Deploy the solution

This solution uses AWS CloudFormation templates and stacks to automate its deployment. The CloudFormation template specifies the AWS resources included in this solution and their properties. The CloudFormation stack provisions the resources that are described in the template.

Prerequisites

This solution is designed to work with Amazon CloudFront distributions used for video streaming. If you do not have one configured already, complete the applicable task before you launch this solution. For testing purposes, you can create video delivery pipeline including CloudFront distribution using the Live Streaming on AWS solution.

Refer to CloudFront prerequisites, which outlines which CloudFront configuration settings should be revised prior to launching the solution.

Inspect the body of video manifests published by the video origin service in use. If your video origin service references other objects using absolute URL paths, configure it to switch to relative paths instead.
