The AWS Cloud Environment

The Amazon Web Services (AWS) Cloud Environment section covers everything you need to know about setting up your project to stream to external viewers. First we walk you through configuring an AWS instance to run your production cluster. Then we show you how to build your project to work with that cluster and stream to external services.

For a hands-on experience, we include intructions on how to run both the DirectX Sample and Unreal Tournament Sample in the cloud.

See The Azure Cloud Environment for information on setting up services in a Microsoft Azure cloud environment.

The functionalities present here are in beta. This code is not ready for production usage, but can be used to test your integration on the cloud.
