Newer instance types
We use Wowza AMIs all around the world and they work pretty good.
Do you have a plan for supporting newer instance types? We use c4.4xlarge EC2 instances in most regions, but in some regions they are not available. Only newer instance type c5.4xlarge is available but your AMI doesn't support it. Could you please add it? Thank!
Wowza Media Server est le meilleur.
C'est bon
Excellent support
Fiable
Facile
Je ne pouvais pas enregistrer les flux RTP entrants, Wowza ne les captait pas et j'ai cherché une autre solution.
Je trouve que l'API a une barrière d'entrée. Pas de lancement en un clic ou quelque chose comme ça.
Un an de support seulement pour une licence à vie n'a pas de sens car les mises à jour à vie nécessiteront du support...
Les fichiers journaux prennent trop de place avec le temps et je ne suis pas sûr d'avoir lu une alerte pour les mettre ailleurs afin de ne pas remplir le disque !

Solution Facile et Experte
Et il dispose d'un très bon transcodeur pour transcoder les flux à différents débits. Avec le support GPU et Intel Quicksync, nous sommes capables de transcoder de nombreux flux dans une seule boîte.
Easy to setup, Many unsupported instance types
The marketplace AMI is only behind by a patch release so that's pretty good. Setup is easy with the marketplace. My major complain would be the lack of supported instance types. The vendor recommended instance type isn't even available for me to create anymore.
Cost makes no sense and the AMI is lagging behind severly
You can pay $65/mo per instance and install yourself on another AMI ( I suggest using a G2 instance then docker along with https://hub.docker.com/r/sameersbn/wowza/ ) or pay $92.31-$1,915.2 per month (depending on the instance type) for the exact same software. Of course, I assumed the software costs would be similar (and covered by my AWS credits; why they are not) so I found out the hard way.
Also, the AMI doesn't provide G2 support (GPU/NVENC support) and lags behind the release schedule so there's even more reason to use a standard instance or docker-capable AMI with GPU support and their monthly license. Still, be careful because whey they say "per instance", they don't mean "per machine" and they will bill you multiple times if their system "phones home" more than once for any reason. Found that out the hard way also.
g2 instances not available
Why g2 instances are not available? Is there any particular reason for it? We really have the need to utilize NVENC transcoding capability of g2.
