Solution Overview
This solution provides Amazon Web Services (AWS) customers and business partners a common method for directly transferring media assets.
This solution creates a shared object storage area using an Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) bucket between publishers and subscribers in a separate, secured AWS account. Publishers copy the assets into this shared S3 bucket and create permissions to allow subscribers to pull the content from the shared resource.
Solution Benefits
Publishers and subscribers do not share credentials. Assets are encrypted at rest and in transit.
There are no per GB data egress and transfer costs within the same AWS Region and no servers to manage or licensing fees.
You can get up to 100GB/s in transfer speeds in the same Region because assets never leave the S3 data plane. In addition, S3 conducts asset integrity checks before, during, and after the transfer.
All operations on assets are tracked via Amazon S3 server access logs. Publishers and subscribers receive automatic notifications.
