The record

What it does: Amazon IVS is a managed live streaming solution for making low-latency or real-time video available to viewers around the world.
Latency: AWS lists real-time streaming latency as under 300 milliseconds and low-latency streaming as 3–5 seconds.
Protocols: Real-time streaming uses RTMPS and WHIP input with WebRTC output; low-latency streaming uses RTMPS and SRT input with HLS output.
Interactive features: The service provides chat APIs and timed metadata APIs that applications can use for chat rooms, polls, graphics, and synchronized elements.
SDK platforms: Broadcast SDKs support iOS, Android, and web, while the Player SDK supports playback on web, iOS, and Android.
Collaboration: A stage lets multiple hosts exchange audio and video in real time and can be broadcast to an IVS channel for a larger audience.
Adaptive playback: For standard or advanced channels, IVS can transcode incoming video into multiple resolutions and bitrates for different devices and network conditions.
Recording integration: IVS can record live video to Amazon S3 for archiving and on-demand playback, and the recordings can be used with AWS Elemental MediaConvert.
Security: AWS describes IVS security as a shared responsibility, with AWS responsible for cloud infrastructure and customers responsible for security in the cloud according to their service use and requirements.
Scale: AWS says IVS channels can scale to deliver streams to millions of concurrent viewers.
Usage limits: Basic channels accept input up to 1.5 Mbps at 480p or 3.5 Mbps at 720p or 1080p; standard and advanced channels accept up to 8.5 Mbps and 1080p.
Pricing model: IVS is pay-as-you-go: low-latency streaming is charged by video input and output, real-time streaming by participant hours, and chat by messages sent and delivered.
Developer resources: AWS provides user guides and API references for real-time streaming, low-latency streaming, and the chat feature, along with AWS re:Post resources.
Maker: Amazon Web Services says it launched in 2006 and is part of Amazon.
