Optimize your AWS Elemental MediaPackage costs with these tips

Use Packaging Groups

Packaging groups help manage content efficiently. Bundling related assets together and applying common settings saves costs as opposed to individual configurations.

Optimize Configurations

Only include essential metadata, encryption schemes, and delivery protocols in your packaging configurations. Lessening unnecessary elements reduces storage and bandwidth costs.

Use AWS Batch

You can significantly lower infrastructure costs by enabling AWS Batch to automatically distribute packaging jobs across Spot instances, which use spare compute capacity.
