Adding a VPC interface to a MediaConnect flow - AWS Elemental MediaConnect

Adding a VPC interface to a MediaConnect flow

To avoid streaming your content over the public internet, you can add a VPC interface to your AWS Elemental MediaConnect flow. You can add up to two VPC interfaces to each flow.

Important

Before you begin this procedure, make sure that the following steps have been completed:

VPC Flow Logs can be used to capture information about the IP traffic going to and from network interfaces in your VPC. Flow log data can be published to CloudWatch Logs, Amazon S3, or Data Firehose. For more information about VPC Flow Logs, see Logging IP traffic using VPC Flow Logs in the Amazon VPC User Guide.

To add a VPC interface to a flow (console)
  1. On the Flows page, choose the name of the flow that you want to update.

  2. Choose the VPC interfaces tab.

  3. Choose Add VPC interface.

  4. For Name, specify a name for your VPC interface. The name of the VPC interface must be unique within the flow.

  5. For Network interface type, specify the type of network adapter that you want MediaConnect to use on this interface. If you don't set this value, it defaults to ENA.

    Note

    You can add only one EFA VPC interface, and up to two ENA VPC interfaces to a flow.

  6. For Role ARN, specify the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the role that you created when you set up MediaConnect as a trusted service.

  7. For VPC, choose the ID of the VPC that you want to use.

  8. For Subnet, choose the VPC subnet that you want MediaConnect to use to set up your VPC configuration. The subnet must reside in the same Availability Zone as the flow.

  9. For Security groups, specify the VPC security groups that you want MediaConnect to use to set up your VPC configuration. You must choose at least one security group.
