Amazon IVS Real-Time Streaming now supports redundant ingest

Amazon IVS Real-Time Streaming Updates

Amazon Interactive Video Service (Amazon IVS) Real-Time Streaming now supports redundant ingest, helping protect your live streams against source encoder failures and first-mile network issues. With redundant ingest, you can stream from two encoders simultaneously to a single stage with automated failover, ensuring uninterrupted delivery to your viewers.

Redundant ingest is ideal for live events, 24/7 live streams, or any scenario where uninterrupted delivery is essential. This capability helps you maintain viewer engagement during unexpected disruptions and enables continuous 24/7 streaming.

What to do

• Utilize redundant ingest for critical live streams to ensure continuous delivery.
• Configure your encoders to stream to a single stage with automated failover.
• Visit the Amazon IVS Real-Time Streaming RTMP ingest documentation for setup instructions.
