Streaming Endpoints – Media API – MediaKind

Streaming Endpoints

Streaming Endpoints are the thing that connects your clients to your content. Streaming Endpoints are tied to a subscription and must reside in the same location as everything else in the subscription. They do not have a direct relationship to any other API. Instead, ALL Streaming Locators are accessible via any Streaming Endpoint in a subscription. When you create a Streaming Endpoint, you get a DNS name that you can use to access your content. Combined with the listPaths API on the Streaming Locators API, you can construct a full URL to your content.

Key Differences with this API

Automatic CDN integrations are not yet supported
Custom hostnames are not yet supported
Autoscaling definitions are not yet supported (our implementation will differ significantly)
Usage will be metered for both network egress and Streaming Endpoints. If you are migrating from AMS, network egress was previously accounted separately from AMS charges.

Streaming Endpoints Skus

Streaming Endpoints have two SKUs: Standard and Premium. Standard SKUs offer 600Mbit/s of bandwidth on shared infrastructure. Premium Skus offer 200Mbit/s guaranteed bandwidth per instance and can scale far beyond 600Mbit/s.
