Overview
Real-time streaming infrastructure that deploys like the rest of your stack.
Most streaming servers assume you want to manage long-lived instances. If your platform runs on ECS or EKS, that assumption costs you: a separate deployment pipeline, a separate scaling model, a separate on-call rotation, all for one workload.
Ant Media Server Enterprise ships as a container image for Amazon ECS, EKS, ECS Anywhere and EKS Anywhere. It uses your orchestration, your service discovery, your secrets management, your observability, your CI/CD.
WHO RUNS IT THIS WAY
Platform teams with a streaming requirement. You did not ask for a video product, you were handed a video requirement. This makes it look like everything else you operate.
Managed service providers and AWS consulting partners. One container per client, isolated by namespace or cluster, billed per container-hour. Scale each tenant independently without a licensing conversation for every new customer.
Multi-tenant SaaS platforms. Conferencing, telehealth, virtual events, auction platforms - anywhere you need per-customer isolation and elastic per-customer capacity.
Bursty event-driven workloads. Scheduled auctions, match days, product launches. Scale out on your own signal, scale to zero between events, pay for neither in between.
FULL ENTERPRISE CAPABILITY
Sub-500ms WebRTC delivery. Ingest over WebRTC, MoQ, RTMP, RTMPS, SRT, RTSP, WHIP, NDI, UDP and MPEG-TS. Delivery over WebRTC, LL-HLS, HLS, CMAF, DASH, MoQ and VOD. Adaptive bitrate transcoding, live DVR, S3 recording, CloudFront integration, DRM for Widevine, FairPlay and PlayReady, token authentication.
SCALING IS A POLICY, NOT A PURCHASE
Each running container is licensed and billed separately at per container-hour. Configure ECS Service Auto Scaling or a Kubernetes HPA against whatever signal reflects your load. Cluster mode across ECS Fargate is documented and supported.
THE LICENCE DOES NOT METER YOUR BUSINESS
No per-stream, per-minute or per-viewer fees. No cap on connections, broadcasts or concurrent viewers. Your capacity is set by the CPU and memory you allocate to each task.
BUILD ON IT
REST and Java APIs, custom modules, webhooks and stream health alerting. SDKs for iOS, Android, JavaScript, Flutter, React Native and Unity. Support direct from the Ant Media engineering team.
WHEN TO CHOOSE A DIFFERENT LISTING
If you are not already running containers, the AMI listings are simpler: Enterprise on x86 for the broadest instance selection, Graviton for ARM64 estates, GPU for heavy transcoding. All run identical software.
PROVEN IN PRODUCTION
Beehome embedded live streaming into a SaaS platform serving 50,000 frontline workers. Warpwire by Cadmium powers virtual events at scale. Lynk Remote Technologies runs enterprise real-time video. AppMan delivers secure video for insurance workflows.

Highlights
- Streaming that fits how your platform team already works: If everything else you run is a container, your streaming server should be too. Deploy to Amazon ECS, EKS, ECS Anywhere, or EKS Anywhere using the orchestration, service mesh, secrets management, observability, and CI/CD you already have: no pet servers, no separate deployment pipeline, no second on-call story for one workload.
- Built for multi-tenant and managed service deployments: Each running container is licensed and billed independently, so per-client isolation is a scheduling decision rather than a licensing negotiation. Managed service providers and AWS consulting partners use this to run separate streaming stacks per customer on shared infrastructure. Scale on CPU, connection count, or any custom CloudWatch metric. Containers that stop, stop billing.
- Per container-hour, never per stream: $0.49 per container-hour with no limits on connections, broadcasts, or concurrent viewers. Real capacity is a function of the CPU and memory you allocate, not a licence tier. Full Enterprise feature set: sub-500ms WebRTC, RTMP, SRT, RTSP, WHIP, NDI, LL-HLS, HLS, CMAF, DASH, MoQ, and Zixi. Runs on x86, ARM, and GPU nodes.

Dimensions summary
You pay by the container hour for the Enterprise Edition running on ECS or EKS. Billing is usage-based, so you are charged only for the hours your containers run. This single dimension scales directly with runtime — more container hours means more cost, and you can stop containers to reduce charges. The license does not cap viewers or connections; your capacity depends on the compute you provision. AWS bills the underlying infrastructure, such as compute and data transfer, separately from this hourly license charge.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
One container hour is one running instance of the Enterprise Edition for one hour. Each container or Kubernetes POD needs its own license, so running multiple containers meters each one separately. Partial hours count toward runtime. Stopped containers stop accruing the hourly license charge.
Cost scales with the number of running containers and their hours. Each added container or POD accrues its own hourly charge while active. Auto-scaling adds containers when load rises and removes them when idle, so charges track actual running instances. The license itself sets no viewer or connection cap.
The hourly charge covers only the Enterprise Edition license. AWS bills compute, storage, and data transfer separately. Cluster setups also need a load balancer and a database server, which are not part of this charge. You provision and pay for that infrastructure through AWS.

- Amazon ECS
Container image
Containers are lightweight, portable execution environments that wrap server application software in a filesystem that includes everything it needs to run. Container applications run on supported container runtimes and orchestration services, such as Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) or Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS). Both eliminate the need for you to install and operate your own container orchestration software by managing and scheduling containers on a scalable cluster of virtual machines.

Easy Setup, Awesome API Integration, and Amazing Performance
Reviewed on Apr 30, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
I love how easy this was to set up and start using. As a software engineering student, I find the API integration awesome because it lets me build custom pipelines. On top of that, the performance is amazing compared to other software out there. I’m currently using the Community Edition, and the performance and overall suite of features are a great fit for my projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
My only real gripe with Ant Media Server right now is that adaptive bitrate streaming and the WebRTC codec aren’t available in the on-premise Community Edition. In this day and age, I consider that an essential capability for reaching lower-bitrate devices and connections, especially when the stream is being hosted on hardware the individual already owns.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a software engineering student who DJs, this allows me to build a custom streaming solution that’s independent of the big services like Twitch, YouTube, or Mixcloud. It gives me more control over my stream, including how it’s deployed.

Versatile, Reliable, and Perfect for Self-Hosting
Reviewed on Jan 02, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
It's incredibly versatile. I've been using the Community edition for a few years and have a wide variety of input sources. With a very small number of one-time configuration changes, the server has been able to handle them all with modest hardware. Having the ability to host our own instance on internal networks is extremely useful.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't think there's anything that I necessarily dislike.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have a good number of private streams that need to be hosted on internal, sandboxed networks. Ant Media Server allows us to do this quickly and easily.
