Amazon Kinesis Video Streams (KVS)
Amazon KVS was released on November 29th, 2017. KVS is a fully managed, serverless service for ingesting video and other time-encoded data such as audio, Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR), and Radio Detection and Ranging (RADAR) signals. KVS abstracts away many of the core challenges of building video systems, enabling developers to focus on the application instead of the complex video infrastructure required to handle low-latency video at scale.
Video cameras can stream live video into KVS with only a few seconds' buffer delay. The video can then be consumed with both real-time and batch-oriented processes. KVS also supports Web Real-Time Communication (Web-RTC) to enable peer-to-peer two-way video/audio communication. This is a low-latency peering technique designed for real-time human-to-human interaction features such as video chat.
With KVS, a video is a series of images, and each one of these images is called a frame. Frames are...
