I currently have a Wowza EC2 instance (created with an AMI) running nicely for a webcam streaming service, however I’m starting to hit the limits of my instance as more publishers connect to stream their webcams. Because I can’t upgrade the instance, I’m going to need to create a new instance from an AMI and transfer across. How can I transfer all of the publisher account details, without having to create each one manually again on the new server?

Hello,

Once you [create](https://www.wowza.com/docs/wowza-streaming-engine-for-amazon-ec2-amis) the new AMI with Wowza Streaming Engine installed, you should be able to follow the guide below to transfer your configuration.
