Live streaming on AWS with Amazon S3 automatically configures AWS Elemental MediaLive, Amazon S3 and Amazon CloudFront to ingest, encode, package and deliver a single source live stream through the AWS Cloud. The Solution provides 3 Encoding profiles to support 1080p through 288p HTTP live streaming (HLS) outputs. For more details see the solution home page.
The solution was developed using the AWS Cloud Development Kit and also leverages a AWS Solutions Construct CloudFrontToS3
The solution supports RTP Push, RTMP push, HLS and AWS Elemental Link input types. For more detialed instructions see the implementation guide on the solution home page.
- HD-1080p profile: 1920x1080, 1280x720, 960x540, 768x432, 640x360, 512x288
- HD-720p profile: 1280x720, 960x540, 768x432, 640x360, 512x288
- SD-540p profile: 960x540, 768x432, 640x360, 512x288
The solution can be deployed through the CloudFormation template available on the solution home page.
- AWS Command Line Interface
- Node.js 12.x or later
- AWS CDK 1.102.0
The are 2 options for deploying the solution: using the CDK deployment tools or running the build script to generate a CFN template and the packaged lambda code.
This options simply flollows the standard CDK deployment process. You will need to run cdk bootstrap before you run cdk deply the first time to setup the cdk resource in your AWS account. Details on using the CDK can be found [here].
- Download or clone the repo and make the required changes to the source code.
- installl the dependecies for the lambda function and construct.
- then run
cdk deploy(first time use you will need to runcdk bootstrapfirst)
cd ./source/custom-resource
npm install --production
cd ../constructs
npm install
cdk bootstrap //if you havent already done so.
cdk deploy
The CloudFormation template (generated by the CDK) includes a lambda backed custom resource to configure MediaLive and create a UUID. To launch the solution the Lambda source code has to be deployed to an Amazon S3 bucket in the region you intend to deploy the solution.
Download or clone the repo and make the required changes to the source code.
Run unit tests to make sure added customization passes the tests:
cd ./deployment
chmod +x ./run-unit-tests.sh && ./run-unit-tests.sh
The CloudFormation template is configured to pull the Lambda deployment packages from Amazon S3 bucket in the region the template is being launched in. Create a bucket in the desired region with the region name appended to the name of the bucket. eg: for us-east-1 create a bucket named: my-bucket-us-east-1
aws s3 mb s3://my-bucket-us-east-1
Build the distributable:
chmod +x ./build-s3-dist.sh
./build-s3-dist.sh <my-bucket> live-streaming-on-aws-with-amazon-s3 <version>
Notes: The build-s3-dist script expects the bucket name as one of its parameters. This value should not have the region suffix (remove the -us-east-1)
Ensure that you are owner of the AWS S3 bucket.
aws s3api head-bucket --bucket my-bucket-us-east-1 --expected-bucket-owner YOUR-AWS-ACCOUNT-NUMBER
Deploy the distributable to the Amazon S3 bucket in your account:
aws s3 sync ./regional-s3-assets/ s3://my-bucket-us-east-1/live-streaming-on-aws-with-amazon-s3/<version>/
aws s3 sync ./global-s3-assets/ s3://my-bucket-us-east-1/live-streaming-on-aws-with-amazon-s3/<version>/
- Get the link of the live-streaming-on-aws-with-amazon-s3.template uploaded to your Amazon S3 bucket.
- Deploy the solution.
When deploying this solution you may have a DevOps operator IAM user that deploys this CloudFormation template. The json file located at the following directory is the minimum IAM permissions that an AWS IAM user needs to be able to deploy the CloudFormation template successfully.
