Store live streaming content in AWS S3 and stream with AWS Cloudfront

Wowza Streaming Engine
1

Hi

I’m quite new to wowza, I’ve installed Wowza in EC2, now how can I implement the following–

When users live stream their content it will be stored into AWS S3 and then viewers will watch those content via the S3 served by Cloudfront.

Also how do I live stream from Ubuntu?

Thanks

If you are using one of the Wowza pre-built AMIs, the easiest way is to 1) configure an application with StreamType “live-record”, 2) enable s3fs (FUSE) mount (see EC2 Guide, then 3) Enable ModuleMediaWriterFileMover

For playback use MediaCache. The vods3 application installed on a pre-built Wowza AMI is a MediaCache application. This is also covered in detail in the EC2 guide.
