AWS M5 EC2 instance type support now that M3 is Previous Generation

Wowza Streaming Engine

Currently, the default instance type when setting up a AWS Marketplace (Linux PAID) server is “m3.large”. However, the M3 series has been replaced by the M5 series (https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/previous-generation/) . The M5 type is not available to launch from the AWS Marketplace. Will the M5 type be added? It is cheaper and has better performance, so it would be nice to be able to switch our Wowza server over to the newer generation.

Thanks!

Thanks @Philip McCullick for this feedback. I have passed it on to the Engine Product Manager and he will be adding M5 to the AWS options. ETA is mid-September as he is away for a work event. Please feel free to ping me for an update. Thanks again.

Can we also get C5 support?
