Amazon Kinesis Video Streams (KVS) now supports WebRTC in AWS GovCloud (US) Regions

Amazon Kinesis Video Streams (KVS) now supports WebRTC (Real-Time Communication) in AWS GovCloud (US) Regions, bringing real-time, low-latency media and data streaming to security-sensitive workloads in the cloud. Amazon Kinesis Video Streams makes it easy to securely ingest, store, and process video from connected devices at scale. WebRTC support extends this capability to real-time, two-way media streaming, enabling sub-second latency for mission-critical applications.

With this update, AWS customers and AWS Partners who operate in the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions can now build and deploy real-time video streaming applications without compromising on compliance. For example, the update enables developers within these agencies to support critical use cases including live surveillance feeds for border security and military installations, real-time body camera streaming for law enforcement with data residency compliance, remote drone and UAV video monitoring for defense operations, and Internet of Things (IoT) smart infrastructure monitoring for state and local governments, all while meeting Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) High and other regulatory requirements.

This feature is available today in AWS GovCloud (US-East) and AWS GovCloud (US-West). To get started, visit the Amazon Kinesis Video Streams WebRTC product page and see the AWS Region table for complete regional availability.
