Hi,

AWS recently opened their new datacenter in Germany, offering EC2 instances. [http://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/aws-region-germany/](http://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/aws-region-germany/)

From our location the latency is way better compared to the eu-west-1 region.

Unfortunately at the moment there are no [pre-built Wowza AMIs](https://www.wowza.com/docs/pre-built-amis-amazon-machine-images%28amazon-machine-images%29) for Frankfurt available…can we expect to get images to use with eu-central-1 and if so, when? 🙂

Thanks,

Bernhard

Hi,

There aren’t any specific plans, but I will bring this subject up with our product management team, who may decide. No promises or timelines available though.

Thanks, that’d be great. AWS Frankfurt has a much lower latency for our target audience and we would really like to prefer the location in Germany over Ireland for our live streamings.

I recently saw that the images for eu-central-1 are now available, thank your very much! 🙂

Http origin" using Wowza Engine Manager, the property “randomizeMediaName” is still true (so weird). After I manually changed it to false the output media list contains no random sequence any more. ???
