and roles, with support for resource policies, allowing you to specify granular access controls.

AWS Elemental MediaStore Features

AWS Elemental MediaStore is a video origination and storage service. It offers the performance and consistency required for delivering streaming media combined with the security and durability AWS offers across its services. The service can be accessed through the AWS Management Console, or via APIs or AWS SDKs and configured to your workflow.

Key features

Performance when you need it

When you create or update a video file in AWS Elemental MediaStore, it is automatically held in a replicated cache for the first few minutes. This gives predictable latency and great performance, regardless of how many viewers watch your stream.

Consistent, low latency reads, writes, and updates

Consistent read-after-write, and read-after-update performance is required for HTTP-based streaming video protocols that use manifests to tell a player what objects to download. If the content is not available immediately when requested, buffering or playback failures will occur, and if content manifests aren’t current, devices will simply stop playback. AWS Elemental MediaStore is built for low-latency reads and writes, and high volumes of requests, which allows you to deliver consistent quality-of-service to viewers.

Access Control Management

Integrated security management tools let you create Identity and Access Management (IAM) roles, improving security and restricting access to content to specific roles. As an example, you can restrict access to entire storage containers, or just particular content paths, exposing only the content required to CDNs and end viewers. Regardless of your workload, AWS security management tools give you the control, whether its managing content read access, or delegating write access to a particular set of users.

Use Independently or with AWS Media Services

As one of the AWS Media Services, you can choose to use AWS Elemental MediaStore as a standalone service or integrate it with AWS services for live video encoding, VOD processing, ad personalization and monetization, or media-optimized storage. Additionally, other AWS services, such as the Amazon CloudFront CDN, offer seamless interoperability with AWS Elemental MediaPackage.
