Operations, Monitoring & Control

IBC24 - Broadcast - Operations, Monitoring & Control

Broadcasters achieve flexibility, cost savings, and performance by running channel playout and distribution on AWS, but they also seek the same level of control and visibility into their broadcast workloads as they enjoy on-premises. This demonstration showcases an end-to-end monitoring and observability environment built using AWS services as well as open-source software and AWS Partner solutions. It allows operators with little or no cloud-specific skills to spin up playout channels and distribution pipelines, and provides an end-to-end view of their signal path, including real-time monitoring of video/audio quality, underlying infrastructure, and application-level performance and alerts. This enables customers to construct familiar MCR-style environments in the cloud for their channel playout and distribution workloads without compromising on the observability or automation they are accustomed to on-premises. (This demonstration won a NAB Show 2024 Product of the Year Award for Monitoring and Measuring Tools.)
