AWS MediaStore LAB

 AWS MediaStore is a fully managed, serverless storage service designed specifically for media and entertainment applications. It provides high-performance, low-latency access to video and audio content, making it ideal for streaming applications, content delivery networks (CDNs), and media archives.

Prerequisites

• An AWS account
• Basic understanding of AWS services

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Create a Container

• Launch MediaStore: In the AWS Management Console, search for "MediaStore" and launch the service.
• Create Container: Click on "Create container".
• Provide Container Details: Enter a name for your container and select the desired storage class (Standard or Standard-Infrequent Access).

2. Configure Access Policies

• Configure Policies: Set access policies to control who can access the container and its contents.
• Create IAM Roles: Create IAM roles with appropriate permissions for accessing the container.

3. Upload Content

• Upload Content: Use the AWS SDK or the MediaStore CLI to upload your video or audio content to the container.

Python

import boto3

# Create a MediaStore client
client = boto3.client('mediastore')

# Upload a file
response = client.put_item(
    ContainerName='MyMediaStoreContainer',
    Path='/my-video.mp4',
    Body=open('my-video.mp4', 'rb')
)

4. Access Content

• Access Content: Use the MediaStore endpoint and the appropriate credentials to access the uploaded content.

Python

import boto3

# Create a MediaStore client
client = boto3.client('mediastore')

# Get a presigned URL
response = client.get_item_presigned_url(
    ContainerName='MyMediaStoreContainer',
    Path='/my-video.mp4'
)

# Access the content using the presigned URL

5. Configure CDN (Optional)

• Configure CDN: If you need to distribute your content globally, integrate MediaStore with a CDN like CloudFront.

Additional Considerations

• Storage Class: Choose the appropriate storage class based on your access frequency and cost requirements.
• Data Retention: Set data retention policies to manage your content lifecycle.
• Security: Implement appropriate security measures to protect your content.
• Integration: Integrate MediaStore with other AWS services like MediaPackage and MediaLive for end-to-end media workflows.
