AWS Elemental MediaLive Offers Lower Cost Live Channels with Single-Pipeline Option
Today AWS Elemental MediaLive adds the option to create “Single-pipeline” channels, a lower cost alternative to “Standard” channels. MediaLive Single-pipeline channels have one input and a single encoding pipeline delivering a single channel output, rather than the redundant dual Availability Zone (AZ) pipelines that MediaLive provides with a Standard channel. The rates for inputs, outputs, and add-on functionality used for Single-pipeline channels are significantly lower than the rates for Standard channels.

AWS Elemental MediaLive Standard channels provide two ingest addresses for push inputs or require two ingest locations for pull inputs. Two encoding pipelines are provisioned, distributed across two separate AZs, and two channel outputs are delivered to two destinations.
