AWS - Elastic Transcoder

  1.  It is a media transcoding service.
  2. Converts video and audio files from their original source format into versions that can play on different devices (smartphones, tablets, PCs, TVs).
  3. Fully managed → no need to set up your own encoding servers or software.

 Key Features

  • Input/Output from S3 → You store media in Amazon S3, Elastic Transcoder reads it, processes it, and saves the output back to S3.

  • Presets → Predefined settings for different devices (e.g., iPhone, Android, Web, etc.).

  • Scalability → Automatically scales based on number of jobs.

  • Cost-effective → Pay only for minutes of output video/audio.

  • Thumbnails → Generate preview images during transcoding.

  • Notifications → Integrates with SNS to alert when jobs finish or fail.
