Hi @ziiki media, there’s an article that describes how to use the built-in MediaCache feature to stream VOD assets from a S3 bucket. See [https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-scale-video-on-demand-streaming-with-media-cache](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-scale-video-on-demand-streaming-with-media-cache)
