Flow

Source: src/AWS/MediaConnect/Flow.ts

An AWS Elemental MediaConnect flow — a reliable live-video transport between a source and one or more outputs.

Creating a flow leaves it in STANDBY; a flow only ingests/egresses media (and bills for transport) once started with the StartFlow API. Flows bill hourly while ACTIVE, so alchemy never starts a flow implicitly.

Creating a Flow

const flow = yield* Flow("Broadcast", {
  source: {
    Name: "primary",
    Protocol: "rtp",
    WhitelistCidr: "10.24.34.0/23",
    IngestPort: 5000,
  },
});

Outputs

const flow = yield* Flow("Distribution", {
  source: {
    Name: "primary",
    Protocol: "rtp",
    WhitelistCidr: "10.24.34.0/23",
    IngestPort: 5000,
  },
  outputs: [
    {
      Name: "affiliate-east",
      Protocol: "rtp",
      Destination: "198.51.100.11",
      Port: 5010,
    },
  ],
});

Tags

const flow = yield* Flow("Broadcast", {
  source: { Protocol: "rtp", WhitelistCidr: "10.0.0.0/8", IngestPort: 5000 },
  tags: { team: "live-video" },
});
