Creating a resource share in MediaConnect

You share a source endpoint or a destination endpoint by adding it to a resource share in AWS RAM. You can create a new resource share for the endpoint, or add the endpoint to a resource share that you already own.

Prerequisites

• You own at least one registered source endpoint or destination endpoint.

• You have the AWS account ID, organization Amazon Resource Name (ARN), or organizational unit ARN of each principal that you want to share with.

Procedure

To create a resource share

1. Open the MediaConnect console.

2. In the navigation pane, under Endpoints, choose Source endpoints or Destination endpoints.

3. Select one or more endpoints that you want to share.

4. Choose Share.

5. For Sharing method, choose one of the following:

   1. Create a resource share - Enter a Resource share name, choose a Principal type (AWS account, Organization, or Organizational unit), and enter the Principal.

   2. Add to an existing resource share - Choose an Existing resource share, and review Principals that will get access.

6. Choose Share.

Note

A resource share holds resources from one AWS Region only. If your selection spans AWS Regions, MediaConnect creates a separate resource share for each Region, and the consuming account accepts each one separately.

When you add an endpoint to a resource share that the consuming account has already accepted, it can use the endpoint without accepting again.

Next steps

After you create a resource share, you can:

• Accept the resource share in the consuming account.

• Review the endpoints that you share.
