Hi,

I am a Wowza userand I use the system apx 2-3 times in month. Now I use EC2 based on DevPay License- but every time I have to configure whole system - it takes about 1 hour with tests. Now I am looking for server which I could configure only once and then use with the same setings. My question is:

1. Do you provide servers or sites which I can use for my orgin server- I need 150 users for 1,5Mb. I would like to pay monthly invoice for server

2. Can I configure Wowza in a way that if my users will be over 150, system will switch me to CDN i.e. [http://www.cdn77.com/](http://www.cdn77.com/) ?

3. What do you think about EC2 or S3 Amazon service for my idea ?

Thank you in advance

Sebastian

Sebastian,

Yes, the [AWS Marketplace Wowza AMIs](https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/seller-profile?id=d4eb1ba3-4477-4c51-8f45-d9bc41201202) are EBS backed volumes which allow for stopping and starting, rather than just terminating. The Standard version is similar to devpay in that you do not need a separate license. It does require a separate subscription with AWS. I recommend using the Marketplace AMIs.
