Browser application to visualize relationships between your media services
Publication date: December 2018 (last update: July 2024)
Important
On December 31st 2024, AWS support for Media Services Application Mapper on AWS will end, and the GitHub repository will be archived. You will no longer be able to deploy Media Services Application Mapper on AWS via CloudFormation template within the AWS Console after this date. Existing deployments will continue to run. If you have deployed Media Services Application Mapper on AWS via cloning GitHub open-source code, you may continue to use the solution. If underlying service APIs change after solution support ends, deployments may error or may not be possible to stop / start.
The functionality provided by Media Services Application Mapper on AWS has been superseded
with functionality in the new feature AWS Elemental workflow monitor
Many Amazon Web Services (AWS) customers use media services to
prepare, process, and deliver broadcast and over-the-top (OTT)
streaming video from the AWS Cloud. While these services allow you
to innovate, test, and deploy video services, it is difficult to
quickly understand the relationships among several media services
resources that are configured to operate together. Especially when
multiple resources are reporting alerts or alarms through
Amazon CloudWatch
Media Services Application Mapper (MSAM) on AWS helps you visualize media service relationships and the real-time status of linear video services. This solution features a browser application that visualizes the relationships between your inventory and allows you to display the logical connections between media services. It also provides the status of related alerts and alarms that visualize error conditions in complex workflows to help you quickly navigate to the root cause for problematic workflows. The application features a tile view and a diagram view.
This solution monitors the following AWS Elemental products:
This solution also monitors the following supporting services that
are often used with media services:
Amazon CloudFront
This implementation guide describes architectural considerations and configuration steps
for deploying the Media Services Application Mapper on AWS in the AWS Cloud. It includes links
to an AWS CloudFormation
The guide is intended for IT infrastructure architects, administrators, and DevOps professionals who have practical experience with media workflows and architecting in the AWS Cloud.
