New – Amazon EC2 VT1 Instances for Live Multi-stream Video TranscodingCategory: Kubernetes, nginx, github
Today, I am happy to announce the general availability of Amazon EC2 VT1 instances that are designed to provide the best price performance for multi-stream video transcoding with resolutions up to 4K UHD. These VT1 instances feature Xilinx® Alveo™ U30 media accelerator transcoding cards with accelerated H.264/AVC and H.265/HEVC codecs and provide up to 30% better price per stream compared to the latest GPU-based EC2 instances and up to 60% better price per stream compared to the latest CPU-based EC2 instances.
Get Started with EC2 VT1 Instances You can now launch VT1 instances in the Amazon EC2 console, AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI), or using an SDK with the Amazon EC2 API.
Xilinx provides the “Xilinx Video Transcoding SDK” which includes: VT1 instances can be coupled with Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) and Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) to efficiently scale transcoding workloads and with Amazon CloudFront to deliver content globally. VT1 instances can also be launched with Amazon Machine Images (AMIs) and containers developed by AWS Marketplace partners, such as Nginx for supplemental video processing functionality.
