AWS::MediaTailor::PrefetchSchedule PrefetchRetrieval

A complex type that contains settings governing when MediaTailor prefetches ads, and which dynamic variables that MediaTailor includes in the request to the ad decision server.

Syntax

To declare this entity in your CloudFormation template, use the following syntax:

Properties

DynamicVariables

The dynamic variables to use for substitution during prefetch requests to the ad decision server (ADS).

You initially configure dynamic variables for the ADS URL when you set up your playback configuration. When you specify DynamicVariables for prefetch retrieval, MediaTailor includes the dynamic variables in the request to the ADS.
